Marvellous viewing the league table right now, but let's not count our chickens just yet - a tough few games coming up.

Sorry. It's too late for me on that score

I think so - we're still improving and I think we can expect quite a bit more from Ulloa, Orlandi and Kemy amongst others this season.

Don't think we'll go up but playoffs should represent a success after the summer we had.

We seem to do better against the teams in the top half of the table, bring 'em on

Still very tight from 5th down to 9th or thereabouts. Taking nothing at all for granted but we seem to have become durable and tough to beat. I'm hopeful we'll still be in the top 6 come the end of the season.

Very tricky games against Derby & Burnley coming up. Long time until we are at home again. Makes the win today even more important. If we are still in the top 6 by the next home game then we would have done bloody well.

We're also doing pretty well away from home this season, let's hope both of these continue to coincide and we can improve our form at home and against teams in the bottom half.

Too early to get complacent about the playoffs yet. The last couple of performances give me some optimism though as we have played some decent football and made sure that the opposing keeper has had to earn his pay. However with the injury situation still poor and the unsettling nature of this transfer window Oscar has yet to settle on a side. When we have a better idea of our best team I then think we can make a more solid judgement.

I have to say though, to get to 6th with all the on and off-the-field distractions at this stage is a fantastic achievement.

.....and I think we will feel the absence of Crofts more than people think.....he has run that midfield this season, something we havnt had for a few seasons to be honest....don't underestimate how much he contributed to our resilience.

Crofts this season has made us more resilient, especially away from home. Without him we may need to revert to a more attaking / score more than the opposition type approach.
