4 points is an annoying number to be behind, but a bit of a saver if the next team is 4 points behind ...it needs 2 results to make good progress, often 2 wins v 2 losses/ loss&draw. There are 9 teams around City[10th team] who are 4 above or 4 below but in the next 5 fixtures [END JANUARY] they only play at least once against another from the 9 CITY have 2, Stoke & Florest away Birmingham 2 Sheff W & Swansea away Vila at home to QPR & Hull Sheff W have Birmingham H & Hull away Hull have 3 Sheff W H ... ... & VilA and BBurn away City MAY BE FORTUNATE TO get 7 points from the next 5 fixtures, having said that 8 or 9 points could be the best attainable1 with 6 looking to be the least! Stoke and Swansea could easily be 7th and 8th come start of February City STILL IN 12TH

Hull have certainly found a new lease of life and have not actually been in the headlines as having achieved such an impressive record, they could easily be top 2 at the moment had they had a better start!
