7 points behind with 13 games left. Seems a big gap to make up. Could we still manage it, though? In past seasons, the period from now to the end has often been our best part and we've often gone on surges up the table.
However, form lately has not been inspiring and despite DA's optimistic read of 4 defeats in 19 games (many of which have been draws), performance has been nowhere near last season's high.
It might be pointed out that we are in a higher division and so our expectations should be tailored to that reality but our form in the first half of the season was fairly entertaining (once we adapted) but since then, perhaps we've been found out and hence games became a bit of a grind.
Obviously, it has been an odd season and no-one really knows how loss of crowds has affected each individual team on the pitch.
Many of us will probably suggest being happy enough with mid-table safety, while at the same time feeling a bit wistful about the fact we had actually appeared in 6th or 7th place at one point of the season. So how is with you? Late season push, middling finish or end of season fizzle out?
