Glass Half Full - With the Cherries having to play two games more compacting their run in and having to meet Boro Forest and Fulham it could (not saying will) leave us just 5 points behind from our current positions. Therefore meeting them at home could reduce that deficit to 2 points.
2nd is then doable based on their squeezed schedule.
If we go up we may be able to tempt Gibbs White to stay and afford a replacement for Berge or maybe even keep him. We will have a more confident Brewster and maybe money for a replacement for Mousett.
Glass half empty - Even if this happens it would probably benefit Forest more than us and they will capitalise, particularly based on our ravaged squad. If we still had all the strikers fit and players playing in position then maybe we would have had a chance. Forest seem to have the momentum and the fit squad at the moment.
I worry about next season if we don't go up - No Gibbs White or Berge, where does the creativity or drives from midfield come from? Illiman is great but not as match savvy as Gibbs White I'm not sure what West Brom will be like and the three relegated clubs with parachute payments, so feel we could become the next "Stoke" very quickly.

So for me what will be, will be. I will turn up next season and watch and hopefully enjoy whatever team we field in whatever division. We will still have Wes, Bogle, Brewster, Sharp, Didzy, Jebbo, Illiman, Fleck, Osborn with Lapata coming through along with Seriki, Gordon and more from the Academy coming through if we stay in the championship. So somewhere between empty and full. Its not that empty if we don't get promotion and we are unlikely to end up in the top half of the Prem this time so not glass too full if we go up.
