This team is better than last years IF they can keep this run going (I’m aware the odd blip is likely).

I agree with other posters when talking about the strength of the league. If we make the playoffs, our route already looks harder than last year. I don’t mind though because I think we’ll be even better next season.

I think Boro as a semi holds up to playing Leeds or soton or Ipswich personally. They were going for autos last year and v good

No chance of playing a Luton in final this year though it seems

Not that it helped us last year lol

Another team on the up in the last few games is Watford who have underperformed for most of the early part of the season

I hope you're right but that is some gap to make up.

Avoided pulling the trigger on their manager and now probably reaping the benefits

Can we end the notion that Wright has been playing “wide left” or as a “left winger”. He’s playing centre forward. It’s like saying Kitching is playing left back.

He played a few matches as centre forward early on but has been playing on the left since!

Left of centre is very different to left wing.

Anyone else feel Sakamoto has been looking quite good at centre forward?

Yep, fine. Wide left forward - no. He’s just playing as a left sided forward. Same as Kitching is playing as a left sided CH.

In the old days, he would be an inside forward.

Our points return (& especially our GD) really is incredible considering we played 5 of the top 6 (Sunderland were at the time).

Can we win 14 of them, that’s 82points could that be enough for second spot ?

As Brent would say, if we're heading in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.

Good one. If we’re talking about how the season has progressed so far I’d have gone with; if you want the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain.

83 is the fewest in the last 10 years, usually 90+.

69 was low for the play offs last year, in other years you’d need 75+

At best I think we win 10 .. we don't lose many so you can see a few draws in there

I think we finish between 72 and 76 points

Often, it’s the years where the league isn’t competitive that increases the points tally of the top teams, naturally.

With it being a competitive field this season, you’d think 70-73 points will be enough for 6th place.

We’ve just got to keep the points ticking over now. We’ve had a v difficult run and frankly, we’ve smashed it.

Even better than that & a truer reflection if you look at since the change in system & tactics:

Compare this team with the one we had at this time last year..

We are in a better postion than this time last year in a harder race.
We have better players now as a squad
We have more of our own players now instead of loans
We lost O Hare around this time last year due to injury. We have him in the squad for this season and he is in form
Robins seems to do better in the 2nd half of every season
We still have time to make another transfer in the market
We have yet assigned the Torpedo to active duty.

It's all good.

Do we think we’ll sell any of our assets will be sold in the summer? Didn’t even cross my mind until our turn around in form but I’m sure people will be keeping tabs on sakamoto/sheaf/Van Ewijk.
