I don't think we have had a slump like this since the Stan Ternent days. Has the Christmas curse come back it used to be an annual thing start well then come December we fall apart, we really need to pick up points soon or in 3 or 4 games time we will be looking down not up. Newcastle are there for the taking fail to pick up a point or 3 there then City and we could find ourselves starting to get sucked towards the bottom half of the table.
