Four wins in the last 14 league games.

Can’t see it - we’re not that far away in terms of points right now but we concede far too many goals. It’s impossible for the attack to function well enough to make up that gap.

Too much sloppiness all over the team. It's not the tactics it's just players not being able to control the ball sufficiently. It's basic stuff.

It's a frustrating season. We are so wasteful. Probably threw away 6-7 points this season, off the top of my head.

Ever since Footy disappeared we’ve been rubbish.

We are 9th at the halfway mark.  We are really poor at the back and a few players are way below where they were last season. We are still going well in the CL this season but really need three or four players in this January window to give us a boost.  Have we got the money, do we sell a valued current player?  Go bust for the FA Cup?  I can't see us above 6th.  Another crack at the Conference League shouldn't be sniffed at.

Conceding that goal has changed my view. I don't think we'll qualify via the league now.

It's happening too often regardless of the relatively small points gap.

We are only 3 pts behind Newcastle which is crazy.

Off the top of my head I can think of Forest, tonight and Ipswich.  And that’s not including the games like Arsenal where we seemed to deliberately avoid scoring

Just seen that Chelsea lost. Very strange season all around.

Bournemouth at home. 96th min, conceded the equaliser.

As it stands now, absolutely no chance, we are too easy to score against. See if anything happens in Jan.

I doubt we'll qualify. But I thought it was too soon this season, so I wouldn't be disappointed with Europa League. We need more time to build a squad for the top bit of the PL, let alone one deep enough to compete in the CL at the same time.
