This season has never been about top six but it's not impossible

All it takes is to be in touch (which we are and still will be after Wednesday evening no matter what result), and a run and I still reckon we'll finish the season well, though remain frustrating and inconsistent the rest of this month and next.

So it's certainly possible. Likely? No. Desirable? Obviously, there's no such thing as "too early to go up", so probably, though I'll be quite relaxed about a top ten or even top half finish this term, and very unrelaxed if we're not a clear step better next term.

For me they get a free pass this season but I want to see the improvements next.

So it looks like 2 from 4 for the top two and then 2 from 8 for the other 2 spots (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Jan 20, 13:52:22
