So we had a disappointing draw with Middlesbrough on the weekend and we failed to score and we failed to win. Now I know some of the dedicated fans of the club may not be too impressed by the run and with us being as many points behind the enemy and Chelsea there's concern that our season's hopes are dashed yet again.
I, however, remain rather optimistic about what the Reds can achieve. Lets look again at that fixture list - Sheffield Utd, Chelsea, Bolton, Everton, the enemy, Arsenal and Middlesbrough of which we've accumulated 2 points. Now I'll grant that if we want to be serious contenders 2 from 18 will not be a good place to start. Yet most teams are going to struggle against that lot. Now that we've got those out of the way we can use the others to build some sort of basis to accumulate as many points as possible.
I still believe we have the squad, the system and the manager who can get us on such a run of great results that this race may not be as done and dusted as people are lead to believe. Let's see where we are when we get out the fixtures over the festive season and then we can afford to be gloomy or have reasons to be cheerful.
Shalom
