[/TABLE]
January was an extremely busy month for the team, with 8 games in total including games against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as the start of our FA Cup campaign, a competition we were looking to do well in with no European competitions this season.
However, it was not a very successful month, with just 2 wins out of 8 as we dropped points in the league and went out of the FA Cup in the 4th Round after beating Sunderland in a replay. In the league, a home loss to Manchester United was followed by a draw with Chelsea. A very disappointing loss to QPR meant we needed to win our final couple of games to stay in the hunt for the European spots. We managed to beat Newcastle, but a draw against Aston Villa meant we sit down in 10th.
That is below our expectations and that coupled with our FA cup exit means manager Tony Pulis' job is currently under review.
Hammer of the Month
Stewart Downing has been our player of the month with plenty of strong performances from centre-midfield despite it not being his preferred position. His 7 assists in the league this season shows this.
