Let's see where we are in 8 games time before we all completely throw the towel in, admittedly I do think top 2 is beyond us but a good run of victories gets everyone believing again and imagine if it comes down to either us or Southampton to go up automatically on that last game of the season at Elland Road... Beckford and Grayson 2010 vibes all over again.
Leicester, Ipswich, West Brom all losing atleast 3 players to Afcon/AsiaCup, pretty sure Saints have a couple, Soulamana is one I can think of. If ever there was a chance to close down the top 3, its January.
With virtually half the season left there's lots of twists and turns to come.

That's what I'm afraid of, Reverend
For me, everything hinges on the day the January window closes. Were we active? Were we productive?
Did we better the windows of our rivals? Important
days, weeks, and month ahead.
Gonna refresh this article, only cos I heard it said at the start of the weekend that we don’t play anyone in the top 8 away from home for the rest of the season….. and (appalling) Cardiff were 9th!
After this weekend’s fixtures, it’s a bit different to that , we have to play Boro and Coventry away but every other team is 13th or lower.
Our remaining away fixtures may well be as important as maintaining home form to catching the top 2.
