I think we should take one game at a time like the Oscar says and wait until CMS & The boy wonder are back, it will be interesting to see if Oscar makes a move for anyone in the January window that would maybe indicate that we are making a push for the play offs or a year of transition.
Having said that and to answer your question they are all well within our capability of winning, but it never works like that look at the Barnsley result.

I know it won't happen, but the next 5 games are all fixtures that we'll be disappointed not win. Hopefully we can get 9-10 points, which should be enough to put us in the top 6.

As well as we have done so far this season, I'm not sure I'm ready to confidently state that we'll make the playoffs. I think it depends on whether we can get a good remainder of the season out of our injured players giving Oscar the chance to really discover what his best team is. Having said that we are in a good position at the moment and are proving very resilient, if we can turn in a few more leicester-like performances then I may begin to believe in the playoffs.

I think come March the rest of this division will be looking at the back of our studs as we waltz away with this fickle league .
The 3 wins before the Barnsley rubbish were systematic of this Division - nothing outstanding but getting the breaks against plugging along teams .
Our top boys are close to return and if the team & Oscar gel , well , I haven't seen anyone out there to worry us - have you ??
And I'll throw this into the mix for next season ..
Tony to go massively "All In " in our 1st year in the Premier - he knows it'll be our only chance of ever winning the bloody thing !!!!

I think the recent run of form and league position might encourage Tony to invest just a little. I get the impression they started this season a little unsure how it would turn out and December is a great barometer so I wonder if they might grab a player. Where on the pitch I dont know but the 'ok lets go for this' thinking might be in the boardroom.

Have a feeling we will sneak in to the play-offs at the death if only because I had planned to take a month out in the south of France in May - sod's law says play-offs and holiday postponed

I have to agree that the number of points we take in the next 5 matches will give us a good indication of whether or not we are up to competing for a top 2 spot.
We are 9 adrift now, but 11 or 12 points from these games would probably leave us about 5 points off 2nd by mid January:
Brighton V Huddersfield
Charlton V Brighton
Blackpool V Brighton
Brighton V Bournemouth
Brighton V Birmingham
But then straight after that, we have Derby, Leeds and Burnley.
Mind you, I wrote off our chances of the play-offs only about 6 weeks ago, so what do I know?

Err schoolboy error there CB. This division is nuts results wise. I will be genuinely staggered if we pick up max points from the next 5, or are not really disappointed with at least one of the results. Throw into the mix crazy festive results that happen every year and I am quite nervous about these 5 games, which we all have such high hopes for.
Personally I think that we will just sneak into the playoffs, after that anything is possible.

I agree with this, it will be very interesting to see if we try and bring anyone in over and above Conway, if we do then I think you can assume that we feel within the club that the play offs are possible...
