Whilst I agree with a good chunk of this post, I do think we'd have been comfortably in the playoffs if we hadn't had this injury crisis. The side showed what they could actually do once they all gelled and quite aside from the fatigue point, no one can convince me that McGree for example wouldn't have done better than Greenwood off the boil or Silvera when creating/coming in off the left/supporting whoever we had up front.
No, we wouldn't have 20 more points IMHO, therefore neither would we be up around the autos; Ipswich have been nothing short of a revelation and whilst normally 1 of the 3 who comes down hits a wall, they've all been strong this year. But 10 points better off, with a GD in the teens sounds pretty accurate to me which would have us 5 clear of the Baggies in sort of a halfway position between the Ex-Prem 3/Ipswich and the Best of the Rest.
Outside the Playoffs, a sometimes too inconsistent Coventry and the deckchairs would head up the chasing pack, 7 points behind. That would to me represent comfortably in the playoffs, at least for the time being.
It's all ifs and buts anyway. Still think we need another striker in any case as the majority of this season we haven't had both of Coburn/Lath fit, which is what we require.
