I can us getting out of relegation by the end of January. With our fixtures, form and most importantly having the Transfer window.
With our run of games coming up... it seems we are meeting teams this month with bad form and we are playing teams around us next month.
So i predict us getting 4 out of 9 points in December and 7 or 9 out of 12 in January.
December Fixtures
H Sheffield United
A QPR
A Middlesbrough
January Fixtures
H Millwall
H Rotherham
A Blackburn
A Aston Villa
There are lots of capable points.

We will be lucky to get 1 point out of those December fixtures. January on the other hand I can see us winning our home games and getting a point at either Blackburn or Villa. |  | | |

Agreed......5 points.
More than happy to be proved as wrong as possible. [Post edited 17 Dec 2018 9:16]

Let's not get carried away. We scraped a rather fortuitous 1-0 win over a poor Wigan side but we still looked pretty terrible ourselves for most of the game and unless performances improve we're going to struggle to pick up further wins. Hopefully the win will give us a bit of confidence, we've played better than the Wigan game under Lambert so it's not inconceivable that performances pick up but we just don't know yet. 4 points from December is optimistic and there won't be any new bodies in for the Millwall game. If we get out of it then I suspect it's going to be later than January and probably by the skin of our teeth. |  |

Christ alive can people calm down a little.
We've won 2 all season, and around 4 in 32. |  | | |

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s nearly Christmas and we’ve just won our 2nd game of the season! If we’re out of it by May I’ll be delighted. |  | | |

Hope we are out of it by May as Blades away and Leeds at home for be on Sky..
On the subject of Sky with mid week games bring on the red button is that likely to include boxing day fixtures? |  |

Same here, would be thrilled if we pick up another win between now and January, can see us picking up a bit in January if we get reinforcements in early. | | | |

I can see us getting maybe 7 or 8 points out of all that lot, but with the form of the teams above Town, it could see us at least caught up by the end of January, probably off the bottom of the table, too. |  |

I have a fairly strong sense that we will eventually get out of it, but nowhere near as soon as you suggest. Anything we get from the next three games is, realistically, fairly unexpected so that will pin a lot on Millwall/Rotherham. That double-header may turn out in the long run to be pretty decisive and if we can do the required job it would be an enormous boost. [Post edited 17 Dec 2018 9:50]

Tho Preston have shown already what putting together an unbeaten run (with a couple of wins) can achieve - bottom at the end of September to safety by the time they played us a month later. Hull similarly from mid October onwards (even overcoming a couple of defeats in there).
Extra confidence has probably a more significant impact in avoiding defeat than in getting victory (which requires technical ability as well). Self belief leads to tough defending. [Post edited 17 Dec 2018 10:01]

True, but as yet we aren't on a run and in truth don't really look capable of one. That said, though, getting that win under our belt could be transformative and if we could pick something up against the scum of the north this weekend it might act as a springboard to close the gap quickly. Poor as we were for much of Saturday I don't think we're a million miles away from being decent. We badly need a proper presence up front but even adding just that would make a huge difference. Another wide option would be nice too, either an attacking full back or a winger. | |

Found it odd Harrison not even involved at the weekend - he's surely just a better natural option than Roberts there and would be a great foil to get on the end of Roberts playing out wide and swinging those crosses in as he does so well.
I don't see us getting any points out of those December games to be honest, but can see us coming close in the January games - except Villa who will likely tear us to pieces. |  |

Those are, for me, the two crucial signings in January.
I'm not convinced we can beat Sheff U yet, but perhaps manage a draw. Plus Boro are staggering a bit at the moment, possibly snatch a point there, too, to set us up nicely for Millwall at home. That could well be erring on the optimistic side, but not totally unrealistic given defeats under Lambert have only come against three of currently the strongest sides in the division, plus the error-stricken Bristol game.

Harrison may have fallen victim to the bug which was going around the squad. Plus he is still only just coming back from injury. | |

Bristol City was the real sickened, we didn't really deserve to lose that game. They were pretty awful and we somehow contrived to gift them three really poor goals. Had we defended remotely competently we'd only be 2 points off safety right now and feeling pretty confident about staying up. Fine margins. Like you, I think a point on Saturday is achievable and would be a decent result. I'm less confident we can get anything at QPR or Boro, neither are happy hunting grounds for us and I think they have a bit too much for us. | |

Yeah, that's what i assumed. Otherwise you'd think he'd get twenty minutes to help step up the recovery. | |

I remember the Boro away game in April 2016 when we fought tooth-and-nail against a much superior side to a 0 - 0 draw. | |

We wasn't favourites against Wigan. We was 3.40 at home. I cant recall Wigans but mid 2's i would thought given our form.
Winning breeds confidence and our form has been good but results have been poor.
Now we have won i think we will carry that momentum forward | |

Another thing which I can see being different to the aftermath of Swansea is that I doubt Lambert will make significant changes to the team for the following match, given his consistency of selection so far. | |

agreed, I can't see us making many changes unless injury or illness forces our hand. | | | |

Lambert likes continuity. Surely he wont change a winning side unless his hand is forced. | |

Form?
We were the best of two very poor sides on Saturday and got lucky with a deflected goal. Not complaining about that at all because any points we get, however we get them, are vital at this time but I wouldnt be drawing any conclusions regarding form from that!
We are right in it and in the event we do manage to survive it will go right to the wire. |  | | |
