I would suggest there are at least 4 clubs capable of going up auto..we are one of them.
Its nice to dig out a win but we cant depend on hoping for a late goal to win every match.
Sometime it aint gonna happen.

Aye, at least 4 mate, I agree. Makes it interesting huh! I’m pretty confident on our defence at the best of times, so the opposition have to break us down, our concern is doing the same as the Reading game played out for all to see.
Long haul yet, saying nowt about a goal scorer because it’s all been said before, we are doing fine despite our handicap.
West Brom look a cut above at present.
WBA looking like they have a solid, allround squad, us with a couple of others appear to be battling for second spot at present - makes the Jan window even more important. Striker & CB needed ( White injury free so far !! )
Surely the club have learnt from last year.
Don't bet on it
Sort of agree Calverly, but Forest playing 10 men - and their fans will tell you they're not a good team, WBA v Bristol - Bristol give it a go everywhere they go - plays into a good teams hands - and we beat them at their gaff remember, All the **** teams we have played and beaten recently have played to stiffle us and get us on the break - so a win is a win IMO.
We do better against teams that have a go at us in terms of performance and excitement.
Teams that concern me are West Brom and Fulham, would hate for a repeat of last season where three of us got away at the top, As long as they all keep taking points off each other I'm happy to be swapping top/second with West Brom for the rest of the season.
Also agree about Hull, stop Bowen and they don't look half so dangerous, and didn't rate Preston that highly when we went to their place either.
West brom are the main and obvious threat, Fulham are not far behind, mainly due to the fact they have mitrovic.....if only!!!!
West Brom would love to have our defence and we their attack
Our defense is now settled although agree it was shaky at one point. Bartley to his credit has been excellent this season so put this down to Bilic. Ferguson at 18 is a star and already Premier clubs seem interested. The only position which we could do better in - is a ruthless scorer ( like Gayle ) but then again Pereira is class as is Grady It says something now about our defense when Hegazi can't get back in now back from injury. One of the best players is Romaine Sawyers and you missed the boat there - he's superb.
Big difference we have a class manager in Bilic where Darren Moore at manager level was out of his depth. So in summary - we are a far better team than last season by a mile!
Personally think West Brom and Leeds will go up as by far the best two teams.
