With just eight games to play we are nine points in front of Brighton in 11th with a far superior GD (+1 compared to -12).

I would agree. with Brighton 9 points behind and 8 games left we should make the top 10 which would make a fantastic season, let's take it one game at a time though.
Good to see you yesterday spijed, hope you avoided all the angry Ray Winstones afterwards.

At the moment, I have us down as finishing 11th but now Wood is back, I expect our form to pick up. So 9th is certainly realistic.

I would imagine the bookies have stopped taking bets on a top ten finish.

I want that 7th place now.
We’re coming good at the right time.

Ha ha they've only just stopped taking bets on us getting relegated.

If you're more points clear than games remaining, I've found it's a good indicator. For us to finish outside the top 10, we'd need everybody down including Brighton to finish above us. We're 9 points ahead of Brighton, with 8 games remaining, so I would say we'd have to do something pretty bad to finish 11th or lower. Even 10th I can't see.
