Were Still In Good Shape.

We lost 3.0 today but West-ham lost 5.1 to Ipswich, and Southampton lost 3.0 to Brighton so shit happens. Yes we have had a bad run, but it wont last, and whatever happens we've still had a great season.We will rediscover our form have faith. 
We have done brilliant this season, but things have unravelled a bit you cannot deny that, with 3 points from 12 in February.
Were going to have to be bloody consistent to get enough points from the rest of our games to stay in the play-offs, let alone get automatic.We can still get something out of this season we just need to step it up and turn this blip into a run of points. Its getting really tough at the top with some decent teams all sniffing around the top 6 places but we can still be a force to be reckoned with. 
(played,goal difference then points)
1Southampton 32 23 59
2West Ham United 30 16 57
3Reading 31 12 54
4Cardiff City 3 213 53
5Blackpool 31 14 52
6Birmingham City 30 20 51
7Hull City 30 6 50
8Middlesbrough 30 4 50
9Brighton and Hove Albion 31 3 49
10Burnley 32 7 47
11Leeds United 32 2 46
12Crystal Palace 31 1 43
13Leicester City 31 5 42
The teams highlighted red pose a serious threat to us through the season, so we have to aim to stay ahead of at least five of those to make the play off's.This is still very doable from where we are.

The games highlighted red are going to be particularly hard to win,the rest we could win or draw, but every game is going to be tough.What do you think needs to be done to get consistency back into the squad? Is it just new players or is it something else that is needed?
Cmon City, if were not going to make automatic lets at least go down fighting! Fingers crossed we beat Liverpool and then Hammer the Hammers. The million dollar question is how do we get our form back perhaps a certain cup could lift the players spirits?
A run of wins now and we could be back in business, even the best teams have a bad run, perhaps were nearly out of ours.
Lots of football to be played yet, and we have the quality, and we will turn it around!

Totally agree long way to go yet, but we do need to be picking up points from these away games like today.
