I think Warnock's comment that if we're in the top 4 by the end of October we've got a good chance of making the playoffs is right, but with fixtures easing off a bit in November and December, I reckon that if we're within touching distance by Christmas, Vinnie gets the chequebook out and we'll be having a dabble at automatic. Tough though.
