Accepted, we ain't setting the world alight, but look at the games we've lost and even then we've done OK. We got stuffed at Reading, but only after we went down to 10 men. Before then, it had taken an own goal to give them the lead, and they have won 9 straight games.

Against Stoke, we were on top and they scored against the run of play. Palace at home, we played well and did not deserve to lose.

We should be encouraged by this. MM has made us a tougher team this year, and I think we'll be OK.

Roll on 2006.

Yep, only one loss in 6 - we are holding our own in this league in a more convincing way than last season.

Where are the McGhee haters? They must have some drivel to say on this. (Probably 3 wins in 12 isn't good enogh, or similar)

....and an exceptional amount of draws so far in the championship(Wolves, Brighton, Southampton), plus Reading heading for a record means that there will be less points lower down, and hopefully less than the standard 50/51 to survive.

preston have drawn 14. 1 more than us.

For a team that was always going to struggle this season, i think we are doing ok, i can think of worse places to be, ask any millwall fan !!!
