I'm pretty confident right now, I have to say. The win on Friday has changed the league from three teams competing for one play-off place to four teams competing over two, thereby increasing our odds - and if you look at the forms of those four teams, Brentford look the least likely to make the distance, followed by Derby, then Ipswich, then us. Over the last ten games we've had the best form in the league (albeit joint with Watford, Norwich, Forest and Leeds), and all that's necessary to get through to the play-offs here is to maintain it as others falter, as they surely will.
I don't think we'll beat Boro in three weeks, but if we do then we might turn it into five teams competing for three places, and that only makes things even easier for us. Other than that, I think we'll get close to maximum points, though I hope that doesn't jinx it. I was very critical of Jackett in November and December, but he's not only proved me wrong, but done what he did at the end of last season: got this team avalanching downhill through the final few games, with extremely high confidence that can compensate for any technical or physical problems. Still not sure we'd be able to handle the play-offs, but I'd love to get a trip to Wembley this season.
