So top of the division, WHO WILL WIN IT .. BETTER STILL top 2 and play off 4 ? Who do you think? I reckon only 9 teams have a chance of making the top 6 of which 3 likely top 2 ... home team Burnley ..potential points 99 v top 9 teams, games to play BRIGHTON v : v CARDIFF : BIRMNGHM v : v MIDDSBRO: 4 games Middsbro ....potential pts 97 games to play BURNLEY v : v IPSWICH : BIRMNGHM V : BRIGHTON :4 games Brighton .....potential pts 95 games to play v BURNLEY : BIRMNGHM v : v DERBY : MIDDSBRO v : 4 games Hull city ......potential pts 93 games to play DERBY v : 1 game Derby cty ....potential pts 88 games to play CARDIFF v : v HULL : BRIGHTON v : IPSWICH: 4 games Sheff Wed ...potential pts 86 games to play ....... Cardiff ...... potential pts 83 games to play ....... DERBY : BURNLEY v : BIRMINGHM : 3 games to play Birmnghm .. potential pts 83 games to play ....... v BRIGHTON : BURNLEY : MIDDSBRO : CARDIFF v : 4 games Ipswich ..... potential pts 82 games to play ....... MIDDSBRO v : DERBY v : 2 games on the face of it Hull and Sheff seem to have easier run ins : Brighton 3 games v teams in top 5 : Birmnghm have 3 home games v top 3 My verdict Burnley to finish on 89 points Midds to finish on 87 points Brighton to finish on 85 points Hull city to finish on 85 points Derby Cty to finish on 75 points to 79 points I think it will be close for 6th team ... ! Sheff Wed to finish on 73 points Cardiff to finish on 72 points, Birmnghm on 71 points Ipswich to finish on 71 points
Burnley top, then no one else seems to really want it- I think Hull will get over their recent poor form and will take 2nd place. Brighton winning the play offs.
That would seem to be the most likely, but would have to overcome Midds/ Hull /Derby + ? I do not think they can !
Fulham v MK Dons on April 2nd is a massive game now... And so is MK Dons v Rotherham on April 9th. Should MKD lose both of these, they could well be the 3rd team to drop along with Bolton and probably Charlton.
we need to stop worrying now, it is very unlikely we will not manage to get another 5 or 6 points from the remaining 8 games, we have 3 hard games, get a point from 1 of them and 5 games against championship teams of similar to our own quality .... win 1 draw 2 lose 2 BOLT v M KD ..... jan........... ....... .. 3 - 1 PROBABLY THE BEST RESULT ROTH v CHAR ..... jan 30th ... 1 - 4 helped our GD but draw would have been better MKD. v CITY. ..... feb .. 0 - 2 good 3 points BOLT v ROTH ...... feb ... ... 2 - 1 draw would have been better CHAR v CITY. ..... feb ... ... 0 - 1 good 3 points CHAR v MKD. ..... mar ....... 0 - 0 likely a good result * h CITY. v BOLT ..... mar ....6 - 0 WHO EXPECTED THAT ... * d MKD. v ROTH ..... apr * h CITY. v ROTH ..... apr ..... ???very good draw???
