It's obviously down to our results in the end and so long as we actually don't lose the games against rivals, or not more than one or two max, then things look fairly good, though I find it hard to accept MostlySunny's forecasts of only three wins out of the last 10 games - perhaps he was having a mostly cloudy day. That would put us in danger. But while our fixtures are tough on paper, by my reckoning there are 11 games before the end of the season, excluding ours, involving just teams from the current top eight, and six just involving the current top six. Bolton, Derby and Barnsley won't/can't win them all. And we know from our experience as recently as last season that as well as teams having a late season surge, they can also have a late-season slump, often drawing against teams they had down as nailed-on wins. Not to mention Doncaster in 2016-17.
