It's for games until the international break in March and worth a go for a bit of fun. Before you pull mine apart, I'm well aware that we have a much tougher run in to follow this set of fixtures, but if we're in there and building momentum then you never know:
I have us 7th
Fulham 86
Bournemouth 80
Middlesboro 67
Sheff U 65
Blackburn 64
QPR 63
Coventry 62
Huddersfield 59
Forest 57
West Brom 56
I don't think April is as bad as some think (based on current form)
Blackburn (H), Birmingham (A), Huddersfield (H) are games I would expect us to be in with a good chance of winning. West Brom (A) and Bournemouth (H) are not lost causes either, neither is the last game, Stoke (A)

I'm expecting us to miss out,but for me it's been a great season where we've entertained whilst at the same time feel the team has learnt more about the other teams and themselves as a group.
It has been a very good season.. I know we all get upset at times when we lose but the way we have outplayed experienced championship teams with some sumptious football at times has been great ... we are close but I feel not quite close enough atm
Can't help but feel there are some real defeatist attitudes towards this season from some. It was such a good opportunity and I get the impression the towel is being thrown in.
I'm not throwing the towel in and I certainly think at full strength we're capable of holding our own against almost anybody in this league, but I feared the small squad and run of games would see us struggle if for no other reason than fatigue. Sadly that seems to be the case, made worse by MR not utilising his subs. I'd love it if we got a second wind and picked up again, but I think it might be too much for the players.
