Obviously the odds are against us finishing in the top two, and I'd kinda rather we didn't, but we're by no means out of the race either.

Ideal world we tick along nicely, finish 4th or 5th and narrowly lose across the PO semis. Takeover goes through, keep our best players, release some deadwood, bring in a bit more quality and romp the league next year.

I think actually we're stronger than 2012 now. If more fragile. The front two are better, but we've got virtually nothing else upfront. The wings are as good. Midfield is better balanced and will have more depth when injuries clear. Defence is a little weaker and we're better at 'keeper. Doubt we'll pull off the same sort of run as I'm not sure we've got quite the same spirit, organisation and sheer bloodyminded determination.

Spot on post!!

Agreed, I think the top two is out of our reach, Adkins had said as much. Then again, stranger things have happened, we were 8th at this point in 2011/12, and the gap was 8 points to 1st.

The title is pretty much Leicester's, but there is a 9 point gap currently to QPR, and we play them.

7th actually with a game in hand on the team in 2nd, rather than the situation now where they have a game in hand on us

Still pessimistic I see!

Damn right Paul, and dont you be oxf*rd telling me you believe now!!
