The obvious answer is none.
Statistically, it could be done, but I've yet to find a team overturning a 9 point deficit with 5 games to go in the Championship.
Last season Swansea overturned an 8 point deficit over the last 5 games. They only won 10 points from their last 5 games but Forest only won 2 points. Such a collapse is very rare. There was another in 2008/09, where a side won 1 point from their last 4 games and had a massive goal difference overturned, in what was probably the biggest collapse ever seen.
Bournemouth have a game in hand. If we overtook any side in the top 6 they would have suffered the greatest end of season collapse in this division's history, since the playoffs were formed.
You'll also notice that I haven't even touched on the possibility of us winning 5 on the trot.....

A win today would have made Friday interesting and with favourable run in would have kept the season alive.
Dead now as bad as we hope reading will be - we are incapable of picking up the points we need to pressure them.
Less than 1% apparently.

I think that the most significant development will be what sort of players are brought in during the summer: are we aspiring to be a team that can play the ball or just retain the style that is more limited and less ambitious in the long term?
Cardiff’s season is done and I don’t think Reading are far behind.
Shame the way it's fizzled out. 1 point from 3 very winnable games is a very poor return. Most of the playoff sides have had some dodgy form recently, unfortunately we couldn't capitalise
More chance of striking a match on a dish of jelly
Luckily , the vet has put us out of our misery with a big goodbye injection, so as we wouldn’t feel the pain of another play off failure.
I don't understand why the 'holiday' is always is Dubai. It's ****ing awful! If I had their money I'd go to much better places
