I think "easier said than done" is the key phrase, Saxo.
Look at the December fixtures:
Middlesbrough (A)
Birmingham (H)
Norwich (H)
Leeds (A)
Sheffield Utd. (A)
We have to be realistic. If we lose the three away games, and pick up four points from the other two, it wouldn't be the end of the world. We would probably drop to about 15th, but we then have a run of six or seven "easier" games in the new year.
That may be a bit gloomy, but I just think we have to accept that our players are generally mid-table quality, compared to some of those who have spent "large"!
For me, it's going to be more about the effort and spirit we see in the next five matches. And, of, course, this is football, so we are probably going to see a 'surprise' result in there somewhere.
Bottom line: we can't predict the future from today's performance, any more than we could from the Wigan shambles!
