    Is it out of our reach? I'd say "just", especially with Wigan and Burton not looking like blowing up. Had we beaten Wigan at Oakwell in December it would be a different story.....

    I'd say just too but IF we do make the play offs you wouldn't back against us with Gillingham and walsalls for dropping we have beaten milwall twice already and our penalty record is a very good one.

    If we do get in the playoffs I,d back us to win them no matter who we play.

    We can make the playoffs on our own form. Top 2 would have to drop some serious ********.

    True, but every team in this league seems to be capable of hitting a truly woeful run of form out of nowhere. I don't think either of the top two will, but if they do, any of the chasing pack can take advantage. We still have to play both Burton and Wigan - and neither of them are going to be relishing playing us.

    That could well be us (again).

    Autos are out of our reach. Play offs we'd have to win around 7 of our remaining 12 games, which is a huge ask but seems attainable when we've won 10 of our last 12. Should we manage that it would be 17 wins out of 24, which I reckon would be among the best run of form in our history.
