Another factor is promotion / play-off experience. We have this, Reading has this, Ipswich and Bournemouth don't.
As a manager, Oscar Garcia walked the Israeli league by 10 points, so it's not as if that went down to the wire.
I like our chances and I think with home games against Yeovil and Blackpool then - despite the fact the table has us 7th - it is effectively back in our own hands.
