League position

You know, looking ahead I wouldn't be disappointed if we fail to get promoted this season such is the headstart the rest of the teams above us have had, like Fulham, Bournemouth etc.
If we are in the championship next season and we keep this squad together with some other additions it could be a brilliant season to watch.

I think so, but unfortunately the relegated teams - whoever they are will be quite strong.

Will they though? You can see Norwich been ripped to pieces and starting again from scratch. Burnley? More than likely to go down again, once they lose Ben Mee and Tawkowski. Watford? Manager merry go round will start again. Newcastle will definitely go straight back up
 
I've said before we should have got rid of Warnock in the summer, I said it at the time to be honest.

Anyway, we still pulled the trigger too late. He went after West Brom at the beginning of November but I felt Coventry was the day he should have got his marching orders. 5 points in the first 6 games. We were immediately 8 points behind the top 2, and facing a real struggle to catch up. It got worse of course and now it's getting better, but we gave ourselves a massive hill to climb.

We've been superb but we need to keep this kind of form up for another 4 or 5 games just to be level with those top sides. 13 points in 5 games will probably put us top 2....then we have the 'simple' matter of maintaining that form!! It's one hell of an ask.
 
The anchor was on far to long.Warnock came in had a hard job but steddied the ship.Now Wilders come in he's floating the begger.
 
On current form second place will be 87 points. We would need 46 points in the last 20 games to beat that. If we get that we deserve to go up, because that would be phenomenal. We can drop 14 points between now and the end of the season to beat that. Maybe 18 points if West Brom and Blackburn drop off a bit.

So we are talking minimum 13 wins and 3 draw out of 20, but more likely 14 wins and a couple of draws. If we lose 5 games out of 20 there is no chance of making 2nd

There would have been no guarantee of wilder so I think the managerial timing has proved to be correct.

again if we pulled the trigger earlier we can’t know if we got wilder.
 
We’re averaging 2.2 pts under wilder so let’s see how long we can maintain that . Plus bearing those around us will help to stop them getting it’s as well

But we've got games against Fulham, Bournemouth, Blackburn, QPR and WBA still to come, win all those - particularly Fulham, Bournemouth, and Blackburn, and it may reduce the points we need to make 2nd. EDIT: Yes I know I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one!
 
The following might be obvious but Fulham had a dip but are now flying so only 2nd, or the play offs as a route to promotion. Bournemouth are wobbling and I think they will drop to a play off place. West Brom are struggling a bit and I am sure Blackburn will have a wobble. 2nd is a possibility for a few teams, whoever can put a great run together. I think the next 5 games are going to be difficult but if we can maintain this run the confidence within the team might get us there. IMO, we will be 4th or 5th and win the play offs.
 
Lets just enjoy whats hapoening to us at this moment in time & stop bringing up posts of what might have been, some fans seem to enjoy having a pop at Warnock rather than praise Wilder

The whole club, fans are on a massive buzz at the moment & long may it continue, lets enjoy that hey, look forward to a happier future, playoffs, autos, either is achievable

True, but they are the ones we are less likely to win....you never know though. My figures were just to give an estimate of the task, if we beat blackburn and beat Bournemouth then we can probably reduce the number of wins needed by 3 instead of 2

I think we are in with a good shout but it’s a free hit for Wilder this year for me. I won’t be too upset if we don’t go up, I’ll be more than happy to just have something to play for going into the last weekend, to be honest.
But if I start to dream a little….😬
