Start of the season I said top half par, top ten great, anything more fantastic

Now I think playoffs is par, auto would be fantastic - it's achievable but it also wouldn't be a great injustice if we didn't do it. We can beat anyone in this league but I think Leeds and Baggies in particular are also very strong, and as we've shown anyone can put a run together - plenty of teams have enough in their squad to hit top two if they do so.

From here if we fail to make the playoffs I'll be disappointed (though as others have said, more or less any season in the Champs is better than more or less any season in the Prem). And as we all know if we do finish 3-6 it's frankly a lottery from then on out.

On our side is the apparent squad depth we're enjoying, the fact we don't revolve (too much) round one or two key men, and the way that while we have a clear philosophy and style of play (which is fantastically easy on the eye) we are prepared and able to change it up if the match situation demands it.
