    Yep definetly, along with Norwich, Reading, QPR, Wigan and us. That is as things stand of course but I don't think we are any worse than any of those teams.

    Fulham didn't look great against us. I agree that Reading have a good chance of getting a result, but it depends on which Fulham team turns up.

    Surely QPR have to pick things up eventually, they have got to be the most under-achieving team in the league at the moment versus the squad that they have.

    They do have some really good playes. Granero has looked outstanding so far. But I don't think much of their strike force. As things stand they are in the mix for the drop though.

    I agree with you on both accounts there, but don't forget that the Fulham side who played us were without Berbatov and Petric.

    Well, Villa v Norwich went our way. Now for the rest of the games.

    Good result for us that one. Now we need Wigan, QPR and Reading to all lose!

    Good point. Glad to see that Berbatov is starting against Reading today then and Petric is on the bench. I thought Fulham might struggle a bit this season after selling Dembele and Dempsey, maybe briefly flirting with the relegation zone. But Berbatov was a smart buy, their squad is vastly experienced, fairly solid and Martin Jol is a top manager.

    I don't want West Ham to win. Draw between Wigan and West Ham.

    Really? I'd be quite happy to see WH win 5-0. Wigan are our rivals, not WH.

    It's often hard to know at this stage what is a good result for us.

    Would be happy to see Wigan get thumped, things need to be turned around though. 60% of Wigan's current points have come from us.

    Well Mcdermott isn't afraid to play a positive formation, two up top, and it's working, Fulham don't look comfortable. Can't help but feel we would benefit from playing 4-4-2 against sides we can beat, especially at home.

    Typical Reading performance so far. Fulham have had 10 shots and 69% of possession and yet Reading are winning 1-0.

    Possession means nothing, Reading look far more likely to score
