    PROMOTION

    I think the autos have been decided now & even though Saints & Reading may swap places I think there both go up.

    I can see the play offs looking something like this

    WHAM
    BIRM
    BLAC
    CARD

    Who goes up out of those lot? Could be anyone but I think Birmingham will be the one to make it as West Hams home form could let them down over the two legs and the added pressure of the play offs. Blackpool have the know how as well so they could surprise.

    League one

    I think the current top three have enough about them to go up so its

    Charlton
    Shef United
    Shef Wed

    Notts county could cause a problem in the play offs so they would be my outside bet

    Relegation- Prem

    Wigan & Wolves look already doomed and I think QPR will be joining them Bolton arent out of the fight yet.
    so

    Wigan
    Wolves
    QPR

    Relegation- Championship

    Donny are gone as far as I am concerned and I think its to much to ask for Coventry to pull out of trouble after there loss to Bristol City. Portsmouth will go as well due to the ten point deduction. Barnsley picked up enough points to be safe early on or they would look dead certs to drop down as there form is terrible.

    Donny
    Coventry
    Portsmouth

    So next year we will have the two sheff teams plus charlton to compete with, plus wigan wolves & QPR with parachute payments to aid them.


    Does it look any easier?

    Impossible to tell tbh. Never know whether relegated clubs will keep the core of their team or not

    Personally, I'm really hoping that Blackburn go down. Wonder how the Venky's will react?

    To be honest none of the league one teams worry me much unless they invest of course. Can't see any of them doing a Norwich/Southampton

    I can see Leicester gatecrashing the play-off party as one of the form teams, with Cardiff falling by the wayside

    That leaves only one of West Ham, Birmingham, Blackpool or Leicester getting promoted. Looks like Reading and Saints have been real party poopers to the initial favourites for promotion.

    Coming Down:
    Wolves - Lets hope they keep imploding, good job chairman
    QPR - Will their owners get bored of their little toy
    Blackburn - New Ewood Park Chicken Factory "Opening Autumn 2012"

    From League One:
    Charlton - No immediate threat
    Shef Wed - Could be a dark horse
    MK Dons - Will this bring Smudge back to Elland Road?

    Good to see Wigan get the rub of the green tonight - especially against scum. Fergie was very gracious for once, but I would love to have seen him if the result had been critical to him. Easy to be gracious when you've got a 5 point lead with only 5 matches to go.
