Not scared to death like.

Only takes a slight improvement for us to finish above them.

Feels like they're finding their feet, strengthening in the window. Last 5 games has them in better form, striker who can score...

I'm concerned!
Missed their match against Chelsea but they were decent enough against Fulham. Thankfully they lose to the dross they need to beat like us and Palace at home.

I'm not fancying us under Dyche to win more games than Ipswich if he stays until the end of the season. Don't think Vitor will do that well at Wolves despite the strong start but Cunha is such a talent that he could keep them up on his own.

Concerning times, hoping TFG can see that.

I do hate the phrase "Everton that" but it would be typical after all the points deductions, relegation battles and jokes about BMD being the best stadium in the Championship that with new owners we finally fuck it up and get relegated and start in the BMD in the Championship all by our own doing.

We could do without all the sudden improvements happening at some of the clubs around us.

We've been saved in the past by other teams just sucking more than us.

At least results went our way, Leicester aren't getting a new manager bounce and the Porto guy's honeymoon is over, back to back 3-0 defeats and 8 goals conceded in their last three games.

Think Leicester are as gone as Southampton tbh.

We'll have to see how streaky Ipswich continue to be. Wolves very much down there despite the Cunha factor. Palace clear now.

Ipswich do look like they have more about them. Its between ourselves and Wolves on current form for that last spot.

Ipswich are still well in it. Seem to have decent results here and there but only have 1 home win all season. Lost to Everton and Palace at home. Got slapped at home 4-0 by Newcastle a few weeks ago.

Didn't kick on after winning at Spurs, we'll see if they do after 4 points in 2 matches. They've got Brighton, Liverpool and City in their next 3.

Van Nistelrooy is their Frank Lampard. He will send them down.

Ah yeah, Ipswich are probably still well in it. It is all tea leaf gazing at this point. It just feels like they can pull a couple of results out of the bag with Delap and the way they set up to play compared to the way that we are floundering at the moment.

Haven't looked at the table in a long while as when we are shite I tend to avoid it as it's depressing enough.

Didn't realise there is quite a gap between us and United now who have Southampton tonight.

Looks like 16th at best even with a good run.

Still think it shouldn't take an awful lot for us to pull away though.

A few signings and formation tweaks that I believe Moyes will do and some favorable fixtures to come should see us start to pull away.

Ipswich are a difficult one, could go either way but I feel they are this seasons Luton.

They will get more than 26 points like but don't believe that football is sustainable enough for the rest of the season.

Don't think 40 will be needed once again so we should be OK.
