Every chance. Great squad. No weakness. Wilder will deliver folks.
 



No reason why not with the current squad. I've come round somewhat post-Brooks as we've got adequate replacements for once in our history in addition to getting rid of some deadwood. I put us down for 4th at the start and that looks like a minimum now if we keep this up.

We just need to show a bit more savvy when it's backs to the wall, e.g. vs Bristol City last season when we went for broke when down to 10 men. It wasn't just the loss of a certain point but the gifting of 3 points to the opposition which could have an effect in the final shake up.
 
If we don't it will be shoes off in the car park.
 
IMO no there are teams with better quality than us and we will miss out. I wish i'm proved wrong though
 



It might be our best chance.

If we don't, what happens to Fleck and O'Connell?
I'd say we are somewhere between 5th and 14th, dependant on form and injury.

There's a chance we could but it's be through the play offs and we know how well we do there.

It's not just our better, younger players leaving. It's the continual decline (perhaps not in performance but definitely in ability to stay fit and do 90 minutes) of our older players.

Could be time to gamble a little in Jan if we are up there
 
I've got my birthday Xmas and 2 half marathons before the season ends. Do I have to think about this.

My motto in life: It'll be what it'll be.
 
I thought last season was our best chance and a massive missed opportunity.

This season is indeed our best chance and I predict that if we fail to go up, next season will be our best chance.

One things for certain, this year’s league is the weakest it has been for some time. Next years will be much harder.

Agree there are several clubs with a higher quality collection of individuals as us but it’s looking like Wilder has found the formula to make us easily one of the best teams in this league.

Villa have better individuals than us but on Saturday we outclassed them and if we played them 10 times we’d win 6 or 7 because currently we are a better TEAM than Aston Villa. Of course I expect Villa to improve.

I think we have a great chance of reaching the playoffs, then it’s anybodies.

Still doubt we’ll be promoted but we do have a realistic chance playing of achieving it with the added bonus of playing attractive football.

I'd also factor Wilder into it. He's into his 3rd year with us now, and this could be the peak time for him. It's rare now that you see managers remain fully effective at a club over a longer period of time. Although the likes of Dyche and Howe offer hope. I also wouldn't put it past him to leave when if he's not backed adequately.

I have it on good authority that Fleck is on holiday with Steven Gerrard this week....
 
Far too early to say
In January we could lose Fleck as easy as anything, and maybe Norwood as well even though he's only been here two minutes.

Coutts regaining fitness would give our boardroom all the excuses they'd need to sell
 



we wont go up with that forward line. They will tire towards the end of the season.
