14pts away from autos, 11 pts away from play-offs.

Wouldn't it be ironic of we scraped into 6th and then won promotion by winning play off final. Normally we finish 3rd in league but dont get through in play offs. And last season we were 14 points ahead of Sunderland in 4th and 22 points ahead of Brizzle in 6th).

that has to be our aim and the last 5 games have given us a chance of achieving that its a very average league this season and a long way to go wilders suggestion of a rb and midfielder to come in leads me to think we will be back in for choudray in january he can cover both positions
 
Since Wilder rejoined we are a point off 6th in the table

Unfortunately there was 6 games before that that's hurt us.

... And in true blades fashion, we balls it up. We can bleat on about injuries and suspensions but emd of the day a point from 2 games against average/poor opposition is not good enough. We were on a bit of a roll.and had good momentum

It's difficult to see us making the play offs after the previous 2 games. It's the championship though and things can change quickly.

I think it was fair to "bleat on" about injuries against Norwich when we had 8 changes to the team that smashed Stoke.

However, the result about against West Brom was poor and Wilder hasn't used it as an excuse so we shouldn't either.

yes we did didnt we but fancy us to get back on track by beating birmingham this saturday however still think our chances of making top 6 depends on the january transfer window 4 good loan signings and think we would have a decent chance of getting in there

He's an OK RB and poor midfielder, who's on more money than his ability deserves.
Unless we can get a substantial reduction on his wages, I'd pass on him.

Norwich also had major injury problems

i disagree choudray had plenty of good games in midfield and right back the home win against coventry he was brilliant in midfield having said that our apparent interest in rothwell may scupper any deal for choudray
 



Since our upturn in form (game 15 onward), we are top of the league on form, with the goals scored, conceded, and GD also looking healthy, which is a stark contrast to last season when the consensus was that our wins were nearly draws, and the draws nearly losses.

We've also had some 'poor' results during this recent run, which perhaps adds some reality to the trend and helps us see whether we really are on a run to the playoffs, or auto promotion?

Since game 15, we have improved from 19 points off 2nd to 16 points. That's an improvement of 3 points in 7 games, or 0.43 PPG gain. With 24 games left, that's a forecast total gain of another 10.3 points, which is not enough. So if we think this run is both good, sustainable, and worthy of a forecast, we will be around 6 points off automatics.

After game 15, we were 15 points off the playoff positions (6th), but today sit 9 points away. A 7 point gain over the 7 games is obviously 1PPG improvement. With 24 games remaining, we will easily get into the playoffs on current form, probably with a home playoff spot. Perhaps ucandomagic may be able to give greater detail on a specific playoff position prediction, because, after all, he can do magic.

Agree - to get into serious consideration about automatics, I think we’d need to now win 8-10 games on the spin and be moving into February on the fringes of the playoffs.
 
We missed the chance to get in the mix with that midtable pack of teams by losing at West Brom. We’re still in a position where we need to cut the amount of teams between us and the top 6 before we can be considered serious playoff contenders.

I still think a midtable finish of 10-14 is likely for us this season. I just can’t see us having the consistency required to worry the top 6.

Top of the form league table including the WBA defeat, if we continue that for another ten matches we’ll move up the league and be on the fringes of the top 6.

I would take 10th-14th now to be fair, if we want to go up we need too much investment risk, the only advantage would be for more parachute payments. But if we fluked play offs and fluked winning them, it would be a miserable season next season. After match game 6 on here there were quite a few not only writing off promotion but also saying relegation certs.

If we’re still in the Championship next season then I can only see us treading water for the foreseeable future. So give me a flukey promotion now.

The major problem we have is investment, in both infrastructure and playing squad. We can keep yo-yoing but every PL season will be trying not to beat Derby’s record or set any new ones. If Leeds manage to establish themselves within the Premier League we can’t even class ourselves as the best team in Yorkshire. The funding gap gets bigger year on year, although unsure if the current bottom 3 will be the bottom 3 come May, there are some big hitters coming down again either way

And so getting up no matter how is important
 
17 points from the last 10. Carry that ppg on for the rest of the season and it's 67 points. That would be a fantastic achievement for this squad and given the start.

I think that's the best case scenario though
