Had we turned two of our draws into wins, that's an extra 4 points.
We'd be sitting in 7th, 2 points off the play-offs with games in hand over most teams around us (two games in hand over Fleetwood who we play next week). One of the games in hand we have is against Rochdale, and that has the potential to be a huge 6 pointer, if you like.
That's how close it could be. I think we would be silly to rule ourselves out right now. It's going to be tough, we do need to put a run of a few wins together, but it is doable.
Just to put the chances of the playoffs in perspective below is where we are in comparison to our previous recent seasons in League one (provided by Dick Sheppard on the cafc@lists.addicks.org mailing list):

One thing is for sure no London club will be in division one play offs.
