    Stoke must be looking over their shoulder a little at the minute. Lost their best striker in January and results don't seem to have improved really under Robins. Hull and Plymouth feels like they have upwards momentum under their new coaches and Derby looking to bring in Eustace. They could be in a real scrap this season.

    If they do go down, I can see them staying down for a while

    been there 3 years and failed at promotion, with all the money that they have spent.

    I know the boro owners don't pull the trigger like most but they must be thinking it is time for a fresh approach

    1 win 5. teams below them catching up.

    They’re so poor at the back, the two full backs are bizzare Giles is good going forward but with Ayling bombing on like Frodo on an adventure too it leaves them so open it’s going to drop them firmly into mid table

    They’ve made a profit on transfers in each of the last 3 seasons? Most clubs do at this level. Leeds have made a 100m profit on transfers, this season.

    Done a little bit of analysis

    IMG_8229.png

    We have by far the ‘easiest’ home games but also by far the ‘hardest’ away games. So we need to pick up these points at home.

    Leeds still have us and Sheffield United to play in the top 4.

    Sheffield United have Leeds and Burnley from the top 4 with the Derby away at Wednesday too.

    Burnley have Sheffield United from the top 4 and a derby away at Preston aswell as FA Cup fixture scheduling

    there’s still a chance

    firstly superb work,

    secondly whilst the points tally difference is small and we have the games anything is possible. Beat Leeds and that opens a few doors.

    think this is going to be the cloest championship in history for promotion race, Play off race and relegation it has seen,

    Championship » Table calculator I have used this a couple of times to work out fixtures,

    Think it may hinge on an adjustment from RLB. I’m confident that his favoured XI will keep our points total ticking over in the away games. I’m less convinced by the home games. They have the talent to win plenty but the evidence thus far is that they don’t have the attacking mix to blow stubborn teams away. Thus far RLB seems to stick with a consistent XI. Hopefully he changes that and goes horses for courses. If not I think this season hinges on one of the regular attacking starters going on a prolonged hot streak.

    Done further analysis. IMG_8230.png the league position column on here is the teams respective position in the home and away table. For example Bristol city are 5th in the home table and 14th in the away. That’s why there’s different numbers for us and Sheffield United

    Makes ours look a little harder

    good analysis

    for me we just need to keep winning and need results to go for us when the top 3 collide, long way to go but 3 points monday would be a crazy swing

    Predictions are useless, looking at teams we play. Plymouth, Stoke and Watford were meant to be easy wins. Timing is a big factor. Look at Plymouth's form now

    Dan James at 33/1 is a shout. Scored 10 and 5 of them have been since the turn of the year

    10 goals and 6 assists in 26 league games this season, a load of those have been as a sub! Quality player at this level
