Off the top of my head I can tell you we were beating Newcastle, Blackburn, Liverpool, Stoke...
QPR, Sunderland, Everton...

If those are all of the scoring draws, that means we dropped 14 points from them. Utter wank.

After 33 games last season Blues were 5 points clear of the bottom 3 on 38 points, they took 1 more point and went down on 39 points so I think some of us on here have every right to feel a little bit worried.

Although you could argue that we gained 11 points from losing positions in the Norwich, Chelsea, Wolves and QPR games.

So I'd say we were more average in that area than particularly profligate.

Blues and last season has no relevance to now. They went down on 39 and no one below us is going to get even close to that so can we stop this 'Blues had 1 more point after 33 games' crap?

Credit where credit's due, I hadn't considered those games. But I'm still annoyed.

I'd be a lot happier if the orange dot was re-introduced any day now...

Having had a mooch on the other teams' forums then Rovers and Bolton seem more negative than some of the people on here so they think they're done for.

But we won't.
We'll line up, probably with Heskey as the midfield dynamo, with the sole intention of keeping the score down to single figures.
I agree with Gabby - I just want this season to be over!

We took the lead first in 13 games and conceded first in 14 games. We have won 7 and lost 11. So if you take the fact we beat three of those 4 you mentioned, we have only won 4 matches we have scored first in this season.

Hmm almost like we sit back and defend and invite the pressure on us when we score first.

Edit: 10 points surely Dave in your post?

We could have done with Heskey in midfield on Monday, long before the 85 minute mark.
