With the top three failing to manage a win at the weekend, Col Us 'real derby' win over Southend has put them back in the frame. Surprisingly the biggest losers are Charlton, who despite managing a point at in form Swindon can now be caught by Col U and Swindon if they win their games in hand, pushing them down to 5th.

At Christmas, no one was looking beyond Leeds and Charlton for the automatic places, now there are half a dozen with real hope as we prepare for the run in.

I can`t see Colchester going up automatically, As for Swindon isn`t their game in hand against Leeds? so something has got to give there.

Still plenty of twists and turns to go but I have every faith In PL to get us there 1st would be nice but you find find me complaining if we come second

I also cant see Colchester going up. The thing they have in their favour is that dodgy pitch! Even though we got through it, some teams simply wont be able to. If they keep up a decent level of home form they're pretty much guaranteed a play-off place.

Swindon I think could really threaten, we still have to go to their place but hopefully with Askou and Spillane back by then I fancy us to keep a lid on Charlie Austin.

In my opinion I can see Norwich picking up plenty of points in the coming weeks (cant wait to go to the Southampton game) but the acid test will be March and that will probably be when things become really clear.

I think it is over-taking us that is driving ColU onwards and upwards...

I'm sure something should be done about their pitch...I mean it's a new stadium and they have recently been in the CCC, why oh why did they not consider undersoil heating (especially with Mr C having pots of money - that would have been first on my list...aspiring as we do to the higher leagues....) I think a points deduction is in order!
