The run-in leading up to 2013

[eamonn]

Risso going with the lowest, who would have thought it?! Sad to say that it's easy to imagine those outcomes though.

7 out of 24. I'm usually optimistic.

Tough group of games. After Arsenal we have on paper, 3 winnable games, but they'll be very tough. Two relegation 6 pointers. Those sort of games can go either way. If Reading pull off a result, and they'll fight tooth and nail to, then we'll be in trouble. QPR can't go the whole season without winning, as shite as they are, and it'd be just our luck for them to do it against us.
The other more winnable games are still tough. We never do well against Stoke or Wigan. Come post xmas I also fancy Martinez to take Wigan on a good run again and pull away of the relegation area.

I think we'll struggle to get 10 points to be honest. By the time January comes around we'll have a lot of work to be done. We need the signings to have a stronger 2nd half of the season. I'd guess 35ish points would be enough. We'll just about scrape that I think.

9 points. Bloody hell that's grim.

[Tom_Mc9?]

No idea, but I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. I'm pretty sure we won't get a very satisfactory points return from these games, but after Christmas we'll climb to a more comfortable position. No particular reason for this theory, just think it'll happen.
