Instincts can we get to play offs?

The top 2 looks beyond us

But I do think we look like one of the best 6 teams - when we get it right we look very good.

We are averaging 1.5 points per game after 10 games.

That would take us to 69 over the season > the points needed to reach the top 6 on average is between 73-74, so we need to improve if we are going to make the top 6.
(The highest it's been is 80, the lowest 68)

We have the 3rd best attack for goals scored, with the 2nd highest number shots on target. So that bodes well.

But only 5 teams conceded more. This is the concern - there is no way we are finishing top 6 if we don't cut out the error and stop conceding preventable goals.

I Don't think there are 6 better attacking teams than us, But we do need to stop some of the soft goals.

But we are getting one or two of our long term injuries sorted.

I think Amos and Field will give us a push and ease the burden on Johansen and Ball

Top 6 very possible 

My prediction at the beginning of the season was 5th

I have not changed my mind

We have a decent set of players and whilst IMO the right wing back area is our weak link I'm still confident that we can make the playoffs.

We all know that a few of our better players can be injury prone and that in recent matches we have messed things up with silly mistakes but over the season that will also happen to other clubs.

So far the likes of Dickie, Chair, Willock have been outstanding but the key player for me has been Ball. When Ball hasn't played we do not look as solid or as balanced.

If we are still in the top 10 by the New Year then I can see TF allowing Warburton to add a signing or 2 to strengthen the squad (probably just loans)and make that final challenge.

Fair comment mate, but it’s nearly impossible to win pretty in all games you do win (unless you’re Man City).
