Just been looking at the top 5's remaining 13 fixtures and i think its going to get very interesting as everyone plays each other near enough. Hull City Fixtures (A) Bolton (H) Birmingham (A) Palace (A) Burnley (H) Forrest (A) Huddersfield (H) Watford (H) Middlesbrough (A) Ipswich Town (A) Wolves (H)Bristol City (A) Barnsley (H) Cardiff City Cardiff City Fixtures (A) Wolves (A) Middlesbrough (H) Derby County (A) Sheffield Wednesday (A) Peterborough (H) Blackburn Rovers (A) Watford (H) Leicester City (H) Forrest (H) Charlton (A) Burnley (H) Bolton (A) Hull City Leicester City Fixtures (A) Blackpool (H) Blackburn Rovers (A) Ipswich Town (H) Leeds United (H) Sheffield Wednesday (A) Cardiff City (A) Derby County (H) Millwall (A) Barnsley (A) Brighton (H) Birmingham City (H) Bolton Wanderers (A) Crystal Palace (H) Watford (A) Forrest Watford Fixtures (H) Derby County (A) Wolves (H) Sheffield Wednesday (H) Blackpool (A) Barnsley (H) Burnley (A) Hull City (H) Cardiff City (A) Peterborough (A) Millwall (H) Blackburn (A)Leicester City (H) Leeds United Crystal Palace Fixtures (A) Sheffield Wednesday (A) Derby County (H) Hull City (H) Leeds United (A) Brighton (H) Birmingham City (A) Blackpool (H) Barnsley (A) Millwall (A) Ipswich Town (H) Leicester City (A) Blackburn (H) Peterborough If anyone ask's why i haven't done the top 6 because personally i think the 2 automatic spots will be taken by 2 of the 5 teams i have mentioned. Out of the 5 teams i don't think anyone has an easier last 13 games so it might go down to the wire. What you thinking guys?
I think looking at the end of the fixtures, Leicester have the chance to decide the top 6 best. Playing 3 of the top 6 in the last 6 games, while the other teams' fixtures are a bit more spread.
You don't think anyone has easier? I think Watford will piss away with it and win every single one of those games except the 3 highlighted which could go either way.
There isn't any easy games, Peterborough and Millwall are tough places to go to and Burnley, Blackburn and Leeds can be tough matches
I think with the 'Boro and Watford games being at home, it gives us an advantage. Palace away will be a very difficult match. The matches not in bold, are easily winnable and we can't really afford to drop points now if we're going to at least put a challenge in for the title.
That is a tough finale to the season for Leicester. Palace away, Watford at home and then Forest away (Who will really raise their game in the hope of scuppering Leicester's hopes.) I would love to hear Pearson moaning if Forest beat them and swapped places for the last play-off spot. Edit; If that happens and we go up automatically I'm throwing a huge celebration party on the Leicester board, with the whole international Tiger community invited.
Every game for everyone is a potential banana skin. Part of the fun of this league and part of the frustration too really! Any of our gamblers have any stats/views on how many games go according to the odds?
Just been on the official Cardiff City website and they only have 13. I know your right i just don't think they would have rearranged a certain fixture yet
