Now things start to get interesting

[General]

Apparently we have the 2nd best defensive record over the last 5 games in the league, we've also only lost one league game in that time. Perhaps the narrative is/can start to shift to being more upbeat? Time will tell, but a couple of more solid results and we may need start to be more confident in what this season may bring. Fingers crossed.

Affengruber for £8m may turn out to be signing of the season. Credit to Alvaro for pushing for the signing and Tony and co for negotiating a bargain.

I will try to actually answer the OP's question. I see us getting 8 points form the next 8 games. I'd like to predict c. 12 but I just cannot see where the goals are going to come from. sdly if I'm right (and I fervently hope not to be) then that will be a point a game which is relegation form.  It's weird because I don't think this is a relegation team at all, but when I'm confronted with where we are going tp pick up the wins for 3 points? I struggle a bit.

You could argue that we could have won 4 in a row- being just minutes from getting 6 points from Man Utd and Ipswich.

Also a point per game is almost always fine to stay up and isn't relegation form (35.33 has been the average).

So you are saying you would be perfectly relaxed if we were on target to hit 38 points? Far too risky for my peace of mind!

A point or more at Villa Park would indicate that a significant corner has been turned.

Seriously concerned tonight that we won't pick up 8 points in the next 8 games, we're in serious trouble and in the January transfer window we need a left back, a striker and a winger,
The problem is, as West Ham hi-lighted last season, it's almost impossible to recruit when you're in the relegation zone.
Worrying times ahead.

Unfortunately it is worrying.
I shall try and relax and take one game at a time.

Defence wise affrenbuger and bassey
Centre midfield Charles and Berge is a good quality spine with the rest of the eleven around them and should be safe enough this season .

Those 4 can be as good as you like but until we find another Ross McCormack or Mitrovic we will continue to be in or around the relegation places for the remainder of the season.

And the spine isn't just those 4 it starts with the number 9 and goes all the way back to the keeper.
