WINS at Watford and at home to Fulham put Wanderers back on track but the wheels came off again, when they went to Tottenham aiming to force their way back into the top four.
A 4-1 beating at White Hart Lane raised fresh fears that, if they didn't get back to the basics of solid defending and good organisation, they might miss out on Europe altogether.
Drawing 1-1 at Arsenal at the end of January had raised hopes that this could be Wanderers' year in the FA Cup. They hoped history would repeat itself and that they'd feature in and win the first final at the new Wembley. But the dream was shattered when the Gunners won the fourth round replay at the Reebok, 3-1 in extra time.
