How many points do you think we can get ??? or should get, from the 12 games, from sat 26 to jan 1st. My thinking is for 20 out of a poss 36. What are your thoughts and what would make us all happy

Well looking at my predictions at the start of the year, I had us on 8 points, I had a win vs Everton, a draw vs Villa and Hull but a loss vs Stoke.

I then have these results:

Team H/A Goals Con''d Pts

Cardiff City H 2 0 3

Man City A 1 4 0

West Ham H 2 3 0

Newcastle A 1 1 1

Palace H 2 0 3

Liverpool A 0 2 0

WBA A 0 1 0

Swansea H 2 1 3

SunderlandA 0 0 1

Fulham H 1 1 1

Man Utd H 1 2 0

Palace A 1 1 1

That gives us 13 points from the next 12, not great as it puts us on a point a game.

January i have us gaining 7 pts from Everton away, Newcastle and Hull at home.

After a rubbish February, i have us go on an 8 match unbeaten run with the following games:

Aston Villa A W

Stoke City H W

Soton A D

SunderlandH W

Swansea A D

WBA H W

Fulham A D

Liverpool H D

So including Palace away as Jimmy Smith has done, i''d go with

Cardiff-Win

Man.C-Lose

West Ham-Win

Newcastle-Draw

Palace-Win

Liverpool-Thrashing loss

WBA-Loss

Swansea-win

Sunderland-win

Fulham-draw

Man.U-draw

Palace-win.

21 points I think that is.

Very optimistic, but I think we''re heading that way. I think we''ve been very unlucky in our last two games. And the signs have been there since day one we''ve improved the team.
