Sadly, you and I seem to be in a minority on this site. People keep saying 'Remember Oldham'. I'd hoped we'd moved on from that mentality, but clearly not. One poster has said today they expect us to lose to Brentford given the form we're in. And what kind of form are Brentford in, having lost FIVE on the trot. Yes, of course it's possible they could beat us, but I'm not expecting us to lose.

BTW I was originally from the heart of West Yorkshire but only because my Army father was stationed there at the time.

Prior to the season I was cautiously optimistic whilst expecting some 'Lumps and bumps' on the journey.

I do however have a sense of unease primarily because of some of the poor goals we concede.We have only kept ONE clean sheet in our last 12 PL games and that was against a struggling Norwich team. A defeat tomorrow and I do feel my brow could be corrugated with worry.

The club has and is going through a huge change in playing style and I for one think PV has done a great job so far. As for relegation, I feel very secure with our progress and with the class of player and good moral we have, just can't see this happening.

In response to OP

...or far from the top half.

I don't think the concerns are that misguided. We've won two league games since beating Wolves on 6th November. Games are settled by fine margins and we've not done much to put ourselves on the right side of those IMO.

If we don't find a couple of results in the next four games then it will inevitably mean that teams below us will be closer and confidence will be eroded. The next couple of weeks are massive IMO.

In terms of home games, not so long ago they only went down to Man C by a narrow margin of 0-1, and beat Steven Gerrard's A.Villa 2-1.

Indeed they have lost their last 6 games, but these included Everton away in Frank Lampard's first game and games against Man C, Liverpool and Man Utd.
