The Stats that Prove Parkinson is doing just fine for now

Games 1-12:
L D D L L L L L L L L W

Games 13-25:
D D D W D D L W L L W L W

With continued improvement our January fixtures don't seem too daunting:
Hull City (H)
Brentford (A)
Ipswich Town (H)
Cardiff City (A)

If we beat HULL we will be out of the bottom three tomorrow.

Sadly probably another draw at best.

The stats for the second half of the season do indeed show we're currently doing well overall but we were so far behind after 11 games, it's taken a great set of results just to get us back from oblivion. At this stage of the season, all the teams at the bottom seem capable of picking up points so get out of the mire, this form has to continue right to the end.
Consistency hasn't been our most obvious trait and I often think that after a good win, complacency tends to set in so I'm worried about the Hull game, but at least we're in the mix which I don't think any of us would have imagined after 11 games and 2 points. 
I'm wondering if Parky will stick to 352 for the home game.

I think the formation for tomorrow will very much depend on injuries, if everyone is back then I expect the usual formation.  If not then I guess we’d try the same as the last match

Ameobi has broken a nail.

Do you have the name of the hospital so we can send him a get well card?

He's in The Beaumont.

It's been a good week for Parky. First he changed the system and players for the Sheff U game and we scraped a win and then he changed it again for the Hull match. He's shown he can mix it up a bit and get the performances needed to grind out the results.

Three tough games coming up in January: Brentford away, Ipswich at home and then Cardiff away so he'd going to have to show a bit more to keep us out of the bottom three. We'll see.
