Listening to BBCRB before the PNE game on Saturday, I was really surprised by Tim Dellor's reaction to Barnsley's win. "Our fate is no longer in our own hands!" Complete tosh. Your fate is no longer in your own hands when, even if you win all your remaining games, you are relying on other results to go your way. And, even if Barnsley do win their game in hand (and one or two others), we are probably not the club that will drop into the bottom 3. We certainly aren't safe yet, but describing Barnsley's win as a "hammer blow" to Reading's survival was completely unnecessary.
