Have we turned the corner?

I think we are very much in trouble other clubs around us have all strengthened while we have made two signing who have it all to prove. Fit and motivated they are both excellent, but Kayal has never really been the same at Celtic since his injuries and Best has not really shown anything in recent years.
If we do nothing else and these two don't step up to the plate I feel the gamble of waiting till the summer could seriously backfire. I don't get letting Colunga go without a replacement, Best and COG are very similar and both will need wingers to create for them. We currently have one coming back from injury. That cannot be allowed to go without strengthening until the end of the season surely?

Ok we beat Charlton..I was there ...they were/are in freefall and we were marginally better...Win scraped...Against Ipswich we were a changed team..best performance of season..Arsenal too after first twenty matched them....Could it continue ? It seems not ...Feb six league games..Crucial...Critical..Contrary to optimistic view of some..We are not playoff material...We are in relegation battle but I do feel we should be OK..but only just. Call me pessimist if you like but I consider myself realist..

9 out of 15 points in Jan, better than any month under Sami, yes we have. If our home form return to anything respectable we're be fine

So we conceded today to a set piece ( from a free kick ) !
The BBC stats for the game say fouls against 6 and fouls conceded 17. Perhaps if we didn't concede so many fouls we wouldn't have to defend so many set pieces resulting in goals against. ( I appreciate that not every foul conceded results in a potenial scoring set piece )
Sadly, this is one statistic that does not seem to improve so one particular corner which has not yet been recognised never mind 'turned' !

Not seen such Bravery!
I'm certain that if we win at Millwall on St Patrick's Day ( a most happy anniversary ), we'll stay up. 
Not yet but live in hope with players coming back.

I agree that we'll be fine. Today was a freak result in relation to how the team has been playing since SH resigned.

I went to that game at coventry & it was awful but 2 days later we beat SCS 3.1 so let's hope history repeats its self against forest next week
I'm still worried that the upturn that we have seen has simply been the "dead cat bounce", where even a struggling team gets a short term benefit from a change in management before settling back into bad habits. Having been at the Ipswich match last week it's hard to imagine that that team could get relegated but the teams around us have started making their move and our transfer activity hasn't been brimming with ambition.
I'm not even sure we have reached the corner yet, let alone turned it. Unfortunately our season is being defined by a prolonged wade in the brown stuff.

Slightly misleading as one of those defeats was against Arsenal. Hughton's league record is two wins and two defeats, which over the last four games is the same as Bournemouth (top), better than Ipswich (4th) and the same as Watford (6th). Yes losing away at Blackpool is disappointing but we have definitely turned a corner.

Still no width, still shit in the middle of the pitch with JFC. Can't wait to have KLL back, hope the new guy is good

Shouldn't include the Arsenal game in any stats - and Brentford at home we deserved something. Yes we were poor yesterday but we've def turned a corner and improved. I'm certain we will stay up - got a lot quality in this squad and finally a decent and knowledgable gaffer!

We are in a relegation scrap, will be days like this but we are going in the right direction

Bookies make us outsiders of the main protagonists, which is something I suppose.
