With our defence a point away from home against a side we have a shocking record against and that is fighting for a top 4 spot must be seen as a very good result.
We cant keep a clean sheet, our defence is shot to pieces, so I cant see anyway we will win this game. A draw would therfore be an excellent result IMO.
I have us down for a point against spuds, home wins against Sunderland and Stoke (wont be easy) and a point away to Wolves. I think this is realisic given how poor our defence is.
8 points from 12 is much better than we have been getting of late and would see us in or around the top 4 come 1st january (I think Liverpool will get 10 points from the next 4 games, Spuds and Villa 5)
Any hopes I have of a top 4 finish at this stage our based on us buying a quality left back, right back and right winger in January (unlikley) that and Hughes managing to acheive something he has not since he has been at the club - putting our a defence that can actually defend and keep clean sheets.
