Your pedestrian pace meant you were unlikely to make any terrible mistakes, but equally you weren't going to leave Preston gasping for breath, dazzled by your brilliance.
But your play-off rivals aren't that brilliant. Fulham have a couple of top-notch Premier League players in Mitrovic and Carvalho, Bournemouth's Solanke, Christie and Lloyd are good, QPR, you just have to pull the Chair from under them and give Dykes a penalty to miss, Forest's Spence and Johnson are keen and dangerous, Middlesbrough are very reliant on Isiah Jones out wide for excitement, West Brom have chained themselves to the ordinary with Steve Bruce, Blackburn's rise has been uniquely Chilean. A team that believed in itself and went for three points when they looked possible could even go up. Unfortunately only Fulham look as though they might have prospects of staying there.
