Who fans believe will be our worse threats to staying in the play offs

I personally think besides our selfs theres two clubs I would be worried about
Sheffield united and Crawley both are sneaking up on the rail and both have taken good points of us
Anyone else think there are any other dangers .Just glad we have points in the bag at present time
As we are our own worse enemy
 
Personally, I think you'll hang on to 6th spot.
I would love to see you get higher, but considering your form this season, I think you're too inconsistent to close that gap with the teams above you.
As for the teams below you, I think the cup run will have taken it's toll on Sheff Utd, and although Crawley have 3 games in hand on you, that's a hell of a lot of games to cram in for them, and I think it will be asking too much of them.
 
I have written off our chances of finishing any higher than 6th so, other than the games against Posh it would be
beneficial for us for the top 5 to keep winning.

Key games:


Posh - Rotherham/Preston/Wolves

MKDons - Wolves/Crawley/Brentford/Rotherham

Walsall - Orient/Port Vale

Swindon - Preston/Sheff Utd/Brentford/Rotherham

Sheff Utd - Wolves/Crawley/Swindon/Brentford/Orient/Rotherham

Crawley - Sheff Utd/Preston/Port Vale/Brentford/MKDons/Orient

Port Vale - Crawley/Walsall/MKDons/Rotherham/Sheff Utd/Posh


Sheffield United and Crawley have some tough fixtures as well as a crowded calendar during April.

Posh have to play 7 games that month whilst Sheff Utd have 8 possibly 9 if they draw with Hull whilst
Crawley have 9 games.

With some of the teams vying for 6th having to play each other that can only help Posh but, whatever the results
elsewhere if we can go on a winning run then our destiny is in our own hands.

I believe 6 wins from our remaining 10 games is not an insurmountable task and should prove enough, 74 points or better has
been good enough for the last 10 years for 6th place. However records are there to be broken - until last season 53 points or better
had always ensured survival in the Championship!
