I'm still optimistic. Despite the recent results a leading index bookmaker still projects us to get 67.5 points and finish 6th. 2 1/2 points ahead of Derby, but 11 1/2 points behind Norwich in 2nd. At this stage I would take the play-offs.
Working on the full season graphs at the moment, but here's the table at ~ this time last year
Well the most obvious example there is Wednesday, made the Play off final which I'd snap your hands off if offered tbh and they weren't that far off automatics.Preston also had a great run second half of the season, weren't far off making top 6.
Last time we were in this league, we had 6 points after 7 games, having lost 3 of them. We didn't win a home game until the middle of October.That didn't turm out too bad did it?New manager, new team, new regime. It will take time.
