I’m sure most would have taken 16th at the beginning of the season. I can’t say I would be enthusiastic to watch such uninspiring stuff. But if we could bank that 16th place, and prepare for next season, fair enough.
Trouble is I don’t think we’ve bottomed out. I could be completely wrong and we go onto pick-up a healthy points haul. But we haven’t been ticking along, picking up the odd points, home and away. We have won 1 point from 27 away and relied on great home form.
Our next three home games are Brum, Sheff U and Villa. Is Cook going to be telling us we can’t expect too much? Because if we pick up any less than 3pts from those fixtures, and our away form doesn’t improve, we’ll be bottom three in January. A difficult window to bring players and turn it around at the best of times. Even worse if your struggling.
