Currently, no.
We need a new manager pronto.
Embarrassing he’s still here

What do we think now?
I'm still looking more down the table than I am up it - hopefully that changes in the coming weeks.
7 point gap to 22nd, important we maintain or increase it.

Our position in the table doesn't look great and a few bad losses would drag us right back in it. But (and famous last words and all), I'm currently not worried. Just as much as a few bad losses might drag us back in it, a few good wins would also pull us far clear. I've seen enough positives in the last three games to think we'll be okay. We need to score more goals than we currently do, but I have faith that will come.
And, more importantly, I just think the current bottom three are all a lot worse than us. I was at Sheffield Wednesday vs QPR with a QPR-supporting pal the other week, and it was a truly dire game of football between two very poor sides.
Rotherham are basically as good as down, Wednesday not far behind. That's one spot left for relegation, and I just don't see us being worse than all four of QPR, Huddersfield, Brum and Plymouth over the second half of the season.

Good win for Wednesday tonight at Preston though which is a bit of a surprise result seeing as Preston saw of Leeds a couple of days back. Birmingham on the same points as us but their fans wont be feeling very confident at the moment. |

We are still in the shit, make no mistake about it.
We need to stay injury free because as we've seen tonight, a lot of the fringe players just aren't good enough.
Schumacher has taken on a really tough job as we all knew.
The signs of improvement are there for all to see but we cannot get carried away by one away win at Brum, there's still loads of hard work to do to get us safe.

Right now we look way too good to be in a relegation scrap, but a couple of results going the wrong way and we could be. Still I'm quite optimistic from what I've seen the last games since Shoey took charge!  |

They're still six points from safety with a terrible goal difference, and an owner who doesn't seem likely to put any money in for new signings in January. Birmingham a club who are liable to go either way, but I just don't see them coming good under Rooney at this point. Sacking Eustace for him increasingly feels like a massive repeat of what their board did when they sacked Rowett to hire Zola. |

With a decent keeper signing in January we'll be fine, I predict another table of mediocrity and finishing around 11th

Schuey has given me hope. We could see some bonkers resultswith his swashbuckling style, but some defensive improvements in Jan and I'd feel comfortable. Not only do I feel like we could stay up, but I actually looked forwards to today's match. |

I think we've seen some marked progress in the short time since Schuey took over. Yes we still have some major areas requiring improvement but there is a transfer window days away and I'm feeling more confident he will be able to improve some if not all of those areas. The threat of relegation has certainly decreased IMO and I think Schuey will get us to a comfortable mid-table finish. That's not great but when you consider what he walked into it's definitely going in the right direction. Expectation will be massive next year though.

Sacking Eustace for him increasingly feels like a massive repeat of what their board did when they sacked Rowett to hire Zola. Wednesday look awful but that new manager seems to be getting a tune out of the players with 16 points from 14 games, which is not bad at all. They had a terrible start 3 points from their first 13 games before this new manager. I think Birmingham will sack Rooney and their players should be doing better. |

Got the points right the last 4 so is think that one through Think 60 points is a reasonable target this season It’s certainly not over ambitious. I think it would be acceptable if we scored circa 32 goals in the process. That would show progress to me towards righting something that has been dragging us down. |

And that the last 3 games were above the average points per game the new manager will achieve? Once he’s got his feet firmly under the table and had time to undo some of previous manager’s follies I firmly believe he will start averaging close on two points a game. |

Yes there are - probably six or seven, I'd say.
I don't think relegation is an issue really - so much so, that I'm struggling to think of what changes we should make to the team realistically, apart from getting a left back in.
Playoffs can't be the target surely, so maybe Schumacher will put the team under the microscope until May ahead of more major surgery in the summer.
Would help with FFP too.

If we keep grinding out results as we have been then we should be fine.
The lack of wins is the most concerning thing.

I'd say 5 teams are worse overall but if we can't score, we'll be right there.
