    This is an interesting Table, which is exactly what I was going to do myself, but whilst looking for a Downloadable League Table I found it anyway.

    In theory we have the 3rd easiest run in out of the top 10, behind Reading and Norwich.

    I fancied us to pull Reading towards us but their run in is slightly easier than ours. If we can beat them at home though, we are going to be on their coat tails.

    Its still a long shot but we are definitely in the mix imho.

    After being 1 minute away from Relegation when we played Forest at Home last July, I would hope so! :)

    We all would love playoffs but the main aim for us has to be establishing ourselves as a solid side at this level again. Last season we just avoided the drop in what was a poor season until GS came in. Even after he came in we were still poor until that final run in after lockdown.

    Before that we have bounced between L1 and champ a few times and never got settled in this league. Our first priority before thinking of playoffs etc. has to be getting a few mid table championship seasons under our belt where we have no risk of relegation and build from there.

    I thought you had us down to be the Hull of the 2020/21 season? :cool:

    Wouldn't have been dead money. I'm glad we didn't take an offer for him in hindsight, but if he leaves for nothing we'll have to invest £1 million somewhere on a replacement. The £1 million taken in January would have netted that off.

    First target for me is 50 points then see where the games take us

    Gior. Chansiri said they were still going for Automatic just after Pulis joined.

    Close that gap on the teams above quickly and see where it takes us. During the 15/16 season we got as close as 7 points off automatic promotion but stuttered with home defeat to Chesterfield and draws with Southend and Scunthorpe.

    Brentford came from nowhere last season. I can remember Reading storming it another season. I'm not getting ahead of myself. It's nice to dream though :D

    Obviously the target is 50 points, and a mid table finish would be a brilliant achievement. But....

    I'm daring to dream! Bournemouth look likely to have Henry or Woodgate as manager. 4 points behind them if we win our game in hand... It's possible! We'd have to get lucky and come into some real form.

    I was hoping Reading would drop down too, but sounds like their fixture list is looking good.Cardiff might sneak in there too

    Can we keep this form up until the end of the season?

    It'd be really tough. But who knows? 2016-style run of form to scrape us into 6th

    Its more critical at this stage that we keep big Val for next season, building on this one, play-offs would be a realistic goal with or without Mowatt, but starting again with a new manager would be too much.

    No easy games but going on form the really tough ones are Millwall H, QPR A, Derby H, Bournemouth A, Reading H, Norwich H. There's always likely to be slip ups and surprise wins, just think its a bit too much to ask.

    The easy answer is Yes, we can. U der VI we have 38 points from 22 games. Thats consistency for me. 17 games left = another 30 points at least. End total, looking at North of 72 points

    We have some kind fixtures. At what point do you look to nicking points off Reading, Norwich and Bournemouth or do you still call those games free hits?

    We're 9 points behind Reading with a game in hand. Considering their start and our start I think we can catch them. Whether that's in the top 6 though I'm not sure?

    It will come to where other teams are on their momentum - there maybe teams with nothing to play for towards the end, but I think if you look at QPR for example, they've now won 3 on the bounce and something like 5 out of last 6 at home - and given out record there - despite them being below us if they are still on that kind of run its going to be a hell of task to take 3 points, then again they might lose a couple before they play us and all of a sudden we fancy our chances.

    I told you all back in February that Reading would miss out when we were 9 points behind them.

    @Chef Tyke told you we were going up.

    You should listen to us on absolutely every subject.
