Verdict: Despite the potential of us suffering a play-off defeat hangover, the pre-season optimism has been justified. City have had a decent first half to the campaign. While the five home defeats have been a concern, the away performances have been outstanding.

Where has this season gone right/wrong: Our form away from home has been a huge plus. But we weren’t expecting so many home defeats, especially as last year we were unbeaten at Valley Parade.

Best moment: Tyrell Robinson’s debut goal in added time away at Wigan.

Lowest moment: An uncharacteristically poor home performance in losing to Fleetwood.

Best and worst opposition teams: Wigan were excellent when we played there, the worst was Chesterfield in the FA Cup.

What needs to be done in the transfer window: Longer contract for Tyrell Robinson and extend Alex Gilliead’s loan deal.

Predicted finish: Second.
