We’ve only had 7 wins in almost a Calendar year and you expect 10 in half a season?

Or 1 win in 13 this season and we're gonna win 10 in 25 games? Hahaha.

We're not half way through the season. We won't need ten wins. We tend to finish the season much better. But not looking good - feels different somehow.

Doubt we'll need another 10 wins to be safe, 8 along with a few draws will probably be enough, however I do wonder precisely where those 8 wins are coming from right now.

We've played a third of the season with 1 win. Statistically we're going to get 3-4 more and that's it.

Negativity looses games with positive outlook anything is possible.

We certainly need a defining moment. In the 18/19 season we'd got 12 points after 19 matches, having just lost 5-1 at home to Everton. For all the world we looked dead and buried.

We then somehow got 18 points from the next 8 matches.

We’ll need at least 8 from 24 so at least 1 win from every 3 games maybe more if 34pts isn’t enough.

Well! if you believe in omens our good run started when West Ham rocked up at TM, so let's hope Wednesday is the start of a similar return in the next month or so. :)

Cornet will be missing late December until February with the AFCON anyway.

:oops: I thought that was when we played West Ham, amend it to Sunday then.

6 points in these next 2 home games and the perspective and table could look drastically different, however we'll need to show a hell of a lot more going forwards than we have in the past 2 away games where we've barely troubled the opposition keepers.

6 points in the last two games and the table would have looked drastically different but it looks similar to before....

To be fair, we've not had many lucky breaks and we've had quite a lot of unlucky ones. We should certainly have had a penalty against Norwich. We should certainly have had half an hour against 10 men against Palace. I'm fairly sure there was another cast iron penalty that we didn't get, though I can't remember the game. Wood was offside by a toenail in the last minute against Leicester when if the camera had been a twentieth of a second different he might have been onside. 8 more points we might have had but didn't; I can't remember anything the other way where we were a gnat's whisker away from losing a point that we did get.

Nothing for bad luck, obviously. But we've been better than a 10 point side so far, or would have been with average luck.

The good news is we only need 8 wins.

The bad news is 10 out of 24 games are very unlikely wins against top sides.
So 8 wins out of 14 doesn't leave much room for error.

8 wins is a bloody big stretch at the moment. We've only got 7 in near enough the last calendar year.

There was able to be a defining moment though. Replace Hart with Heaton. Similarly in The Championship when Mee was removed from left back to centre half. Both these changes were discussed many times on here before they happened on the pitch.

Where is the defining moment coming from now?

Absolutely but my point was things can change very quickly in this league, especially during the hectic festive schedule.

However it's fair to say we do need a good run over Christmas just to stay in touch with the teams around us, and right now that doesn't look likely I'm afraid.

10 points another 10 wins and we are safe.

Correct as I think that will be achieved, give or take a few points either way.
