5 wins from 7 games, but...

[oh_weds_we_love_you]

only 2 points clear of the relegation zone, which the four teams below having a game in hand.

We'd be in some right crap without 15pts from 21 available!

Still going to be a tough ride until May, and not so sure Irvine's 6 more wins stance will be enough give the teams at the bottom are picking up good points,

Massive South Yorkshire derby next Tues - a must win game.

if somebody had said 6 weeks ago by today we would be 9 points behind leicester and the playoffs then i would have took it

[Guest East_Dene_Owl]

Some of them sides in mid table who aren't even thinking about relegation could get sucked into it. QPR and Bristol City spring to mind. http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

Or even Sheffield United the way there playing.

I'd have taken just being out of the relegation zone. It's frightening to think where we'd be right now if we'd given Laws much more time.

[RockieOwl]

But only 3 points off 13th. Just had a look to see if we could be in the drop zone on Saturday though, but only Sflaphorpe are playing.

Could really do with a win against Doncaster on Tuesday

[latemodelchild]

The table will change massively between now and the end of the season. Got to keep picking up wins, let other teams worry about us. As has been said, theres teams above us who will be dragged down into the mire and hopefully we can take advantage.

[icarver]

Scunny or Reading will drop- defo!

[Wath-owl]

Pretty good time to be playing Donny.

Like said before, the more points the bottom teams pick up the more midtable teams get dragged into it.

For me QPR will do very well to stay up with the way things are going.

[Glaser]

you can either look at it that we are still near the bottom 3, or you can look at it that we have now pulled ourselves into the huge group of "possibles"

We have cleared ourselves of Plymouth and P'boro and have now dragged a hell of a lot of teams into it i.e. QPR, Scunny, Donny, Palace

[Beholder]

QPR are looking most likely at the minute.

Our form suggests we are looking up rather than down I think. Can't believe we are still only 2 points off relegation though.

I believe that the Owls look at it as "glass half full" as opposed to "a glass half empty" You are correct in your perspective!!

And based on the last six games, top of the form table I believe.

[happy bunny]

that table is tight as flip

our improved form should be enough to see us climb, would be nice to keep picking up the points and see us pushing on

[Singing The Blues]

This league is always a crazy one and this year is no exception, to be 2 points off relegation in February and only 9 off the playoffs is incredible.

As has been stated before, there will be a few teams who haven't considered being in a relegation fight this year, but count my words, if any team loses form from Sheff Utd down they will be in big trouble.

They are dropping like a stone. One win since they beat us on November 7th…

[SiJ]

We are dragging others into it.

Keep these solid displays up at home and we should be allright.

[MrOwls]

I couldn't believe it looking at the table ONLY 2 POINTS AWAY FROM DROP ZONE !?! Its a conspiricy ( now I sound like a BLUNT ) but positively a few wins from exciting times COME ON YOU OWLS WIN WIN WIN UTO FTB WTID

[Guest Walkley_Owl]

Scunny's game in hand is Ipswich

Reading play Newcastle

Plymouth, Dingles and whoever

it's so tight this league, from Barnsley down anyone can drop

[owlsdreamer]

QPR are in free fall.

Sflaphorpe look the most likely to join the other 2.

Cant see reading being down there long.

Palace could be the surprise relegation package IMO.
