And where do you think your points prediction will leave us in the league?
Last season in January and February when we dropped points and the mancs overtook us, we played Stoke away, bitters at home and Wigan away and drew all three. Our home win against Bolton was followed by the 5-1 at SJP just before that poor run. We don't start this run at the top of the table, we are behind in the race for a top four finish and can ill afford more defeats or even too many draws. Our run after Boxing Day last season was P10 W5 D4 L1 F19 A9 PTS 19, we need to start putting out a 70% win rate (or better)
