A long ways to go but a start

Back-to-back home wins against clubs that are also at the bottom of the table is a huge step in the right direction when it comes to staying up this season. You absolutely have to beat the teams you are expected too and points you can collect from teams at the top is just icing on the cake.

The next match against Newcastle might be even more important because now that they are out of the bottom they need to start putting a gap between them and 18th spot. On Sunday the team could find themselves 4 points above 18th and they have to confidence to do so after grabbing 7 points from the last three matches.
