The way it stands

Not a great set of results for us with Sunderland recording their first away win of the season at Aston Villa and Bolton managing a draw at home to Man City. Cheers Sven. Reading also beat Birmingham which, according to my calculations, leaves the foot of the table looking like this.
  • 15th. Reading - 31 points
  • 16th. Sunderland - 30 points
  • 17th. Birmingham - 27 points
  • 18th. Bolton - 26 points
  • 19th. Fulham - 23 points
  • 20th. Derby - 10 points

It doesn't change things greatly. A couple of wins and the whole picture will look different. At the moment we are still four points from safety with Birmingham needing to be overhauled. Sunderland and Reading, meanwhile, have managed to put some daylight between themselves and the rest of the chasing pack. We can still survive - but we've got to start winning to do so.

can't believe Sunderland have wormed out of this. It's us v Birmingham now I reckon, and they have a four point start.

we must win our next three matches to remain viable. Other than that, we'll need collapses by two teams above us.

Oh for the points given away at Bolton and Wigan.
