Found it. Of course we are in a better position but it really feels like we've stalled these past few weeks. Surely we can't have as bad a January and February as last season can we?

4 points better than the same stage last season, and some people are still insistent that Bruce has done a good job.

Given last years start to the season resulted in the manager being fired, to only be 4 points better off this season is shocking.

Thought we were miles better off than last season so yes it is worrying.

We are still on course to finish on 76 points. Not sure anyone has ever not got in the top 6 with that tally.

My target was top 2 though. I just wouldn't fancy us in the play offs. All the pressure would be on us for a start and we're not a club in recent years who've cope well with expectation.

Are we? How many games has it been since we had a win?

I said a while ago December would be a tough month for us and it's gone even worse than predicted as I assume we'd beat Millwall.

You wouldn't bank on us winning any of the next three either.

I do look at February and March though and think we'll go on another good run then (we have games v Barnsley, SHA, Burton, Hull, QPR, Bolton and Sunderland in that period) so they'll be a fair few wins there I'm sure.

Where we'll be in the league at that point I obviously can't tell you.

The problem bing we don't beat teams on a par with us   I am starting to wonder as to whether or not we will donate Leeds and mess up towards the end

Well a win would actually get us within six points of second.

I think we know what's going to happen though....

Haha, you gotta love the H&V "voice" sometimes, especially at Crimbo it seems.

Out of the play offs yet closer to second than we have been for a while despite three poor results.

Hope they've brought their arm bands for tonight. Pissing it down tonight down here.

To be fair, I agree with aj2k77's sentiment.
