Man for man I think it is very close, but the team are all pulling together and that may see us through, Gus took a while to organise the team last season and we may be facing the same again with so many changes up front to consider. I hope we do have 20 points by Xmas as the fixture list gives me great concern, a few wins at home would be the answer, but it is going to be no easy ride. The non signing of supposed targets Vandyke / Richards is my only real disappointment and may just cost us if we get any injuries or loss of form in defence.
Don't believe everything you read or hear from the media, Poyet has said on more than one occasion that most reports on our targets are rubbish. A lot of reported targets are just agents trying to manipulate a system to get decent packages for their clients or clubs trying to get rid of players they don't want on their books, or worst of all lazy journalism.
