Need to win next three games if we are serious about the playoffs. All winnable and then a draw against Derby would be nice.

Not sure the next three games will tell us if we are serious about the  playoff, but they are definitely 3 games we should be looking to win.  The table is breaking up into mini groups at the moment, the top 5 have put a bit of distance between them and the next group, which includes us and the teams down to Wolves.  The bottom 3 have also seen a gap appear above them.  Of course being only 15 games in any gap is bridgeable but it does probably show that we are in the mix for the playoffs but it may be a fight for only that final place!!

Your right with the mini groups developing. The league is certainly different this year. For many seasons everyone was beating each other. Bottom would beat top etc. This season I think the better teams are more consistent and the poor teams are very average. Maybe the championship is also turning in to the haves i.e. ones with parachute money or wealthier owners and the have nots i.e. no money, transfer embargo, big debt, mussolini owners haha. Lucky for us we have turned a corner. Getting more difficult to pick up a load of frees and push fro promotion. Even the better standard albeit lower league players demand a decent fee. Maybe I'm also talking shit haha.
