The prospect of a Man City relegation could be our saviour. Saints gone, Leicester points deduction incoming. We're battling it out with Wolves/Everton/Palace for 17th.

Very much dependent on Injuries and how quick any January signings get up to speed, IMO.
I think we would be a more than a couple of points better off already if we hadn't had so many injuries. Losing Tuanzebe (twice) and Hirst really has hurt us.
I'm going to be positive however and say yes.

Yes, definitely. We are still growing and improving and our manager is still learning as well. I am very proud of how we have handled ourselves and I think we'll find as time goes on that the Chelsea game was seminal.

Leicester are going to be deducted points? Thought that was all resolved prior to the start of the season?

Suspect Leicester and Man City will both escape relatively unpunished. Such is the way of things. Can't be relying on these backdoor routes to survival, it's play our way out of it or bust.
The Chelsea result proves we can beat the very best in this division. We should draw a lot of confidence from that. I'm very optimistic, but we still have to actually win games, right?
I think the Fulham game is the perfect barometer of where we're at. Since our first encounter, we've acclimated to the PL, our new players have bedded-in...can we upgrade the draw to a win? Exciting next fixture.

Big story on the Guardian today suggesting they will fall foul of PSR again. They lost an unholy amount of cash last season. I don't think people realise quite how screwed they are financially (few years of disastrous recruitment + insane wages).

I'm honestly on the fence a little. We've given ourselves a good chance, and the one thing you never do is wrote off this team under McKenna, but I do think we need a little extra quality to come in the door this month.
I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun.
I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.
A week ago I would have said a resounding no. Now I am saying a a tentative yes. 2 weeks time it might be no again. I am flip flopping from result to result. I do fear that Wolves and Everton etc will have a little bit to much nous to avoid the bottom 3.

The three at the back has made us look much more solid. We just need a bit more going forward without relying on Delap to freight train his way through everything.

Maybe?

TBH, I think the fact that the correct answer is still "Maybe" is a positive thing.
A few times this season that might have slipped away from us, after West Ham and Everton and again after Forest, Palace & Bournemouth. We're probably 3 or 4 points behind where we should be based on performances but two wins from the last four matches balances that out a bit.
As you say, we have a a chance with McK and one thing about each of the last two seasons is that we've got better in the second half of them, not as aesthetically pleasing necessarily but more effective and resolute. To stay up we will need to do the same again.
Sadly not if you look at last seasons table Everton and Palace likely to do better and promoted teams continued to fare poorly. Great that at the half way stage we have a chance but we need a real implosion from Wolves/Palace or Everton to stand any chance whatsoever. That said if we can pull something out of the hat in January who knows.

Last season Everton had 26 points at this stage and picked up 22 in the second half so I am not sure it does back up them improving. Currently they are on 17 so 22 would give them 39 points but a drop-off from 18 could see them in trouble. Wolves are a point ahead of us so it would only need an implosion from them if we imploded from our current form too!

I may be wrong but didn't Everton have a points deduction which they don't this year?

I said somewhere in here months ago, if we could scrape about 15 points from the first half of the season, we would get more than that in the second half.
This was based upon being us being a bit starry eyed to begin with at being in the Prem, being a bit naive, and summer signings taking time to bed in.
Somewhere around 20-25 points in the second half of the season will see us safe.

I don't think we need to implode...or explode. Just some steady improvement and focus on our own performances rather than look over our shoulders at what others are doing all the time. Occasionally, yes, but not all the time.
I voted yes. It’s possible but we need to do better against the teams around us in the second half. The draws against Southampton and Leicester and the defeats at home to Everton and Palace have made life more difficult.
