ON THE FIRST OF AUG I GAVE MY PREDICTOION FOR 2013/14 SO AFTER 26 GAMES WOLVES................ ....3rd......55 points BCFC....................23rd SHEFF UTD............21st PETERBRO.................7th........45 points PNE.........................4th.........48 points BRENTFORD.............1st.........59 points BRADFORD............13th SWINDON...............8th............40 points GILLINGHAM..........14th LEYTON O..............2nd..........57 points ROTHERHAM..........5th...........45 points PORTVALE..........9th OLDHAM............16th WALSALL..................6th........45 points TRANMERE.............17th STEVENAGE............24th MKD......................10th CARLISLE...............19th CREWE................20th CRAWLEY.................15th NOTTS.................18th COLCHESTER............12th SHREWSBURY.............22nd COVENTRY...................11th SO MY PREDICTION IS BCFC to finish 2nd, present positions as posted, in the top 8 5 correct, bottom 8, 4 correct mid 8, 3 correct so 50% aint bad! at the top 2 gaps open 7 to 4th team and 5 to 8th............ City's max points is 84 with a miracle
OOPS! I would settle for us getting 52 points right now because that is what I think we need to survive based on previous season's statistics. Even that is a tall order given that we need 1.4 pts/game vs our current 0.93 pts/game and if we lose tomorrow's match at Brentford the task goes up to slightly higher. Our position would be helped greatly by a run of wins because every time we draw or lose the task will just get more difficult and there will soon come a time when only wins are acceptable scarily enough that time is not that far away. Should we be concerned? I think the answer is a firm YES unless we start doing something with which we have had difficulty all season and that is WIN WIN WIN. Survival this season is a necessity unless we want this team to drop even lower and to all the folks who will say "there he goes again" I remind you of very similar issues over the last few seasons followed by the promises to fix them and look at where all that rhetoric got us.
absolutely, my table on who plays who "crunch" games is quite informative when you look at the games the current 12 play each other in! every team has around 30 points to gain, although if all the results were home wins, CITY would be getting 15 points they have 5 to play at home. they gain an EXTRA 3 points on SHFF BRADFORD and STEVE, 6 ON NOTTS AND CREWE LOSE OUT 6 TO TRANMERE AND 3 TO CRAWLEY crawley 49 gills 47 tran 46 brad 45 old 45 carl 42 shrews 41 city 39 sheff 38 notts 36 crewe 36 steve 34 so if that was the only games left we would just survive, so we cannot afford to not WIN any of OUR 5 home games, BUT HOPE THERE ARE LOADS OF DRAWS AMONST THE REST

SO MY PREDICTION IS BCFC to finish 2nd, ..that was crap present positions as posted with 5 to play...... 19 correct predictions out of 24 with 3 of the bottom 4 !!!!!! in bottom 8
I thought we would make the play offss However, I stated on here back in August that we would have a disastrous start, which would continue until November at the earliest and see SOD under much pressure before things started to come right in the new year. I then made the stupid prediction that we would win the division next season, and I have placed my bet. I stand by that prediction I believe we will be Division Three Champions 2014/15
the surprise this season was almost orient, I did say at end of last year nov/dec? the top 6 would e different to what it is now as teams lost their way or started to play fixtures against stronger teams..... that didn't really happen although LO and Peterbro dropped away they still remained top 6 and that has remained so since 01/12/13 At the bottom same thing predicted, teams pick up and move up, we took longer than expected and whilst still not in the clear a brave man would be needed to take odds on us going down! other than City and Sheff climbing above 16th the bottom 6 is as was.... so really come game 19 all was decided almost! Preston, Rotherham, Peterbro Swindon less one of them, Sheff Coventry,MKD and add Yeovil, Millwall, blackpool? Cant see anything from div 2 Scunthorpe maybe? forming a nucleus OF MAYBE 9 OR 10 TEAMS

SO MY PREDICTION was BCFC to finish 2nd, ..that was crap
now we know that either burton or Fleetwood will make up our league time to take a couple weeks break and then start on trying to fathom next years...... PNE SEEMS TO be UP AND DOWN on alternative seasons so would maybe be top 12 the team to win it must be Sheff Utd? Bristol City Sheff Utd Yeovil Doncaster Barnsley Leyton Orient Preston Peterborough Swindon Port Vale MK Dons Bradford Walsall Crawley Oldham Colchester Gillingham Coventry Crewe Notts County Chesterfield S****horpe Rochdale Fleetwood here is a template for anyone doing predictions or things
looking at next years league teams the hardest bits will be getting the top 4 and the bottom 4 in any order initial thoughts are:- top in no particular order yet... City Sheff Barnsley Scthorpe bottom..... Colchester Crewe Fleetwood Notts cty
