I've done this one with my realistic or perhaps pessimistic hat on, on the basis of any away point is a good point, however in our case it turns out not to be enough!

We are heading for 8th I'm afraid, and 5 points off the play offs
We have just too many good teams to play
A remarkable turn of form is required
Please prove me wrong!

Sorry people but I think the other teams have an easier path. We will have to win at least a couple of unwinnable games to finish even 6th. 7th or even 8th will beckon I'm afraid.

Lack of extra required investment in Jan will probably cost us dear.

Without going through the calculator I have a suspicion (and right now a hope) that we will sneak sixth, the last few weeks has seen a small gap emerging. However, three points on Saturday would make me re-evaluate! Over from Mexico and can't wait to see this game! COYB!!
