At the start of the season i never expected anything from :
Man city
Arsenal
Tottenham
Chelsea
Burnley
Bournemouth
I expected to beat Huddersfield and hoped for something against Newcastle.
Out points will come from the bottom half teams:
Huddersfield
Brighton
Fulham
Watford
Newcastle
West Ham
Crysyal Palace
Southampton
Leicester
We need to beat all of these teams at least once this season to give us around 30 points
Add in a few unexpected draws and the odd win elsewhere and survival is possible.
We are not far off given the teams we have played who most of will finish top half or top 6.
Fulham home is a huge game, not must win but must get something and must not lose.
Once we get that first win i believe November/December/January when we play the lower table teams is when our season will be decided.

We are already 6 pts adrift of that target. Those are the facts.

Hi again,
I try to be positive but I also try not to let an emotional attachment to City get in the way of making a realistic assessment of City 2018-19.
Warnock, remarkably, got us punching well above our weight to get us promoted. Once a PL team I believe we needed to have prepared accordingly. The amount spent this summer (and on Championship players) was never going to move us a tremendous amount forward to becoming a PL club. I feel sorry for Warnock in that after doing so well last season he has not really been backed in the transfer market. A princely sum of £28m would just about get you one above average PL player. That said it perplexed me that our manager has said he was happy with that budget.
There seems to be generally two camps of City fans:
- those who are almost suicidal and predicting City will be down by Christmas and
- those who are almost delusional and say, 'Enjoy it.'
I am neither suicidal or delusional. However what is disturbing is that when fans seek to give an honest appraisal of the situation there is a reaction directed to them of being, 'negative.' This City fan has had far more opportunity to be negative, if I wanted to, during my 60 years following the Bluebirds.
My over-riding feeling as I write is one of great sadness that an opportunity has not been grasped and Warnock, admittedly limited by PL standards, has not been able to have a go due to a limited transfer budget.
Whilst spending money will not guarantee success; not spending money will guarantee you failure at PL level; however it must be said spending money wisely will give you every opportunity of success.
