This is the season...

[Walmley_Villa]

Need to get on 16 pts min by the turn of the year for me.....

What a grim statement that is Walmley, and probably a true one.

[Des Little]

We'd struggle to get 16 points if we employed Jenson Button to drive the team bus.

I just hope we get past the 11 points that Derby managed.

After last night, I'd say we're struggling to get that many.

Absolutely. I'm getting to the stage where this is our first target milestone. I think we should achieve it but as for staying up, I think the problems go too deep. Thanks Fox, Reilly and Almstadt.

My biggest worry is whether we do actually have any decent players, or enough of them. I keep reading the squad is pretty good, it just needs the right manager. On my pessimistic days (increasingly frequent), I just see a pile of very average players with no one who can put the ball in the net. I hope I'm proved wrong as and when a new manager arrives. We certainly need a very big January transfer window with substantial money splashed on a striker, and possibly a goalkeeper.

sadly club's will be on their Garde and hike prices accordingly

Oh the optimism

Oh the optimism

i don't have any,I am with Richard Moore comment above ,a bunch of average players with a dodgy goalkeeper and no goal scorer, I think we could be adrft by January.

[SoccerHQ]

Another -4 for Sunderland's goal difference. They'll really struggle to pick up wins away looking at them today, hopeless defensively.

[levico]

Good to see Everton giving Sunderland a good thrashing.

However, I suspect that's what we should expect later in the month - can't see us getting two goals though.

Me too. And I can see us getting a proper hiding tomorrow.
