We are at a point now, where the level headed amongst us will be thinking stability, strengthen for next season and have a real go.
The more colourful will be thinking we should make at least forth and possibly 3rd then you never know.
Then there may be a handful at least of eternal optimists (like me) who really believe we could do it this year.
"Steady on now, there`s a bit to go yet," I hear. I also hear, "Fkn birdbrain`s got his heid in the clouds," but some folk jist have nae imagination.
Going by current form we must be favourites for at least 4th.
It isn`t too much to believe we can beat Arbroath, then Partick to get to the final.
Once there, I think neither St Mirren or Kilmarnock will be unfazed at the prospect of having to beat us to stay up after seeing us beat Hibs and demolish Aberdeen.
Of course I am on a wee bit of a high after 3 weeks of great results, and no doubt my enthusiasm might be curbed a little, should we drop a few points.
However, today as I sit relaxed polishing of a rather large Rusty Nail, I believe we can do it.

**** it, let`s be arrogant bastards and back ourselves to win promotion and the Scottish cup in one season. It may well be very unlikely, but it is far from impossible

I fancy us for 4th now for sure. Huge, huge ask to go up in the play offs but it`s not like anyone will relish playing us if we keep up a bit of momentum. Personally I`m just happy the plan appears to be clicking and obviously the cup run is a very welcome surprise.

Imaging getting told at the start of the season where we would be just now..
I`m sure we would have all bitten any hands off at this opportunity.
Me personally maybe sensible head not sure but ad rather have go at winning the league next season. Not totally sure we`re ready for promotion yet.
But I do believe we have a huge chance of taking Falkirk in the semis, from the highlights last night they looked no much better than Aberdeen.
And if a final should happen then who knows ... Who knows
Cmon ye pars

We are fans, so are allowed to think this way! If we don`t have hope , what do we have? And that`s not being a happy clapper.
We can do it, I think probably we will just have too many games (all really competitive)in a short space. The players will possibly be completely whacked, on the other hand - Momentum and adrenaline.

I have acute cup fever.
The league is just prep for climbing the Hampden steps to lift the cup.
Our team can go out and play with no pressure.

I know in recent years I have (rightly) written you off as, frankly, a lunatic for this brand of optimism Parrot but I do find myself in recent weeks wondering “what if”.
I mean, it isn’t entirely mental to think we might be able to go up. There is something special about this team and I suspect Lennons leadership has a lot to do with it.
If we can keep the current form up, avoid costly injuries, get the Ox back soon, get the break of the ball a few times, get the wind at our back…. It isn’t inconceivable.
Keeping up the standard of performance will be key. We haven’t been the most consistent this season overall.
But I think we can certainly make the playoffs. Ayr aren’t in great shape at the moment, couple more wins and we pull away from them a bit.
We can certainly beat Arbroath over two legs if we are on our game.
Partick are perhaps the biggest hurdle, we’ve never really looked like beating them but I think we certainly could.
Should we reach the playoff final, I wouldn’t fear Kilmarnock or St Mirren over two legs.
I’m not saying we are definitely going up but it’s certainly in the realms of reasonable possibility, and for once, we can actually dream without giving way to delusional optimism.
