Time to have one of these: Seven games to go. One point for correct result. Three points for correct score. Three bonus points for correct final points total. And/or three for correct final position. Me first: Brighton (A): we lose 2-1 Leeds (H): we draw 0-0 Barnsley (A) we draw 1-1 Cardiff (A) we lose 2-1 Wolves (H) we win 2-1 Middlesbrough (A) we lose 2-0 Bristol City (H) we win 3-1 Final points: 58 Final position: 17th (I forecast 15th at start of season) No points awarded, but your views on: Most disappointing team: Leicester (thought they would be top two). But in the unlikely event of Leicester getting promoted with a storming finish, then Middlesboro. Surprise package: Crystal Palace (didn't think they had it in 'em, especially after losing Freedman). Also Peterboro. Probably still get relegated, but I expected them to be well adrift by now, especially after losing Boyd. They play some nice football too at times. I also thought Barnsley would be toast by now. I suggest easiest way is to copy and past my forecasts and amend as necessary.
Brighton (A): we lose 2-1 Leeds (H): we win 1-0 Barnsley (A) we draw 1-1 Cardiff (A) we lose 2-1 Wolves (H) we draw 1-1 Middlesbrough (A) we draw 1-1 Bristol City (H) we win 2-1 That would give us 59 points. If we only draw against Leeds, we will still be safe with 57 points. Leicester have been a massive disappointment, Boro's slump has been shocking, but i wouldn't have out them as top 6 anyway. Flitcroft at Barnsley is my surprise package, I never expected him to make such a difference.
Brighton (A): we lose 3-0 Leeds (H): we win 1-0 Barnsley (A) we draw 2-2 Cardiff (A) we lose 3-2 Wolves (H) we win 2-0 Middlesbrough (A) we draw 0-0 Bristol City (H) we lose 1-2 Final points: 58 Final position: 18th No points awarded, but your views on: Most disappointing team: Leicester, what has happened to them? then Leeds then Bolton. Surprise package: Crystal Palace's Murray how has an old fella like him scored 30 goals? Also Millwall, they could easily be in the FA Cup Final....AGAIN!
Brighton (A): We win 2-1 Leeds (H): We draw 1-1 Barnsley (A): We draw 2-2 Cardiff (A): We lose 2-0 Wolves (H): We draw 2-2 Middlesbrough (A): We lose 3-1 Bristol City (H): We win 2-0 Final points: 59 Final position: 14th No points awarded, but your views on: Most disappointing team: Honestly can not believe how Sheffield Wednesday have not made the playoffs minimum. Massive club, massive ground, massive fan base, a relegation battle should not have been on the cards for them... (On a serious note, Blackburn and Blackpool have both disappointed me, have decent enough squads to be pushing to the play-offs) Surprise package: Watford. A plethora of loan signings seemed very strange at the beginning of the season, but they have somehow made it work, and could yet sneak automatic promotion. Derby have also gone about their business quietly and could yet reach the top 6.
Brighton (A): we lose 2-0 Leeds (H): we draw1-1 Barnsley (A) we draw 1-1 Cardiff (A) we lose 3-0 Wolves (H) we draw 1-1 Middlesbrough (A) we win 1-0 Bristol City (H) we win 2-1 Final points: 59 Final position: 16th No points awarded, but your views on: Most disappointing team: Leicester and Blackburn. Surprise package Palarse,played well all Season but are slipping I am happy to say.

Leeds (expected some Warnock magic tbh). Surprise package: Palace. Hull.
