Not meant to wind anyone up but thought I'd go at predicting the scores of tonight's games - tried to be dispassionate and based purely on how I see current form, pressure telling and the fact that there is likely to be at least one possible surprise and I'm backing the Tractor boys for that - so here goes Bristol City 0 v 2 Leicester City (our defence is looking good and our 2 forwards are in good form) Coventry City 1 v 0 Crystal Palace (Cov are capable of grafting out a narrow win here IMHO) Derby County 2 v 2 Blackpool (Derby had a good result against Brum but Blackpool always dangerous) Hull City 3 v 2 Leeds Utd (topsy turvey high octane derby - Hull just edging due to Leeds current defensive frailties) Middlesbrough 2 v 0 Barnsley (team in good form against one forced to sell their better players in January) Nottm Forest 2 v 1 Doncaster (Forest picking up lately Donny mercenaries won't like it up 'em) Peterborugh 2 v 1 Millwall (posh to win a close encounter due to home advantage) Southampton 1 v Ipswich 3 (Tractor boys have hit a rich vein and Saints have struggled when expectations have been high - my potential shock of the evening) Reading 2 v 1 Portsmouth (would love to think that pompey might cause an upset - but suspect it's beyond them their hard working team)
Bristol City 1 v 3 Leicester City Coventry City 1 v 2 Crystal Palace Derby County 2 v 0 Blackpool Hull City 0 v 1 Leeds Utd Middlesbrough 2 v 0 Barnsley Nottm Forest 1 v 1 Doncaster Peterborugh 3 v 1 Millwall Southampton 3 v Ipswich 1 Reading 1 v 2 Portsmouth
I have Southampton, Palace and Reading in an accumulator tonight, so apart from us (obviously) I havnt given the others much thought
