    Do you think we will;

    a) be in the play offs at the end of the season

    b) get automatic promotion

    c) stay in th Champ

    Just to get a rough idea of what you all think.

    Personally, I think (hope) we can get into the play offs. We are doing well and have a decent squad.

    We could nick 2nd spot but Leicester and Hull seem to be in great form this season and will be hard to beat. I think we will finish 4th-6th and hopefully go up via the play offs.

    I stuck my neck out and went for automatic promotion.

    We look the business now, while other teams around us are having relatively average runs (apart from Leicester). I don't think we're going to carry on winning four games out of five, but we have depth in our squad, and there are relatively few players that we would struggle to cope without, so I think we can be consistent in the run-in. We're still underdogs, but I believe that we are capable of doing it.

    I think it really depends how our squad looks at the end of the window. Put myself down for play offs

    In a Venn Diagram there could be some overlap between a) and c). I know that's being pedantic - but I am good at that.

    Being the eternal pessimist I think we will make the Play-Offs. Only to fail at the final hurdle.

    Come on boys - I am more than happy to fail miserably on this one.

    I like this prediction, let's hope it happens.

    True, I doubt we will get rid of any of the better players mind...

    OK you are right, how about If I had said after 46 games, then it would be better right?

    I think this shows how we have come along this season. Brilliant really.

    If we win our next two games, which will put us 2nd, I wonder if any of us saying playoffs will change our mind? I think I may.

    i'm going for playoffs..much as i think we could get automatic promotion, i think if we lose one of the next two games this wave of optimism might diminish somewhat. Fingers crossed...i have a bet on for promotion from playoffs or otherwise ;)

    I suspect that some of those voting for play offs do not necessarily think we will win through them

    Might not go up through the playoffs though. I really meant where we will end up after 46 games...

    In 2005 after a 2-1 win over Ipswich on Feb 22 we had 42 points from 33 games and thought we were safe from relegation.

    Just 2 points from the next 9 games swiftly disabused us of that thought and just as swiftly relieved Ray Lewington of a job.

    7 points from the last 4 games (under a certain A Boothroyd) rescued us and the rest (as they say) was history.....

    Of course, it couldn't happen again - or could it?

    We now have 46 points from only 27 games - a much better haul and enoghh to stay in the division with zero additional points in all probability

    The only way we can now go down is with a massive points deduction
