Leicester to drop out of the playoffs to be replaced by Forest, Watford to drop out of Auto and Palace to nip into the auto spot. It's as good a call as any and completely worthless. The other week some Hull fans were talking about how they believe they could catch us and end up champions, really! Bit of a different tune being played on those forums now. Meanwhile on some Watford forums, yes, you guessed it, some are talking about how they can catch us and end up champions. Lots of different outcomes possible and the party is only getting into top gear. It will be fun to see if I get close with my "Prediction"
See the Bristol thread BBC predictor, we seem to be heading towards 100 points...what is that? win one get one free? jck
I see us and Watford as auto (hope that is not the kiss of death) with Hull, Palace, Leicester and Brighton in the play offs. Okay I know its boring as those are the current league positions but thats the way I see it. However, coming up on the rails and could displace Leicester and one other (not sure who) are Forest and, as an outsider, Blackburn if they can get their injured players back quickly. Going down, Peterboro (sorry Minxy), Wolves and Huddersfield.
Bluey - same as you, I put Hudders, Wolves and Posh down for the drop a few weeks back. Barnsley had just battled to beat Middlesboro at the Riverside and said I thought they would claw their way out of it along with Ipswich and Wednesday. Bristol City were the difficult one to predict. If O'Driscoll could get them firing away from home they could scramble clear. They had a couple of hard games at us and Palace since then and lost both. A win on the weekend at home to Barnsley seems to have dragged them up a bit and Barnsley down. Posh are the enigma. They can win against good opposition or just crumble against less skillful sides. Their inconsistancy could cost them - games in hand mean nothing, it's points on the board that matter so I'll stick with my choice for the drop. Going up? Can't see us not taking the title, and the way they're playing, Watford for runners up for me. Playoffs are a lottery - any one down to 10th place still has a chance.
Bluebirds will be champions, Udinese reserves runners up. Hull, Leicester,Palace and Brighton for play offs. Leicester to win through. Posh, Bristol City and Barnsley to go down. Probably.
Cardiff & Watford 1 & 2 3 Hull 4 Leicester 5 Brighton 6 Forest* At the other end. 24 Bristol City 23 Wolves 22 Ipswich* * There is always a team that has a good or bad run in the last 4 or 5 games so I'm going for Forest to get a good one and Ipswich to get a bad one.
They lost 3-0 to leicester last night. Still a lot of footy to be played, but Hull, Watford and Palace seem to be the teams holding it together at the moment. We're all having the odd blip, but they seem to be the most consistant.
You can get massive odds on peterborough and bristol to get auto but its still a better chance than winning the lottery. jck
Peterborough , most points they could get if they win all their games is 75, so I'll put my money into the lottery instead.
It's also more than Peterborough or Bristol has, or are likely to have! whilst we should scrape the 75 I would think.
Just put an acca on Bristol to win every remaining game. Takes out the need for us and others to implod and the championship to have it's lowest ever auto total. You'd obviously lose the money anyway, but you'd take the bet from impossible to ridiculously unlikely.
Well Bristol have been getting on my nerves for some time now, so a whole division between us will help sort that out for a while
A long way to go at both ends of the table. More will be known and the picture much clearer after the easter programme. Dont get too carried away just yet. Remember that possible title decider on the 4th May @ the KC, Hull.
Too many hearts broken on here to get TOO carried away Tickler, but we reserve the right to enjoy every last drop of the bottle(see what I done there) You and Watford have enough to worry about without worrying about us. Lo and behold the foxes won their game last night and now you have one or 2 of them thinking they can win the title. But I disagree with on the "long way to go", games are running down fast, time is running out for some and for others it's already run it's course.
Think that game at the KC will be a must win for your boys TFT to get auto promotion, the good thing for your boys is we will have been crowned champions well before then and may put out a reserve side
I think we will be up by the second week of April personally if not a bit before. I used to be indecisive, but im not so sure anymore !
I've had a soft spot for the Posh for years, I had a few great nights in Peterborough in the late '70 after watching the City. Had a great welcome from the locals. Of course Minxy gives another reason to hope Posh make it.
