It’s time once again to review this season’s Premiership performance against last year, the next one will be at the half way stage if you can believe we’re already heading there!

In summary, we’re a point behind last season chronologically, but a point ahead comparing apples with apples.

December is going to be a tough month. We took 11 points from the next 5 fixtures last year chronologically and 10 points apples for apples. That’s Hull (H), Man Utd (A), Sunderland (A), Stoke (H) and Arsenal (A) and 15 points to play for by the way. Yeah, it’s going to be a tough month.
