It's funny reading posts from 3 months ago and now. What a difference some astute signings can make but most importantly a manager who isn't clueless. I feel stupid now for having doubted Eddie & Co.. Onwards and Upwards from now on

I changed my vote from a 9 to a 4. 3 wins and 3 draws is a realistic haul from 12 games and I think that we will achieve this given our current form. My only worry is that our easiest fixtures left are all away: Everton, Norwich and Burnley.

I think it was brilliant man management to stick with the same CB pairing and midfield. Most managers would've chosen the easy route and just put all the new signings in the starting 11. I think that he knows that we need quality in key areas but we also need some of the old guys to up their game if we want to stay up.

We need a Lingard type player or another pacy striker. Etikite is a waste of money given our position.

Can't blame him for the awful squad he inherited but he hasn't managed to work on our weaknesses.

Haven't heard of any links to Real Madrid players like Bale, Jovic, Isco or Mariano Diaz in recent weeks? ?

I thought that we looked good in patches with some good movement and give and goes however our weaknesses far outweigh our strengths. We tried to play from the back but with our poor passing we gave the ball away in dangerous areas. Our defence too was all over the place in the 2nd half. If we are to survive, Eddie will definitely have to sort the defence out and find a proper balance of attacking vs defending. We'll also need ASM and Willock to find their form and finishing of last season.

I know that I'm being pessimistic but I think it will also depend how other teams in the relegation battle perform. I'm also a bit worried about our squad depth. We'll need ASM, Wilson & Dubravka to remain fit until the end of the season or maybe until we strengthen in January.

Still on a 9. I am more relaxed after the 3 points and especially the cleansheet. Our football wasn't great at times but we created enough chances to win a game and were resolute in defence. We have 4 tough fixtures coming next. If we manage 4 to 6 points then I might move from a 9 to a 7.

Voted 9 and that we'll be relegated. We've already played all the promoted teams and we haven't managed to beat any of them. I'm also not seeing any spirit or urgency from the players. I know that we shouldn't be panicking yet but we need to show more grit and resolve. Unless we can sign a few players in January and who can have the same impact as Willock had last season, we'll sleepwalk to relegation.
