Just going on what Bristol City look like (albeit 10 men for a half)
6th place and a fair shot at the playoffs? Yes I would. Would be a statement, we'd win a bunch of games, and we'd be targeting automatics the year after.

Automatics only for you then?
Probably be playing one of Ipswich/Leicester/Southampton
Yes

Agreed
Anybody who says no either doesn't want us in the prem, or is insane.
It comes down to context though doesn't it.
If we finish 6th but had been top 2 at Christmas in a bang average division and find ourselves clinging onto 6th after a dire run of form whilst Wrexham and Stockport finish 1st and 2nd then no. It will feel like a massive missed opportunity and a play-off we are unlikely to succeed in.
But if we have a season of adjustment where maybe some of our better players are less impressive at championship level or maybe we have a run of bad injuries and sneak into 6th then yes I would be delighted.
Take Walsall supporters - would they have taken 4th at the start of the season, I am sure they would but 3 months ago?
