West Brom have got to much of a soild and hard working team to get seriously dragged down into it.

I would say Fulham might struggle but they still have Diop, Jensen, Volz and Boa Morte to come back in, so they should have to much tbh.

4 points is a lot, and looking at our fixtures, i can't see us closing it, it might be a long christmas.
It's ashame because games we haven't really deserved to loose, Man City, villa, Everton, West Ham, charlton, Newcastle etc have cost us 7+ points.

Maybe I am being too cautious then, because we also have some flair as well now as you might have seen on MOTD.

Just remember that we only had 10 points at christmas last year.

Yes, the teams are tougher now but you do have the time to turn it around and someone in that pack will go through a poor run.

Villa fans don't seem to happy with their lot and if they stop winning at home they are in real trouble.

Everton were struggling to score, if it comes back they could have the bad patch.

Fulham and West Brom are the only teams that haven't won away yet, so home form is vital here as well.

Someone will surely **** it up, you just have to get a run going.

Yes!
I wanted 2 wins from our two home games against west ham and fulham, but 1 is better than 0 of course!

couldn't watch the game, but I heard the goal was good, and like last season, we seem to do clearly better with Dunn. Who are we playing next? Manu was it? I guess a lucky win would make me happy

What was that Mike and the Mechanics song?

'All I need is a miracle......'

4 pts now could be 7 or 8 after games at Man C, Tottenham and Chelsea, tbh.

I'll be going upto Manchester this weekend a new man, with newly found confidence.

On a serious note, City with a few players out, us on a little bit of a hiigh, result possible? Anyone else making the trip upto the City of Manchester? Will be my first time in the new stadium, will be interesting to see what it's like, apparently it's top drawer.

btw we should find out by the end of January if the casino license will be granted to us or the NEC. We are te favourites for it atm, so if we do get it, you caan all get of your arses and come and get season tickets as they'll be much cheaper in a bigger stadium...so we are told.

We NEED a result against Man City.
Man City have dropped some easy points, and I'm sure, if we play well we can get a win.
And if we do get a win, hopefully it will give us some momentum (added with a win over Manu in the quarter finals which i'm sure we're gonna get ) for the 3 tough games against Manu, Spurs and Chelsea. From those 3, hopefully we can sneak in a win and a lucky draw? Perhaps I'm being to hopeful, but I'm pretty optimistic after 2 wins out of 3.

Still though, performances have still been pretty poor, the football we've played, chances we've created in relation o possesion, don't you think?

All i can say is if we avoid relegation this season, we will have had a major escape. Still though, i can't seem to help but get my tickets for game after game even though the chances of us winning and playing some decent football are fek all.

But still, we have got wins with some average performances, while in the past we've lost some matches that we should have won. It shows that we're finally learning how to win, even when our performances are under par.
