Since the Arsenal win I think we have carried on essentially the same as we were before. We are two places better off and closer to 6th place but have lost ground on the top 5 teams. We continue to do well at home, even if we are not winning easily, Preston and forest before Arsenal, the Village after were similar games. We have picked up points against the top teams (2 draws) but not wins.
On the whole I think we are now pretty much where we hoped to be. None of us really expected top 2, and most of us thought the playoffs would be a real bonus, and for us and about 6 other teams that 6th spot is still a realistic goal. We have some more tough games coming up, but we do every month, so if we can stay in touch with that 6th spot then the work done in the transfer market will probably decide who gets that spot. I think we were short of an everyday, 20 goal striker when we played Arsenal, and even though Joao has scored some goals I still think that's what we are short of more than anything else.
