Cardiff 31 67 Hull 32 59 Watford 32 56 Crystal Palace 32 55 Leicester 30 53 Middlesbrough 32 50 Cardiff are 11 points ahead of third placed Watford, with 15 games to go...that's just under 4 wins worth. Another 45 points possible. I believe a win on Tuesday, will convince everyone that there is only one place left. Watford, are causing a stir with all their loan signings. Other teams are suddenly beginning to realise the enormity of their loophole advantage. None more than Olly! They look scary at the moment but can lose a game it seems. (14 games left). Hull, with their Egyptian magic, seem to be continual, and will win games. I think they will be in there all the way. (14 games left). Leicester, with 16 games left look likely, but they lose games. Crystal Palace, what a star they have in Murray, what a revelation this season, bit Whittingham esq, of a few seasons ago. Can win and lose (14 games left). Middlesbrough, are my first team to be eliminated from the run in for the automatics. Too many losses with 14 games left, no chance. In summary, Cardiff up, with Watford and Leicester fighting it out for second. Play-off's would be very even this year, with the runaway team out of it I think.
Fair summary TMM. 15 games to go and 23 points max will do it. 1 1/2 points per game and we average over 2 per game up to now.
Hull seem to be grinding out results. Leicester may end with too many games in hand and run out of steam. Also, we haveto play a couple of these and a few have to play each other. It's getting nervy. A comfortable gap at the moment, but is it really our turn?
