Stoke were never the danger. Millwall arent the danger. Saints and Ipswich are the danger. And they're coming
We';; just have to beat them

But realistically for Southampton to catch us we need to historically fuck up while they need to be perfect which can they be? They have lost recently and were not great against WBA

We really dont want them two going on a run. The squads both of them have, they'll start becoming winning machines.

The good news is theyre both far behind but you forget xmas there's about 6 games in 2 weeks. Alot of points to play for

Gutted about last 2 games, more so the Preston game, but some perspective...we've got 1 point out of 6 in last 2 games, but we're still 9 points clear of 3rd, Millwall, with a +31 goal difference over them.
Also over the last 6 games, none of the top 7 have done better than us...M'bro and qpr (bizarrely) have the same record ie W4 D1 L1

Start of the season I said we have to finish 3rd or 4th to have a proper chance of going up, that’ll be the minimum where we finish, looking good whatever happens

No need to get too pessimistic just yet.

Just think, we haven't reached the halfway point of the season and we are already 27 points clear of the relegation zone.

Some people need to calm down. We're in a much better position than they think. We're not the only side that will suffer injuries, illness and suspensions. We have players capable of slotting in.

We're also the only side that is currently hitting the 2 points a game target. We're on 2.2 points a game. To hit 90 points we need to average 1.77 points a game. Southampton, who some see as our main rivals now, need to average 2.3 points a game to reach 90 points. Ipswich need to average 2.16 points per game. We're still 9 points and 31 goals ahead of 3rd.

After the Southampton game we will have played away against all the sides currently in the top 6 and those that have spent heavily. The CBS is a fortress. I thought we would be challenging for a top 2 place before the season started but thought it would be Ipswich in our position. Who thought before the season started that we would win at either Ipswich or Preston? Yet these two games are supposed to be a disaster.

Winter is about here. The weather can be a great leveller. It's time to stop worrying about who is behind us and just keep putting points on the board. Yes we've lost BTA through injury but nearly everyone else is back. Rudoni will most probably be back to his best soon.
