Neil Taylor accepts that the team were below par against Millwall this weekend but stressed that we still have plenty of momentum heading into the unrepentant winter period.
Taylor insists Steve Bruce’s men are in a good position in the table as they look to really kick on through Christmas and into the New Year.
He told Club TV: “You have to stay in the mix, especially through December now.
“We have to make sure we stay up there in that top six and obviously look to then push on as the season continues.
“We are a team that are constantly looking to climb the league.
“We are not in a bad position. We are in the right position now to push on and kick on as the season goes on.
“As long as you keep picking up points along the way, it keeps you in the mix.”
On the weekend goalless draw, the left-back added: “I think a point was a fair result, if we’re honest.
“We weren’t at our best. In the main, we have done well this season at home.
“But this weekend, we were below par and also up against a Millwall side who were very competitive, up-and-at-it.
“They will obviously be disappointed not to score. We had some opportunities to score too so probably a draw was about right and a fair result.
“It wasn’t an easy game whatsoever. The lads would be the first to admit that.
“We were below par. We know we need to be better than that going-forward. But on the flip side, it’s a clean sheet, it’s a point and it’s a point towards where we want to go.”
