We have spent enough time in this league to know anyone can beat anyone, and there are no easy games. An away point is always a good point, especially if you are strong at home.
We are lacking a natural goal scorer, and if Warnock can get one over the next week or two, we may just turn some of these draws into narrow wins.
I think the top three will end up being Wolves, Aston Villa, and Derby. I would'nt be surprised to see Bristol and Sheff Utd, drop away, and if we can get ourselves a decent striker to play alongside Zohore, I think we will be best placed to remain in those play off spots.

Fulham on a real charge and looking likely to take a play off spot, if Villa/Derby & Wolves take the automatic places that leaves two play off places up for grabs. Middlesbrough are starting to come good under Pulis and shouldn't be discounted, so we could end up fighting The Wurzels, Sheff Utd and perhaps one other from Brentford & Leeds for the final place as I just can't see us making the automatic promotion places now. Our poor December looks like it is going to cost us that opportunity. We have to play all of those sides except Fulham again, and obviously teams will take points off each other, but unless we can find a proven goal scorer this window and whoever it is hits the ground running then I fear we could miss out. We really need to up our game to the levels of the first half yesterday on a consistent basis but with an end product - if we can do that, not too many teams will beat us.

Agree with all of that. Whatever happens, this has been a good campaign for us so far, and considering where we were when Warnock arrived, I think most of us would have taken our current position at the start of this season. Not going to be easy over the next few months, a lot of strong teams closing in on us. I still think with a bit of strengthening up front, and if we can get a bit of luck avoiding injuries and suspensions, this team can get a top six place. If we are in the play offs, anything is possible.
