After the 3 losses to start the season, we went 8-2-3 before the deduction. Playing good football, scoring lots of goals.
Deduction happens and we lose to United but then win 4 in a row before the Fulham loss in the cup.
We were inevitably going to hit a rough patch of form, but because of the points deduction, it was compounded and made everything more tense than it should have been.
So you're saying we were playing like shit before the deduction?
