We'd better hope we pick up a few points in February because it's looking like another 4 in a row without scoring in March.
GO! is there anything in life that you are positive about?
Ever the optimist Clive, it must sicken you every time we don't lose.
Hey Lurker, see you're doing the roundup of laggards and nonentities.
jamie - I reckon I've become a wum's wum in recent times - deep down I think they enjoy it
I'm a positive fan, always have been, always will be.
But I'm not an idiot fan.
Birmingham have a better team than us and in the good form that they are on will fancy beating Saints to 2nd spot.
Bristol City despite the positive result we achieved there last year they are a very dangerous team. With the likes of Adomah and Maynard in their team (lets hope he gets sold to the prem) they will look to trouble our poor defence. We were lucky to play them under their previous manager, but since then they have been in fantastic form.
Brighton will be a tough game and if they come to Elland Road and dominate the ball (the way they like to play) they have players capable of goals.
Coventry away bottom of the league and the worst team i have seen all year. Although the Boro result and even our performance at Elland Road against them must give us some reason to worry.
Should beat Donny at home as they are very poor away from home. Don't underestimate the likes of Sharp and Diouf though.
Portsmouth have got a decent home form so again will be a tough ask to pick up 3 points.
I'm a positive fan, always have been, always will be.

Sorry Clive, to the casual observer the only discernible positivity appears to be your irrational hatred of Simon Grayson, and it does you no favours.
should be getting 3 points each week?
Have you seen us play?
Deluded, unless of course quality is added.
We're probably performing to status and type, which is
an above average championship club, on the
periphery of challenging for promotion, which is what
realistically I expected this season....anyone who
expected more in my opinion has unrealistic
expectations of the club.
If we are in trouble as a team/club then I feel sorry
for the rest...we're just about fighting our weight
this season!
The casual observer is just that.
How is my hatred of Grayson irrational?
He's a terrible man who's destroying my club.
Tuscany You playing chess tonight?
SKB has done a decent look at the clubs we have ti play in the posts above. The team we need to worry about the most is Brum. No doubts about it. They are flying and I don't see us stopping that.
Plus we have a student trainee int eh office whos a Brum fan and it will happen cos he can then rip it out of me. He's already doing alot at the moment anyway. He's a smug get to be honest. Not a fan of him.
NJS.. only a friendly against a mate tonight, and also going through the game I drew last week...
tuscany, you play chess
I did many years ago, was about 2200
RSL... yes mate I do, what is 2200 in todays grades?
about 200 unless its changed, was that at 16
RSL.... yes your correct just checked it my, my, you can play.... this season is my first season back so currently ungraded, but when I was 14 ish I was 192...
lost one game so far this season, got knocked off balance with his d5 answer to my e4, long time since I've played against that played the game back obviously and turns out I played it all wrong - studied the portugease variation to counter that in future...
well done that man 200, ever heard of Richard Palliser? he plays in the Leeds league now. grade 235...
no dont know him,not played for so long.
back in the day my rivals were Angus Dunnington,James Howell, Andrew Dyson etc
