1) Keep the dream alive
We’re still in with a shout – just. Cardiff and Fulham may have the easier finish (as I’ve alluded to above) but we are not out of it – win our final three games and we’ll end up on 88 points, which is more than the average of 86.8 which normally guarantees the second automatic spot. We need to win to keep ourselves in the mix.
There is no reason why we can’t – we are far better than Ipswich in every department and let’s hope the players (and coaches) haven’t decided to settle for the play-offs. We are almost certainly guaranteed 4th place (beating Derby at home next week will make sure even if they win their games in hand) but surely we can do better? Even if we come up short of second place, winning the remaining games will build some good momentum going into the play-offs, if that is where our fate should lie.
