Posted in lucky pint but worth posting on its own.We've played all of the top 6 away already. Our run in for the season should technically be easier than the first half. We're averaging 1.7 points per game over the last 10 games which would equal 68 at the end of the season so we need a slight upturn in form but given the slightly easier games that is possible.
We are too inconsistent at the moment for a Top 6 finish
On 14th November after 17 games we were 16th in the table, the last five games has seen us reach 15th. That means we have to be better than at least nine teams currently higher in the table than us to reach the playoffs.I would certainly expect some of those to fall behind us but not all of them.Added to that, a number of those above us have one or more games in hand.
The players we have at the minute wouldn't be able to maintain a run like that, because the bench options aren't good enough. For me 2 strikers, 1 midfielder, and 1 centre half added to keeping our loan players and signing Stewart permanent.
Three of our next four at home are Gillingham, Walsall and Sheff Utd. Let us see where we are after those games.
One of the interesting points for me is that about a month ago we were 10 points away from the top 6, now we're 6 points away. Things are tightening up in the middle of the table so it wouldn't take many wins for things to start looking very rosy, anything could happen.
