    I don't think you'll win the league but i think you'll go up. Even if you end up in the play-offs you'll go up. I reckon 2nd with Portsmouth and a big gap to 3rd.

    Once you're up it really makes no difference how you got there.

    I've always thought we'd win it and still do.

    For all the changes the club has faced to be sitting 5 points behind the leaders with 2 games in hand at the midway point is outstanding.

    Few savy signings we could even run away with it.

    Certainly don't think Pompey or Luton could beat us to the title. Much more likely to be Barnsley than anyone and they're playing catch up on us.

    Whole hearted agreement here. Before a ball was kicked in earnest my hope (not belief) was that we would be in touch in January - allowing time to gel as a team and maybe a shrewd buy or two to give us a push. But to sit here where we are (in controll).
    It is in our own hands - immensely impressed with Jack Ross, his signings and the old players that have responded to him.
    Proud is what I am .

    Agreed.

    Let’s not forget all the draws early season while the team was settling in, we’d have been well clear even with the patchy recent form.

    Barnsley in the same boat, and are by far and away the biggest threat. They were the best team we’ve played and if we are honest we had no right to win that game, we were just clinical.

    The current top 3 plus Barnsley, the 3 that go up will be from those 4. I won’t be predicting any order but I do genuinely think we will be top.

    Think Charlton will make up one of the last play off places.
