Congratulations to Dave Jones and the players for their efforts over the last few weeks.

After the desperate defeat at Charlton that forced the board into making an announcement on Dave Jones' future City have gone from a team joint level on points with the relegation places to a team just three points behing the play off places.

In the 11 games played since then City have picked up 21 points, W6, D3 and lost just twice, and climbed 9 places up the table.

A quirky fact for you. In August City won just one game, same in September, October and November. So four wins in 4 months, well the team matched that in December alone with 4 victories and it could have been 5 but for the last minute goal conceded at Watford.

We go into the FA Cup break with 5 wins in the last 7 league games.

Something to cheer at last.

Happy New Year.
