Yep, that's almost automatic promotion form and we've hardly been anywhere near full strength for most of those games.

And that's the crying shame of the season , a fit squad , different outcome, but with square pegs in round holes you really have to take your hat off to this recent run of results
 
The 2 biggest positive differences between this year and last are:

a) we are scoring goals and
b) we are going through an injury crisis and still getting results.

weirdly after the start we had I actually feel more positive than I did this time last year.

long way to go but I'm hopeful

We sold two players for large fees and bought a load of youngsters unproven at this level. Mind boggling how well we've done the last 12 games with this injury ravaged squad.
 
So a shaky sort of win for North End but a win nevertheless and a set of stats that are starting to look very decent in a very open Championship. North End are still 15th after this win but are now in striking distance of the five teams above them and are just 8 points fron the Championship play off positions. We have taken 23 points from the last 12 games which is vitually automatic promotion form and all this with another terrible spate of injuries to key players. Three of our next four games are against teams that are 17th, 18th and 20th in the division. Maybe I am getting a little too giddy in the run up to the festive period but after the last dozen games the North End recovery is in full swing and some additional support from the boardroom in January might just make a season that looked like a Sow`s Ear into one that could be a Silk Purse. It certainly isn`t over yet by a long chalk and Alex Neil and the players deserve great credit for this fightback against all the odds.

Totally agree... and I keep saying it but I'm going to say it again...we went on this run from being bottom of the league with 5 pioints...unbelievable!
 
But he had lost the dressing room and his tactics were outdated a couple of months ago? He's obviously won back the dressing room and modernised his tactics. Obviously listened to the experts on here.

It’s called good management. AN has won promotion from this level in the past, and he’s still only 37. This is why he must be backed a bit more because he is capabale of getting us challenging at this level.

when does a injury ravaged squad become a competitive championship squad?,the "large fees" have been put to good use.
