Playoffs? How possible are they?

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Haven't we got 13 games left?

Er yes. I was looking on the statto website and hadn't noticed it hasn't been updated since the weekend :(

So we need more points per game than even Ipswich managed then?

The play offs are extremely unlikely BUT...

We are 6 points from 7th position, so we need to gain 'only' 6 points or less on 'only' 5 teams to get to 7th position.

A couple of weeks ago, there were too many teams to overtake to potentially get to a play off position if one of the top 6 slipped up.

That isn't really insurmountable now.

So the real problem is the current 13 point gap with inferior goal difference with only 13 games left.

Momentum is key for us and one of either Sheff Wed or Leeds.

Looking at the run in.

Immediately this weekend we have a tough game at home to Fulham, who taught us a footballing lesson last time they were in town. Times have changed and we now seem to playing with some more structure, plans and belief. Not going to be easy, but IF we can get 3 points, we see Leeds play at home to Sheff Wed on Saturday.
We will gain at least 2 points.

Hopefully Leeds will lose, as they have quite a tough run in and can see them starting to drop points.

If we can keep some momentum going, then in 5 games time that gap could possibly become 6 or 7 points or even less.

Anything at that point could become possible.

There's a lot of ifs, mights and possibles above and I'm not expecting miracles, but anything is possible.

For now though, we have to take it a game at a time, trying to keep chipping away and just focus on us playing to our individual's and team potential.
