No one?s playing consistently well at this point. Every side in that league is capable of taking points from the top sides; this weeks results have proven that beyond doubt.
I had a feeling that ginger, parade ground staffer was going to frustrate us yesterday. United next weekend could be a real test of our resolve.
City took 3pts from them at home. It?s a must win.
It is an absolute must win. The game after is at Leeds. **** me, that is a tough game.
Our away record this season is not good enough. 14 goals in 11 games. 2 wins from our last 6 matches.
It is our excellent home form that has kept us top. If that dips, we are in deep ****.
It may be that we can win the league playing like we have this season. But it will rely on City not getting their act together.
It is better, but only just. Villa and Spurs have taken 3 points fewer than us away from home. Both have scored more goals.
More worryingly, our away results are getting worse rather than better. 4 of those wins came in the first five games. Then 2 from the next 6.
For now it is enough. If City click into gear it won't be.
We are capable of doing better. And matching our capabilities should be the target.
