3W2D1L and we are still in 6th place, but only 3 points behind 4th place team with 1 game in hand. The month started badly with a defeat away at Fulham. After that we responded well with 2 consecutive victories. Unfortunately the problem of scoring was haunting us, with two consecutive draws going into the festive season. Fortunately we responded well and we ended the year with a convincing victory vs Newcastle.
Players of the month: (1) Suarez 7.27 (2) Skrtel 7.25 (3) Reina/Agger/Enrique 7.08. Suarez had done everything except for scoring. Skrtel had been a rock at the defense and also scored 1 and created another during the month. And Reina/Agger/Enrique also did very well in the defense with 3 clean sheets kept in the month. And once again, Bellamy had been superb with 3 goals and an assist despite not getting enough minutes.
January prediction:
1/3 Manchester City (a) A tough start to the new year and we need to be careful.
1/6 Oldham Athletic (h) We need to try very hard in the FA Cup and go to Wembley again.
1/11 Manchester City (a) League Cup semi and we have City again.
1/14 Stoke City (h) We were unlucky to lose at Stoke so it is time for us to get one back.
1/21 Bolton Wanderers (a) Bolton is at bottom but we still need to perform well to avoid another disappointment.
1/25 Manchester City (h) A win and we can go to Wembley.
1/28 FA Cup 4th Round Proper (tba) Whoever our opponent will be, we will be ready for the challenge.
1/31 Wolverhampton (a) Wolves have some revival recently so we need to be very careful.
