    Home games are now the key.

    In my opinion our home games are the key to the top six.

    We've already beaten 8 teams yet to come to the iPro. Turn these games into 3 points and we're on 68. The same points Leicester earned a 6th place finish with last year.

    Wigan have given us heads up on how teams intend to stop us playing our game and they reversed the result. Steve Mac needs to have a plan to combat this.

    Again as I've stated before this Saturday will be when I start to judge our chances. This is one of aforementioned 8 games.

    I'm calling on all supporters to get behind the team. Forget what's happened over the past few weeks. The hard work starts now!

    Nice run of home wins to compliment the earlier run this season and we may be in with a chance of the play-offs. I think the question is, are we in a good enough state to win a play-off, and are we anywhere near being capable of holding our own in the Premiership...In my opinion yes to the first one an

    The key to success this season has not been home or away form its just bee consistency with lower half of the table teams.

    For success that must not waver in the slightest.

    Are we goodenough to complete in the play offs. Well look how we have fared against top of the table opposition. Terrible so it would suggest no!

    To suddenly look at home form alone ignores the facts????

    So you finally agree with me!

    Who mentioned form??? I was talking about like for like.
    6 of the 8 games I'm talking about are against bottom half teams. One of the difficult ones is this Saturday.

    re: Home games are now the key.

    My point is I think we can smash and grab into the play offs by remaining consistent against lower league teams. However as Bloomer touched upon we dont appear equiped to then challenge in the play offs!

    However if we faulter even home or away with the lower league teams we need to improve against top of the table teams home or away.

    YOu are looking at the league table and points left to right. I am looking top to bottom.

    Of cource a complete change and an mixture all over would have an effect to. I just think were are a top mid table team and had some luck. will need more luck to get in the play offs. But then what?

    I think how we react to our recent losses will shape our season. The next month is make or break. Incidently i think we are good enough to beat some top 6 teams, we won't face the class that leicester had every week.

    re: Home games are now the key.

    I actually think that we are a better side than the last one that got promoted via the play offs in 2007 and perhaps more importnantly a side with some players that have the potential to improve next season.

    If we did fluke promotion, there would need to be a good 6 or so quality players brought in over the summer to stand a chance of even surviving in the prem.

    But isn't nice to even have half a chnace of finishing in the top 6? lets hope that posiiton holds until April.

    Do you expect us to play temas off the park every week? - cos Arsenal have hung on at Newcastle and Villa recently.

    Just wondering what playing well actually means in your head. A thrashing, complete domination?

    Because, and you'll disagree, Barnsley was a very good away performance. And one you've been critical of.
