Of course we can, but 3 points now means less than it did on day 1 (There's probably a mathematical name for this but ... well I can't be arsed to be honest!) 15 games gone, essentially a third of the season. We started at -15 on the leaders, we're now -5. If the next 15 games are identical, we'll be 5 points clear after 30 games BUT of course it doesn't work like that. What we simply have to do now is target one place at a time, get to 6th, then 5th, then 4th etc etc. Any moves up by more than one place we class as a bonus. I posted earlier (But am obviously so boring no-one responded!) that IMHO if we are in a similar position by January then, if the management have anything about them, we'll make the right buys and finish the second half EVEN STRONGER! So Yes, is the simple answer!
