Thanks MJG. Interestingly it seems that there is a large number of teams that have come from a good few points back to get promotion then. Allied to this is the fact that we've still got 65 games to run until then too- if we can stay in the hunt, or even improve our position (playing Leeds could help).
Just for interest I looked at the 2017/18 table at the same number of games as now (you can find it on the fulham web site if you go back on the fixtures page which is actually easier said than done). we were much further away from the second place than we are now and nearly caught cardiff.
so it is not unreasonable to think we could get to second now, it is perfectly possible assuming we keep this run going. however my opinion is each season has its own nuances. wolves were brilliant then and unlikely to be caught and cardiff overachieved, and we had very few injuries and/or suspensions.
this season leeds are arguably underacheiving and WBA over. Which leads us to think what about us. I suspect we have not hit our best form consistently yet and I personally think top two is well within our grasp (a mega change from my outlook from the start of the season!). But I actually have less confidence this time than two seasons ago because I have to factor in Parker's inexperience despite, IMO, having a superior squad.
stas are interesting and make for debate but if reid starts chipping in with a few goals and AK continues to show his more mature side, who knows? The next four games may be very illuminating.
