The majority of sides have already played this weekend and unless Stoke beat Liverpool later we'll still be 11th but with tomorrows game in hand.
The sides below us are there for a reason, they're doing worse than us this season, so far. They're unlikely to all start winning games especially as some of them will be playing other sides below us.
We're not playing well, we've players out of form and other important players injured but we are still mid table.
There's a lot of work to be done and we can't sit back and relax but things could be a great deal worse.
I think we'll finish around where we are now, which will be an improvement on the last couple of seasons.
The big risk factor for us is that most of our points have come away from home and as the season goes on it could become harder to pick up points away from VP.If we started performing away more like we do at home, we would start to have a distinctly uncomfortable time.
Unfortunately, it looks like our hopes once again reply on playing the teams around us who simply must come at us. Then we can use our only skill of hitting them on the break. This will be our tactic for home and away games. We will, once again, get turned over by the big team who simply outplay us. Difference is we need Benteke to start playing like he did last season. I saw glimpses of his old self at Sunderland but he was miles away from his best against Sheff Utd.
