Assuming we lost the 5 away games, that also gives 3 points to each of our rivals which is an issue. 6 point games and all that.
Not disputing that element. United (albeit at home) at the weekend was a key game because they are a top 4 rival and the game came ahead of some other very tough fixtures. These games do matter and a 6 pointer isn't just about closing in on your rivals or creating a gap - for me they come down to momentum and form - big wins build confidence and confidence gets results in the other games (all of which matter).
