Bournemouth back where they belong The two auto places are now any two from four and we will have a massive say in that
I've just been perusing the fixtures for the next two weeks, during which we each have four games. Whilst I'm notoriously bad at predicting, I reckon that: Norwich will take 12 points from their four Brentford will take 6 We will take 8 Swansea will take 7 So, in a fortnight's time, the top of the table will read: 1. Norwich 76 2. Watford 65 3= Brentford 63 3= Swansea 63 It does my head in trying to predict scores though, so I've left goal difference alone...
Do not count Bournemouth out. We just made up 9 in a week on Brentford. It could easily turn against us with Bournemouth winning both their matches this week including against us so let's not count our chickens just yet.
After those four games, I think they will wobble sporadically Forest away Derby away Us at home and possibly QPR away Barnsley away Reading at home
I looked at them too - and generously gave them a point against us and Preston + three against Bristol - can't see them getting anything against Cardiff though.
If you think that you can predict the Championship you are better than me. Teams have bad runs and good runs. Who could have predicted that QPR would beat us, Brentford and Bournemouth?
Well I did preface them with "I'm notoriously bad at predicting" ... It's not just the championship that's hard to predict though - it applies to every division. About the only club in the UK it would be safe to bet on at the moment is Glasgow Rangers - and even then it would be risky.
Manchester City's stats in the last 17 games would make them the safest betting option at the moment, an incredible pick-up in form.
Woodgate been named Bournemouth manager till the end of the season . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56146342
Rangers have won 25 and drawn 4 of their 29 league matches this season - their only defeat this season was in a League Cup match last year. I'd say they're a safer bet.
Pukki seemed to have found his shooting boots lately, scoring for Norwich, but then having a penalty saved.
