Over a season, at least the past couple of years, you can usually separate the top 4 in the Championship from the next 6 sides down to 10th but the difference between that latter group is never that great. However, once those sides are in the play-offs there are 270 minutes from promotion and a limited side like Cardiff can (almost) take Fulham to extra-time who can then comfortably beat Brentford themselves previously extremely unlucky not to finish in the top 2.

Think the board's ambition is to finish 5th-10th and hope we get a bit more luck on our side in the play-offs this year.
