I'll make a prediction that we'll be fourth bottom come the end of this month. S*** fixtures coming up, the volume of six pointers and the games against the smoggies and Birmingham have got disaster written all over them.
We're getting worse by the game, our midfield is now like a knife through butter and our defence is very suspect now that our left and right backs are being taken on.
I think for the first time this season our Championship survival prospects are on a knife edge. Bang on 50/50 I would estimate right now. Injuries and January are the big unknown factors. It is a pity though that those unknowns will play such a big part, after we got off to a decent start. After our form over the first dozen games, I think most fans would expect us to have bagged 29 or 30 points by now.
If NJ learns how to use the whole squad properly we'll be ok. If not we go down. We were average L1 for the first half last night, and for 13 minutes against Portsmouth we were second best of 2 poor teams. If he drops the midfield that came on at h/t and sticks with the sieve that went off we're dooomed.
Four more Championship games this evening I think. Will update the tables stats thread once those games are over.
