Thing is, there are another 32 games to play, so we can easily get near the top 6 :bluescarf:

Doesn't really work like that unfortunately, we've just gained 7 points from 3 games and only just edged out of the play offs.

Someone put on here last week if we win were 6 points off the play offs, I'm not sure weather it was a bit tounge in cheek.

Long way to go - Stay unbeaten for a few more games - and get up that table ;)

It was a bit tongue in cheek mate although had we beaten Wednesday, we'd be 6 points away from being on the same points as the bottom playoff team (we have terrible goal difference) ;-)

If we can keep going with an average of two points per game then we will shoot up the table by January. It's a big ask though with Huddersfield, Villa and Newcastle coming up.

Saying that, there is more pressure on those three teams to beat us that us to beat them. I'd be happy with three points from these three games but if we beat Huddersfield and snatch a draw at Villa, 4 from 9 would be a respectable return.

But, I'm a blind optimist at the moment.

It is very unlikely, the next few games including Newcastle, Villa and Huddersfield are as tough as it gets.

If we get any more than 3 points out of those 3 games then I for one will start to look at those play-off places !!
