Not wanting to put a downer on things, but this table puts us on notice that there is a lot of work to be done and we should remain very grounded. More importantly the team will likely need to raise their game to higher levels again and remain mentally tough.
What am I talking about? Look at the average ppg of opponents during that run
over 12 games, comfortably the lowest of anyones.

Obviously it's not as straight forward as that. You don't go 15 unbeaten, pump teams for fives and a six, hardly concede a goal, without playing exceptionally well; and of course all those lovely points we have bagged will impact on our opponents ppg average.
However I remember Shrewsbury going on a colossal run last year during consecutive matches involving lower placed teams, only for it to dramatically hit the buffers when they conversely ran into some of the better sides consecutively.
If we are still 6th going into the Oxford game we can start to get properly excited. If we're still 6th after Oxford, well.......
Let's focus on Reading and Wigan, two opponents who may well test our form and as MS would say - 'see where we are then'.
