I feel 10th or 12th on around 50 points if we sign reinforcements in January

We could hit 33 or 34 points by the first weekend in January with a good run of results, but we’ll only do that if we’re all behind them and not moaning at them all the time. And the run has to start somewhere, remember 1998-99, we weren’t looking much cop by Christmas then either and it was Boxing Day where the season turned around.
