Still not lost in 2013 Wigan and Newcastle lost Hopefully Villa and Southampton lose 4 points at the moment from 17th place so that is 1 point better than before today's matches. Harry will know he still needs players in. Our fate will depend on matches between February and April
Exactly, good point today, West Ham under Big Sam is a very difficult place to go, just ask Chelsea and Man Utd. Plus, they lost last weekend and midweek, they were bound to be up for today. Although it's not great to see Reading come from behind to snatch at vital win 2 weeks in a row, it won't keep happening and it might be better that Newcastle's poor form continues and they are dragged down into it. 4 points from 17th, 6 from Newcastle and 7 from Southampton. We've certainly got a much better chance of surviving than we did 6 weeks ago.
Taarabt-Remy partnership looks promising too and as Peruvian said on the other thread, we stayed in it under immense pressure.
A point away from home in the Prem against any opposition is always a decent result. We were battered for long periods of the match today.
We'd never have been remotely in touch had Hughes still been in charge. This was a bad month fixture-wise and we've not lost, new faces to come and hopefully we'll start a winning run in Feb & Mar...
This was a GREAT point away from home. We were battered. We are SO weak at the back it is scary and to all those who say we do not need more midfielders - dream on - we need to hold the ball. We were battered because we could not retain basic possession. We lost the ball so easily. Cesar a king.
It is a real positive that we have any hope left at this point of the season. After Liverpool I wished we could FF to the end of the season to end the misery.
