Well, it's going to be incredibly tough, regardless of what happens in the JTW.
Derby (A)
Ipswich (A)
Wednesday (H)
Norwich (A)
Villa (H)
Wolves (A)
Leeds (H)
Reading (A)
QPR (H)
Hull (A)
A lot of tough games to play. Given the noises coming out of BL, we're unlikely to have a great transfer window. And whoever we bring in will likely take a few games to adjust to how we play.
Realistically, the best I think we can hope for is to be within sight of the play-offs come March and then push on.
After Coutts got injured I thought that was our chance of promotion gone. I predicted 14th at the start of the season and I think we'll do incredibly well to finish top 10. Many of us (including myself) got a bit carried away, but I think we need to accept that top half will be a very good season.
The important thing for me is that we need to keep building. Use the loan market well, but if we have the chance to bring in players in, at a reasonable cost, who will improve us in the next few seasons, we need to take them. Just bringing in loanees is not the way to build.
