Ok, after 20 games we have now played 20, won 7, drawn 7 and lost 6 and sit in 9th place.
This time last year we had played 20, won 7, drawn 7 and lost 6 and were 10th in the table.
At this point in 2015/16 we were 8th, as we were in the promotion season of 2014/15.
Conclusion? We have it all to play for, especially with a number of our wounded players almost ready to return.
Without wishing to state the bleeding obvious, I think after 25 games we should have a much clearer idea of whether we can mount a serious promotion challenge this season ; as after next Saturday the following four games are against sides in the top 6 who have created a breakaway group at the top. It is vital we take at least 7 points from those 4 games (3 are at home), plus at least a draw at Rovers next week. Otherwise we could be heading for mid-table mediocrity.
