I'm happy about last night's win but I feel a lot of people are getting carried away.
Our February fixtures look very difficult to get points and we might end up in the relegation zone if the teams below get a few wins.
Birmingham (19th) away
Forest (20th) home
Watford (3rd) home
Cardiff (15th) away
Norwich (1st) home
Brentford (4th) home
Swansea (2nd) away
Blackburn (10th) away

And if we win them all we are top half. No team in the bottom half wins successive games regularly so I can't see us suddenly dropping that far so quickly

Rotherham just went and trashed Boro away, surprise results can and do happen all the time. It doesn’t mean they will but we also can’t adopt the mindset that such games are guaranteed defeats

That is just football though. If teams below us can catch us, it is just as possible we can climb a few places too.
I think we will go up and down around where we are. The threat of relegation will remain until the end of the season. First year back was always going to be a dog fight. Considering the injuries to key players we have done well.

I can see your point but the next 4 are all winnable. Not expecting many if any points from the last 4 but given our home form I can see both Norwich and Brentford not guaranteeing themselves 3 points.
Meh, we're unlikely to lose them all. The only teams we've been hammered by are Bournemouth and then the 10 man disaster that was Blackburn. I reckon we can grab a couple of points or more - most of the teams we're playing we got something from, or ran them close, last time we played, so why should we be fearful?
Get 4 points from next 2 games. Or minimum 3 points from next 2, will gladly take a few draws then from the 4/5 tough games, to keep us ticking along and up the up the table.
Always felt Nov/Dec/Jan would be vital as those were our 'easiest' run of games and we needed to pick up points after a tough start and a difficult Feb on paper. March also could be important with games against teams around us and I'd hope we could have a bit of a cushion going into Apr/May as I wouldn't want to be approaching that needing to get results from a lot of them.
Next two are important. Can't afford to lose either and ideally win at least one.

Would happily take 8-10 points from those. Important we don't lose the next 2, but beyond that each is a bonus. Gets it out of the way too and providing we're still in touch, which I think we will be having points in the bag, then we have a reasonable run-in.

Thanks for putting this up, quite enlightening that despite key injuries, not scoring loads and some poor performances (and some forecasts of gloom) we're actually holding our own fairly well. Imagine if MR had a full squad to pick from every week, the tone would be a lot more positive.

so we started the season very poorly
after the 1st 11 games we are on 1.5 points per game
That converts to 69 points in a season (73 usually gets the play offs)
We have a very small squad and have been ravaged by injury, so much that 1-11 almost picks itself
What we are achieving is massive, and if we can keep it going, give it a couple of years of improvement, and things could get exciting
