    Unbeaten in 12 games but too many draws have seen Villa edge past us. It would be nice to have stayed top 2 to the end of the season but this may well be a mere blip. We just need to get more points than them in the remaining 15 games and we will be fine.

    Home form will let us down I think. 3 draws out the last 4 home games is not good. To be in with a shout this has to be addressed! I know there is more pressure at home but to get promoted you have to be able to cope with the nerves. I don't know why but I think it will be same old same old unless we can turn around our home form, it's not good enough!

    So far there have been few games we have dominated and played well in considering we were second. But we are still in with a chance and hope we can get over the line

    Reality check!! Not good enough for autos (especially since Sam Winnall's injury thus losing late fire power options to turn draws into wins!) but top six will be a superb result. Even if we then fail in play-offs we should have a good base to become stronger next season! Important we avoid a late season tail- off and lose momentum for next season!! Great progress this time around and even if we stay in this league the opportunity will be ripe for Mel and Gary to make us unstoppable!!

    Still short in the midfield areas other than that we are almost ready.

    I think a lot Derby's weaknesses will be exposed next month.

    We already know our weaknesses, it’s just down to how we cope with it.

    Rowett pointed out today that we have only conceded one goal in open play in the last 15 and we still lose ground to villa. Can't do much more imo

    I agree with that defensively but we need goals to turn draws into wins.
