Sheff Utd could be level and Wolves 7 points clear of us.
Or....
I don't start by thinking of that scenario and anything else is a bonus.
Points in the bag makes it easier to cope with.
Same happens the week after, with our late ko versus Hull everyone else will play before us
I'll admit to being a glass half empty City fan but under Warnock I just get the feeling that this team are happy doing their thing and not worrying about what clubs around us are doing.
Whilst the points gap is pleasant reading when looking at the tables it will undoubtedly fluctuate throughout the season but I see in this team a certain steel that gives me a fair amount of unusual optimism about how this season will pan out.
December is a very good month for us on paper. Although the Championship doesn't work out like that and you can lose to the bottom 3 and then beat the top 6, if we can take 14-15 points from 18 against Norwich (H), Reading (A), Hull (H), Bolton (A), Fulham (H), Preston (H) then I'm convinced we'd be looking at being 6-7 points clear come January 1st.
Villa have a tough December, Sheff United have a tough few games. They also play each other so a draw in that is ideal or one team will drop 3 points. Bristol City also go to Sheff United this month.
If we just do our own thing then the table will look good come New Year's Eve

Looks like it too Mike
A few weeks back you were saying that Stam was in trouble, but it looks like it's been turned around a bit.
It's such a close league that even in 17th or 18th place a run of 3-4 decent results can propel you to within reach of the play offs.
Bristols win means unless it's a draw at Bramwell Lane next weekend we will only have a 3 point gap come Mon 11th.
Should be a decent encounter.
I'd take a point and then look for a maximum at home to Hull and also Bolton away.
Fulham and Preston at home to follow over Xmas, then a tough trip to QPR before the FA Cup break
I’m still angry with Stam for the team selections and formations in the first couple of months. He has finally got the message. The problem is we are playing catch up and have to keep winning. Looking at your miserly defence it will be a tough game and I reckon it will end 1-1. You have the best defensive record in the division by a distance but I don’t hear folk on here mentioning this.
Still don’t work out
I get it now....but the won’t win will they
