There's also the win at Sunderland where we got battered but won in injury time. I suppose it makes up for not beating Leeds and losing at Leicester.

As disappointing as the last couple of results were, they were against top 5 teams one of which is near enough a premier league team. To give things a bit of perspective too, our new manager has had one window with no real money to play with. I think we’ll have a better picture around February time

This doesn’t explain the mindset of a team who doesn’t seem to want to play.

I'd rather watch Southampton than City!

Another game where we just didn't look like scoring, whereas Southampton took us apart time and time again- they could have scored 6 or 7.

We’ll have to disagree then.

Southampton are almost a parody of modern football. Not for me thanks.

People forget Leeds battered us and we were lucky to get a point.

There’s a bit of a gulf between the top Championship teams and the rest and we’re some way behind it
