When we talk about “2 steps forward and 1 step back” though (at least in the context of recent games) what we are really talking about is two wins, followed by a loss (or to put it a different way, an average of 2 points per game).Naturally some people are more positive than others. Wiz would still think promotion was on if we were 30 points off 6th with 10 games left. A_T_G would find fault if we were 4 clear with 1 to go...
For the majority of us, I'd feel that uncertainty this season is really just linked to the inconsistency we've shown and the '2 steps forward/1 step back' or '1 step forward/2 steps back' pattern that's generally bookmarked the season. It's also probably linked to some of our performances when we've lost. Last Tuesday's loss (as an example) showed us nothing positive whatsoever and it also wasn't a surprise to anyone really. As long as we have that in the memory bank it's going to keep people 'guarded' against getting too bullish about how the season will pan out.
OK we might also question performance levels, but should we also be questioning our own individual mentality as fans?
In any normal ‘reality’ we ought to all be upbeat and positive right now and yet somehow it feels like many people are struggling.
