Didn't Brian Horton get us up a place higher ?Top 6 in Div 2 is not easy, always remember our revered forward line of Houghton Wagstaff Chilton Butler managed it just once, a mere 5th in 70/71.

No not quite he got us to 6th in 85-86,Didn't Brian Horton get us up a place higher ?
Are the fans committed to backing the team?As I've said before, the Allams are not committed to backing Adkins in a play-off drive. They might make the right noises and state that our best players aren't for sale but that is only half the required commitment. I don't think the players we have or the boss can do much better than what they are doing right now and they're bound to run out of gas eventually.
Milinkovic could be our joker if given a chance though, but we defo need an quality CB with experience and the physique to match

I make it 10 times we have achieved a top 6 finish since 1904,
1906 5th
1909 4th
1910 3rd
1911 5th
1922 5th
1971 5th
1986 6th
2008 3rd
2013 2nd
2016 4th
2019 ?
Interestingly the 3 times we have made the top 6 since the play offs were introduced we've gone up.
I'm only posting about top 6 finishes in Div 2/Championship levelOrient?

I don't want to be pedantic (well maybe I do) but the question is 'can we do it ?'
the answer to that is yes of course we can
I think Adkins inability to get Dicko and Keane firing will come back to haunt us, despite the good couple of months we have had. Could already see the consequences of this with him having to play Martin with continued doubts over Campbell. If we get a Harry Wilson type through the door it could give us a boost but signing that kind of magic is a bit unlikely

Catch 22 - The fans want their team to do well and get promotion but would the Allams be sticking around even longer in the PL?Are the fans committed to backing the team?
