Clearly, Norwich City has had a significant upturn in fortunes during the last few Premier League games. This has included home wins against Arsenal, Stoke, and credible away draws against Aston Villa, Reading. Taking those eight points from a possible 12 has been a cause of major relief in Norfolk. Fans are starting to see that Chris Hughton is establishing his team on a very solid base. After heavy defeats to Fulham, Liverpool and Chelsea earlier in the season, the team now has three clean sheets from their last four games. The only slight concern is the fact that the team has only scored three goals in that run of fixtures mentioned in the last four league games. Hughton seems convinced that any one of the current struggling teams are capable to hitting such a run of form. Although, this might be mind games on his part to see if the current bottom three teams or so have much Norwich City about them. I personally don't think that they do, particularly Queens Park Rangers, Reading and Southampton. It's a bit harder to analyze the problems Sunderland and Aston Villa have, and Wigan will be pleased enough with the start of the season. Nevertheless, it would be a surprise if all seven of those teams weren't involved in the relegation shake-up at the end of the season. Norwich City's main goal has to be to finish on top of that mini-league and any other team that is dragged into it. Predictions are always a little bit difficult because of the looming presence of the January transfer window. It is made even harder by the fact that all three of the current teams in the relegation zone have wealthy enough backing to consider an influx of players. What I will say is that neither of the strugglers look capable of surviving under their current squad and formula. It may be true to say that their problems are all slightly different, but the lack of league wins is a common problem, especially seeing as they have so far managed just one between them. Thinking back to last season, it is clearly that it was the promotion momentum that played a crucial part in keeping the Canaries in the Premier League. I think it's fair to say that a lot of that momentum has now dissipated from the team. However, I would add that the spirit is still alive and well, which has been shown in the team's last four league games. Nevertheless, spirit aside, I think it will be the Premier League quality in the side that serves to keep the team in the top-flight this time. Players like John Ruddy, Sebastien Bassong, Javier Garrido, Alexander Tettey, Wes Hoolahan and Grant Holt will play a vital part. I like Reading a lot and have a huge amount of respect for Brian McDermott, who I rate as one of the very best coaches in the game today. However, he faces a very tough task to keep his side in the Premier League. A slow start to a league campaign may not be a new experience for his club, but recovering in the Premier League is far harder than in the Championship. And he will know that the longer he goes on without a league win, the harder the job will get. Judging by some of the comments that the Reading players are making, there appears to be plenty of confidence in the team. Before the home game against Norwich, they were spouting about the need to secure a home win. Of course, the game itself finished 0-0, but that doesn't seem to have changed much because since the game they have been talking about how they deserved to win. Speaking with my yellow and green hat on, I might claim that it was the Canaries that deserved all three points. But I'm honest enough to admit that this was a dire game that neither side deserved to, or showed enough ambition to win. Therefore, I would worry that the Reading players might be a little bit complacent about their position and believe their ability to turn it around. Of course, this is, arguably, better than the attitude that suggests that they are doomed no matter what they do. However, you can only go along with the ultra-positive outlook for so long. I think at some point; the club has to pick up points, rather than just saying that they deserve to. I see that their goalkeeper, Adam Federici, is reluctant to see an influx of new players in the January transfer window that could destroy team spirit. In most cases, I agree with such a statement, but I think in Reading's case they don't have a lot of choice. Any momentum they had from the Championship seems to have quickly disappeared, and they need to start picking up wins sooner rather than later. What they really need is some true Premier League quality, but they should tread carefully because QPR have proved that top-flight quality is no guarantee of success. Although, I do think it is the quality in the Norwich squad that will separate them from the bottom pack. I have great respect for whatever our manager, Chris Hughton, has to say, but I simply don't agree that the Canaries are the same as everyone else. I think there are some special qualities within the camp that other clubs don't have. The January transfer window will certainly offer an opportunity for the Premier League strugglers, but I would rather have the points on the board than the money in the bank. The upcoming transfer window seldom offers values for money, and it's very difficult to integrate new players into the team so quickly. Therefore, I feel the current bottom three have their work cut out to save them. In any case, I'm confident Chris Hughton's will keep Norwich in the top-flight, even if he can't personally add to his squad in January.
