Whilst we are sat in 4th at the moiment, if we do not achieve that at the end of the season the reason for me won't be the signings or non-signings made in Jan, it will be the dropped points prior to that against Stoke, Everton, Hull, Wolves and Birmingham.
It's a shame as they were very winable games, but that's football and I suspect that our inability to get the job done in those fixtures suggests that we are not yet ready for CL football. Signing some extra quality would change that fact but would not allow us to go back and attain those "easy" points we have thrown away.
Mike, I agree that does not read very good. However, our 3 competitors for 4th are doing no better.
Villa have dropped points against - Wigan, Blackburn, Wolves, Sunderland, Everton, West Ham (X2) and Burnley.
Liverpool - Sunderland, Birmingham, Blackburn, Portsmouth, Stoke and Wolves.
Man City - Wigan, Fulham, Birmingham, Burnley, Hull and Bolton.
