You do have to take into consideration though the fact that whilst our set of home games towards the back end of the season are against sides of better quality than the likes of Reading and Sunderland at the moment, those sides quite probably wont have anything to really play for. West Brom, West Ham, Stoke - there's every chance that none of them will be fighting for Europe, and also not fighting to avoid relegation. Seven points from those three games would be no different to the seven points we've obtained from our last three home games, vs Reading, Norwich and Newcastle. We need to win at least one of these four Christmas games (two wins would be great, but I don't think it's a requirement and I certainly don't expect it), and then just hope that not too much damage is done during January and February (which it shouldn't be, so long as take something from the away games vs Vila and Wigan).
