Mods feel free to delete this thread if there's one already.
This is the question that we are asking ourselves i suppose , it comes with the anxiety of being within touching distance of the Premier League and trying to look ahead at what games we are getting what points....
Just out of interest i looked at Ladders after 28 games last Season 2017/18 and 2016/17 and to compare it to now

M---W---D---L---goals---Dif---Pts
1. Leeds United-------28---16---6---6---47-30---17----54
2. Norwich--------------28---15---8---5---52-36---16----53

7. Britol City------------28---12---8---8---35-29----6-----44
From the Mad man's Analysis Well the past 2 Seasons at the halfway point Newcastle and Wolves were at a cracking pace in terms of Points with 61 and 62 Points respectively , we are 7-8 points behind that and they achieved auto Promo comfortably .
Everything in hindsight is fantastic if we would of parked the Bus leading 2-1 to Forest and if we would of taken our chances at home to Hull etc... at the same time we had some luck in stoppage time vs Villa and also Blackburn , what about the Penalty save from BPF vs Reading at home 1-0 and gave us maximum points .
All in all with the injuries and under 23's we have used certainly we have played above our resources IMO and no complaints where we are on the ladder , Biesla has been amazing when everyone was calling for signings and proved that he knows what he can do with the players at his disposable once Dallas , Bamford , Douglas , Philips , Brown are fit and ready to go we have some nice impact of the bench.
I've done a Ladder Predictor and this is my Prediction which i wouldn't take any notice lol
This is how i think it will finish up
1. Leeds United--------90 Points
2. West Brom-----------87 Points better diff
3. Norwich City---------87 Points
4. Sheffield Utd---------84 Points better diff
5. Aston Villa------------84 Points
6. Hull City---------------80 Points
With Aston Villa vs Hull City Play-off Final and Hull winning 1-0
My Predictions for the above table :
vs Rotherham Win
vs Norwich WIn
vs Boro Draw
vs Swansea W
vs QPR Draw
vs Bolton WIn
vs West Brom Draw
vs Britol City Loss
vs Sheffield Utd Draw
vs Millwal WIn
vs Birmingham Draw
vs Preston Win
vs Sheffield Wed WIn
vs Wigan Win
vs Brentford Draw
vs Aston Villa Loss
vs Ipswich WIn
so 9 wins , 6 Draws and 2 losses from our last 18 games .
