My opinion is yes, just. We have a very, very tough group of fixtures coming up but after that I think we will go on a good run like earlier on in the season. We are always the better team in games and a great run is hopefully inevitable.

As for the opposition. Cardiff and Bristol City are hopefully beginning to drop off. One of them will drop out of the playoffs- most likely Cardiff. Boro will get in as will Villa. Leeds will massively miss saiz in the next 6 games and even with him I don’t think they have enough. Besides, they always fall apart. Preston are a good side but I think they are a consistent goal scorer (ala Clarke, Bonatini) away from getting in. Fulham and Brentford aren’t good enough at the back.

I think we’ll finish 6th, which if we do is a massive achievement. Wilder deserves a knighthood if he can get us in the playoffs especially after last seasons great work. Let’s batter these pigs on Fri and move back into the playoffs where we will hopefully stay! UTB!

Hope not, 2nd still on, 1st less likely unless Wolves have a complete fuck up

Whilst 2nd is still on, and there’s nothing in this division that should worry us, I feel that the likes of Boro and Villa will be too strong when they eventually begin motoring. Which they will. Boro were battered at Preston at the weekend apparently and won luckily from being behind. I fear that may turn their season especially with Pulis playing his dire but ultimately effective hoofball.
 
I'm hoping for us to be reinvigorated with some new bodies in and injuries coming back, so yeah.

Brooksy back in Feb to give us a lift, Freeman soon after, Ched needs to prove himself when he's back playing so will really be going for it, and Couttsy back in April for the final push.

There is a lot of inconsistency, ourselves included, however, I think if we put a decent run together we can capitalise. Derby, very much in form were distinctly average. Villa, got a quick lead, but didn't exactly close the shop and made some big errors.

Boro, yeah you could be right, but I think we have just as much as they have

We still have every chance, along with Cardiff, Villa, Leeds, Boro, Derby, Brizzel, Fulham, Brentford. It will be an exciting end of season.

If you are including Brentford and Fulham then I’d probably include Preston in that bracket too.
 
I’m quite confident, think we have a 66% chance of reaching the playoffs.
Auto promotion I’m not so confident, I’d give us a 10% chance of finishing 2nd.

However the good news is it wouldn’t surprise me if Wilder ended our Wembley hoodoo and won the playoff final.

I would love to see us finally win a game at Wembley, but I dont think my nerves could take the stress!

That would be right, 9 teams looking for the other 5 places.

Wouldn’t surprise me if either Brentford or PNE did nick a place tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brizzle,Cardiff and Leeds all slipped out. Watched us play all of them and nothing in them worried me at all. Especially Cardiff, watched them play on TV a few times and they are very poor really. Seem to be in a false position.

Other fans would say the same about us, bubble burst etc.....With all the new signings at each club in January, some teams will improve, some will fall away. Hard to tell how it all will pan out.

I get what your saying, and do agree with you. However, having watched us play an awful lot we don’t ever seem to be the worse side. I’ve watched Cardiff and Leeds play probably 4/5 times each and they don’t seem to teams that are going to carry on getting lucky because they aren’t earning that luck. Us on the other hand, are due some and it will come.
 
Don't care as long as were top 10.

I have booked a hotel for the three of us near Wembley in anticipation, will still go to the PO final if we don't get there.
 
With the new signings and putting together a good run I think 2nd place could still be within our grasp, other wise play offs
 



Unfortunately (and there's no real reason to be negative), I think we'll miss out by a point, or worse the odd goal
