This is a thoughtful post.....who stole Jim...

Are Alien abductions real...

In all seriousness your best point is number 1

While we have done well vs the teams below us, we have struggled vs a lot of the teams above us.

Can we improve as we did last season at this time?
Yes. We could but we could also continue to struggle against the better teams.
Lets not forget how many games this season we have looked poor in .
So many times caught out at the back and out of ideas going forward.

The best teams in the division have bad games but not many of them.

I think you generally end up in the division where you deserve to be.
Time will tell if we are just swatting the weak teams or we can make a serious run at the playoffs.
I did run some numbers/simulations last night on what it will take going forward to make the playoffs.
