By a long way, despite now being in 4th place... This could be a white knuckle ride of a run-in!

Manager, squad, and goals, happy days!

Great to see so many players looking so very happy for their teammates, haven't seen quite that at ours for a while

I'm daring to hope now, we could do it, nothing to lose...

Dare I say it, bar a blip at Cardiff we are in good form at present and suddenly scoring goals for fun

We're 4th and we've got a really tough run in. It's going to be the playoffs.

I like your realism, but there is a chance Trig?

I still think it'll be tough to get past two of the top three, although by no means impossible. But things are looking up, the squad's stronger, players are coming back from injury, and we might even reach the situation where March is the only one injured (I hope that does happen, and it maintains itself for a good while). We should also avoid the ten-yellow card suspensions (probably).
Two big games coming up though. Preston are one of the real surprise packages in the Championship -- can't believe they're tenth -- and they were well drilled when they came down here. Hopefully, they'll feel the onus to come at us a bit more playing at home, and then we can unleash our counter-attacking qualities at them. Pleased that Sheff Wed will be without Forestieri, and hope his absence affects Hooper. Be good to beat them, potentially opening up a 11 point gap on them. If we win those two, then I might start sharing the OP's confidence.

I think we're going up automatically. Really do. And I'm the last person to get overly confident. Just a feeling all around the club and fans like never before. It's neck and neck and probably will remain so. But I think we'll do it. Like a well positioned middle distance runner coming into the final bend and onto the home straight...AND HERE COME BRIGHTON!!

Yes a tough run in but with home games against Burnley, Derby and Wednesday if (IF) we can beat them, then they drop the points. No easy games when sides are struggling/fighting at the bottom either.

Tough run in yes, but I don't think we have anyone to fear.

One game at a time though.

So bring on PNE

Long, long way to go. Recent results have certainly helped.

You know about odds far more than most, but we're great value there. I still don't fancy us to make the top 2, but we ought to be 5/2 or 3/1 -- shouldn't we?

Well you obviously don't need to ask me.

With Rosenior back, Bong due back, wingers on form and a choice of strikers, we're looking as good as we ever have, but we're playing catch-up and others have easier run-ins, so I'm going to stick to realistically expecting the playoffs.

Nobody has a run in any easier than anybody else just look at Boro tonight. We are putting the pressure on and nobody will want to play us at the moment.

Betting is all about value in my opinion. I think we're overpriced, but we are still the unfashionable 'plucky overachievers' in many eyes. Combine that with lower liabilities amongst the betting firms and you end up with 9/2.
Have a nibble!
