    There you go Minxy <ok> personally I think we need to get 4 points from our next two as we need to build on some decent home form and keep you buggers at arms length <length?. There are some tasty ones in there and I fancy we won't lose many. It's just whether drawing most of them will be enough to see us home....

    Bolton Wanderers H
    Leeds United H
    Millwall A
    Derby County A
    Hull City H
    Crystal Palace H
    Sheffield Wednesday A
    Birmingham City H
    Burnley A

    Some interesting ones there. How do you reckon you will do against Bolton? They seem to have picked up their form a bit recently. ( although I could be wrong ... don't pay much attention to their scores)

    I'll predict a 0-0 draw.

    We are a very boring team to watch these days, we've only conceded 4 in the last 9 games or so (I think..)

    I will forecast it for you

    Bolton Wanderers H Lose
    Leeds United H Win
    Millwall A Lose
    Derby County A Draw
    Hull City H Lose
    Crystal Palace H Lose
    Sheffield Wednesday A Win
    Birmingham City H Win
    Burnley A Draw

    whats that + 11 points, plus 43 = 54 points. And that includes losing 3 home games. More than I reckon we can get. And you only have to finish 4th from bottom.

    The 4 points you have on POSH, BCFC and Wolves at the moment are so vital.

    And POSHMINX - you say Derby are safe, but they only have 2 more points than Ipswich and Sheff Wed.

    There is still time for someone wlse to join us in the bottom 3....

    My predictions for the end of season placings (bottom half) for what it is worth:

    12 Birmingham 59
    13 Sheff Wed 59
    14 Charlton 58
    15 Blackburn 57
    16 Derby 55
    17 Blackpool 54
    18 Barnsley 54
    19 Huddersfield 53
    20 Peterborough 52
    21 Bristol City 52
    22 Ipswich 52
    23 Millwall 51
    24 Wolverhampton 45

    Where teams are level on points it is their current goal difference
    that decides their placing (assuming no freak scores will occur to change the ratio).

    My predictions are based on form, with greater emphasis given to current form
    (Millwall and Wolves are having a torrid time in the League at the moment).

    Have you seen our home form? We pick up most of our home points against teams in the top half...Leicester, Cardiff and Blackpool, in fact, the only win we have gained at home against teams in the bottom half is Peterborough <yikes> and they outplayed us!

    By looking at current form and assuming it will continue Mighty Horse, but Millwall winning at Charlton has
    already dented that table as well as Barnsley beating Watford Italia and Huddersfield winning at Leeds showing
    how incredibly close the finish is going to be.

    Most seasons 48 points have been enough to ensure survival, this season I think it will take more, perhaps 52-53,
    so everyone, from Burnley in 11th down, needs to keep an eye on the relegation spots and to ensure they don't get
    dragged down into the scrap for survival

    Form in this leauge is the hardest to predict, its what makes our leauge so much more exciting than the prem as its always so changeable. Think it is fair to say to say 48 will not be enough, probably need 54, its a brave call to make a table like yours.

    Update after the weekends fixtures:
    please log in to view this image


    It's tight isn't it!

    Lots of wins for those down the bottom mean the big losers are Barnsley, Wednesday and Bristol. Looking at the table, perhaps I should have included Blackburn and Blackpool, as they're slipping down the table too. Predicted finishes based on current 5-game form:

    Huddersfield 61-62
    Millwall 59
    Ipswich 59
    Barnsley 56-57
    Peterborough 55
    Shef Wed 54
    Wolves 53
    Bristol 52

    So based on current form, MightyHorse plumping for 54 points isn't far off, but surprisingly it's higher than that. Very, very tight though!

    I can't lay claim to finding this (stolen from Leicester board) but I recommend you take 60 seconds to have a look at this page as it shows the diagram of everyone's form this season
