A fortunate break to see the leaders slip up and you were able to take advantage of it. Hard to believe someone can go 159 games without an assit. You would think they would get one by accident in that many games.

Yeah maybe so. But I do actually find it hard to get assists from the centerbacks. Goals come from time to time, from corners etc, but it's not often I succesfully drive up the ball from those positions to create a goal.
Three in the lead, two will earn automatic promotion while the third will be forced to play-offs and miss promotion all together. Better not be that third team, that would make it feel sour: this is where the excellent defensive record comes in to keep you in 2nd for now. However, you could make it easier on yourself to score more than 1.57 goal avg. per game.

That's true. One of the three teams will be left disappointed and could end up with Crystal Palace in the playoff maybe. 3rd place finish in the league, and perhaps Palace make a push to end in 6th? That could be a terrible fate for the one missing out on the automatic promotions.
You're also right about the fact that my defence is carrying me for the time being. I've failed to score in 6 games this season, four times 0-0 and two 0-1 defeats. So a few more goals would work wonders for me, no doubt.
Your team is sounding like mine. Solid defense that is keeping you in games but the attack is letting you down. Avoiding the playoff has to be the main goal now, winning the league secondary.

Absolutely. In my mind there isn't the big difference between finishing first and second in a lower league tier as League One. Promotion is key, first or second place is not important.
Tricky: three in the lead and right now your defence is decisive.
But you're not first in terms of wins, or in terms of scoring goals.

8 goals in the last 3 matches. Looks like scoring form has returned on time.
