Slightly warped logic alert...
Having a team a few wins ahead of us COULD actually work in our favour.
Knowing how adept we are at snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory (perceived or otherwise) I would much rather we were in the chasing pack than in Brighton's position right now. It keeps our minds focused on the chase rather than constantly looking over our shoulders.
Being naturally pessimistic supporters, we look at Brighton's position and think: "sod it, we'll never catch them" and yet, if it was Saints in their position we'd be looking at the gap nervously and saying: "it's nowhere near safe yet folks, they can easily still catch us"
Chasing pack for me every time.
