We need the attack to get its mojo back. 5 goals in 10 games is relegation form.
Last year we got 18 points from teams who were relegated. Without those we would have been close to relegation in 16th place
So far we got 1 from bottom four teams and promoted sides - WBA.
Leeds will be a test.
The Sheffield game is a must win as will be Fulham
I’m not confident we’ll get more than 3 on top of the 1 we have. Fingers crossed COVID stays away!
Leaving aside the City debacle results have improved recently with a win and two draws. We need to keep this upturn in form going but it is a tough run of fixtures with Arsenal Villa and Leeds all away. The home games against Wolves Sheffield United and Fulham will be crucial.
Fulham game is January 2nd at home - another must win.

Arsenal, Villa, Leeds away, Wolves at home, anything from them will be a bonus, then it's Sheffield United and Fulham at home, six points from them and things might look a whole lot better.
I thought yesterday was encouraging, we ground out a result against a better team, that's the sort of performance we need if we're to stay up, and let's be honest, getting just one or two more points than Fulham and WBA in the next 28 games shouldn't be beyond us, if it is we deserve to go down.
Our form in the last 5 games is better than Leeds, Everton, Arsenal and Villa.
We have picked up 5 points from out last 4 matches and if we could continue with that ratio it would give us 41 points which may or may not be enough. Time will tell!
West Ham were relegated with 42 points in 2002/03.
Good news
We’re up a place thanks to Palace 5-1 and a red card.
