Suppose you can look at our current form two ways. Half full, apart from City games we're 10 points from 6 games and unbeaten. Half empty, you can say we've blown a big chance to pick up more points with "winnable" games.
Could 2 wins, 6 draws (from 12 games) be enough? That gets us to 37 points (with you'd hope a better goal difference than our rivals). That looks do-able.
