    Top half of the table.

    Not a great game by any means but an extra point that takes us into the top half...for now, at least.
    The good thing is we have a few players to gel in and a few to come back in. It bodes well for us to make a little bit more progress in terms of consolidating our position in the top half as we go on, possibly.

    A bit of time to gel in the newbies into the set up.... off and on the pitch, before our next premier game away to Arsenal.

    My hands are clasped for some better football.... but it's not looking too shabby as it stands, in the league.
    Howay the lads.

    The chances are he'll start them....but, it's his call and he's obviously going to try and ensure he keeps a solid foundation and nibble away from that with the flair players.
    It would be fantastic to see us balance out from this point on.
    I'd say Norwich was a potential banana skin for us and, as much as it appears like defending the team and manager, you have to look at the consequences of a defeat at home against the bottom club, which could've set off the touchpaper for discontent which can quickly channel down and create uneasiness.

    The positives are 10th and a clean sheet plus the resulting point from the potential banana skin against a team that can actually play real good football.

    I'd have loved the 3 with exciting football....of course...but we didn't lose and that counts for a lot.

    We have no right to beat anyone.
    A fair amount of fans have us as relegation candidates, still, so going by that mentality, none of those should be expecting anything.

    Christ...what a load of ****e...

    We played crap again...we didn't fluke 3 points this time...only the saint causing problems for the opposition...Joelinton still useless...

    😂 if a person thinks that we will be relegated then they should be happy with a point!?

    Playing the bottom team at home is a 'potential banana skin'??? I've never heard such sh*te in all my life.

    This is the perfect scenario for you isnt it?

    We've somehow managed to get 31 points with some absolutely atrocious performances and when it comes unstuck like today you can take the moral high ground.

    Nothing's come unstuck.
    We gained a point.

    You can't expect 3 points.
    You can hope for 3 points or hope we don't lose.

    We didn't lose.

    Predictable

    Just like when bruce goes and if we get a manager we all get behind you will of course go against him
