As I look at that table, I find it very difficult to envisage any of the top 5 not being there at the end of the season. Only Bristol City in 6th need look over their shoulders. The other 5 are in a straight battle for automatic, or more realistically, 2nd to 5th are in a straight battle for the runners up spot.
At this point, I'll be disappointed if we fail to reach second place - We have as good a chance as any of our rivals, probably slightly better given our squad, slightly easier run of fixtures and 5 point lead over Fulham. Of course, it's possible that Fulham will be above us by the time we walk off the pitch at Craven Cottage in a fortnight.
I know it's ifs, buts and maybes but that shot that hit Hogan, on the line against Brentford (or was it Middlesbrough?) at home haunts me. I'd hate to finish 3rd by 2 points due to that freak clearance.
