No.....we would lose in the playoffs......too painful. All or nothing for me.
Miss out and a good season or automatic promotion.

Probably the most open title race in years. Xmas maybe the period when a gap opens up.

We’ve got a very tough month or so 16th Dec-Jan 30th, so if we’re still up there after that then we’ve got a great shot.

Norwich, Swansea away, Brentford twice and Bournemouth.

If I’d have answered this a few weeks ago before this run of fixtures and after the break then I would have. But now are suddenly 4 unbeaten :D

Plus - between now and February we only have 2 northern away trips - Huddersfield and Preston (both Jan). Autos have to be the aim, but the same could probably be said for the Top 8 as we are so bunched up! The fixture list is certainly in our favour.

Thought our run in looked pretty kind at the start of the season. Not so sure now.

Birmingham A
QPR H
Barnsley A
Derby H
Watford A
Cardiff H
Luton A
Swansea H
Norwich A
Huddersfield H

Norwich and Swansea in the last three looks a hell of an end to the season but is a great chance to cement something if we're up there and can get good results.

Would happily see a couple of squad additions in the January transfer window. We are only still one third of the way through the season.

The first 3 of those haven't been that impressive recently.
If, and it's a big if, we can keep the key players fit, we could really get something at those places.

Snowflake Royal I'd take 4th right now if I can still watch the games that get us there. Hell, I'd take 7th.

Like CR, don't want 9 months without football.

In hindsight obviously the ones who said Yes were proven right but I don't think any one could have factored in the near constant levels of injuries we have had this season.

We have them most seasons tbf.

Joao barely played last season. Yiadom missed loads. It's been a regular thing for ages.

Think Swift actually managed most of last season. One before he missed a lot of.

Question now - would you rather:
Finish 7th
Make POs and lose in semis
Make PO and lose in final

Definitely not lose in the final, unless it's behind closed doors.

Otherwise, no preference.

If we make the playoffs now we'll win them.

Other teams will have to lose form and we'd have to spark some seriously impressive form to manage it, so chances are that'll carry through and we'll do well.

Oh yeah, for sure, but his history with us isn't great.

It's because I'm not.

Knowing our luck the only time we will ever win a playoff final is when no-one is there to see it.
