I can see us finishing 5th-7th. They say the play-offs are a lottery, but I think there are several much stronger teams than us in this division and it would take a lot for us to go up through the play-offs. Top 6 should still be the aim though.

As other have said, there are far too many stronger teams in the division this season for us to have a decent shout for promotion. Hopefully three of them will go back up and some shit teams will come down in their place, then we'll stand a great chance next season.

We look like finishing fifth or sixth at best. Then it's a lottery, though we never lose at Wembley.
That was the old Wembley tho! Will that magic/luck carry on to the new one? |

If we go up it will be through the playoffs. I think on a one off game or over 2 legs, with the luck helping us, we can beat almost anyone in this league. But as has been said its a lottery.

Leeds and Charlton will get automatic and then you'd have to say we'd have a decent chance in a one off game agains Rovers, Huddersfield, Norwich etc... Although I wouldn't like it to go to penalties.

As has already been said, I think there are too many "good" teams around this season and so far, we haven't shown the consistency to make me really believe that we can finish in the top 6. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the way we are playing at the moment but I'm yet to be convinced that we have the strength in depth to carry it on all season - if Douglas, JPM, Paynter, Cuthbert get injured/suspended, who comes in ?
A top 10 finish would be a great platform to build on next year, assuming we can keep the key performers at the club, we should be aiming for play-offs as a minimum then.

Not this season, Next season we have a better chance, If Leeds, Charlton & Norwich were to go up and teams like Scunthorpe, Peterborough & Plymouth etc come down then we should have a great chance next season provided we don't lose players like Douglas & Mcgovern in the summer.

Everybody keeps saying that, but Norwich are currently 2nd. I wouldn't rule them out of a top 2 spot. |

Nick Watkins has said that there is money available for Wilson in January. Makes me wonder if they're loosening the purse strings a bit to make a push for the playoffs. Though I guess we never spent the money we offered for Robinson and Tudor Jones, maybe its still sat there waiting for the right player.

I've always had the impression that money is always there if the player in question is the right one.
