17 points behind Wolves...have we left it too late?

More importantly, how high do we think Fulham can finish?
Is automatic out of reach?

We can get second if we keep this up - to win the league may be a step too far

More importantly we're only 8 points from Derby.

Wolves are too far away from us. Furthermore, they now have more points than Brighton and Newcastle same time last year.
More importantly, Wolves should snatch points from teams between them and us. So, 2nd place is possible, as Derby and Villa have less points than last year's 2nd and 3rd same time.
I expect:
Wolves to be save in Top2
Villa and Boro competing with us for 2nd.
Derby save in Top6 but not Top2.
Bristol and Sheffield dropping out of Top6.
Rather Leeds than Cardiff finishing higher.

[Andy S]

I think the top place is out of reach but anything else is possible. We just have to keep winning

[JoelH5]

Yep, don't need to finish top, 2nd is enough.

Saying that, Wolves are dropping points

[F(f)CUK]

Our position won't be determined by a rout over a rubbish team like Burton but against those in and around us. We have a couple of simpler matches (on paper) and then off we go. COYW.

Too late!

And there's bound to be some bumps in the road on our journey to the end of the season.

But we are in a good place right now!

Finishing runnersup is not out of the question, it is within our grasp. Even more so if there can be more much needed investment in our team in this Window.

The fear is that after recent results, especially yesterday, Management might argue that we are doing very well 'As we are'!
We certainly need cover, but with AK and now Rui finding their scoring boots, piazon back who was badly missed, we have a very strong first 15.
Hopefully this won't put Khan off from investing!!

Fear our last stunning results will prevent recruitment from investing in much needed squad strengthening!

[One Martin Thomas]

Wolves are gone. For us to finish 2nd we have to carry on this form into the harder matches coming. Yesterday's spanking papers over a few cracks that will prevent a 2nd place finish. CB and LB needed and a striker.

[S.F.Sorrow]

Do all of you realise what it actually takes to finish 2nd? We will need around 2.5 points per game for the rest of the season.

So yes, it can be done but not very realistic, is it?  079.gif

[Baszab]

We need to win 10 out of the last 18 just to get into the play-offs - that's a lot pf pressure realistically

[General]

We are now the form team in the league and if we can keep this up it'll mean we'll have a better points to game ratio than anyone over the next 20 odd games.. if that's the case then we may be closer to them than some may think by end of season

[General]

Wolves are also surprisingly a low 6th in the form table which may show they are starting to feel the effects of maintaining such a high standard so early on

[Southcoastffc]

Much depends on whether Derby have their traditional annual wobble.   Unfortunately, Gary Rowett seems pretty grounded, but never give up hope.  Stand Up If You Still Believe.    049:gif 049:gif 049:gif

[..FOF..]

2nd automatic spot still very much a reality.

Thus the reason Joka expecting more signings this month.

No matter how good we are right now, we still have a few position that need cover in case of injuries and also provide competition for those regulars in the team to keep them on their toes.

And for Derby to finish 2nd ???

We have gathered 2.66 points per game over the last 6 games but can't see us keeping this up for the rest of the season.
Our best hope has to be another play off place but this will be great and keep things exciting to the end.
