Final position?

[maffff]

Form over the last 8 games for those within 10 points from the playoffs [or better]. If this remains consistent towards the end then you'd say Leicester will continue to run away with it, top 2 will be contested between Burnley and Derby with Forest nailed on for a playoff spot and Wigan looking the most likely to push us out if anyone. Although being hailed for their form they aren't 'that' much more consistent than us [yes they've won their last 3 on the trot whilst we've lost 2].

The one team that may be starting to combust is QPR, be interesting to see if that slide continues.

WWLWWLWL. If we can flip that with a win against Yeovil we'll be on track for 2 points from every 3 available - the equivalent of a 92 point season if we'd had a bit of consistency throughout.

That would have been enough to win the league the last three years and promotion in 2009-10.

We have 50 points so far, if we can get back on track and maintain a 2 points per game average from that would finish on 78. 3rd or 4th on three of the last four seasons, 5th in the year we lost to Swansea (with one point more than we had under McD).

There's no one a bit lower really hitting form just now. We may be inconsistent - either looking great and having 5 wins and 3 draws - one of which was v. Wednesday where the sending off killed that game.

Leicester 20 from 24 [6 wins, 2 draws]
Burnley 16 from 24 [4 wins, 4 draws]
Derby 17 from 24 [5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss]
QPR* 13 from 24 [4 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses - lost last 3 on the bounce, havent won in 4]
Nottingham Forest 15 from 24 [4 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss]
Reading 15 from 24 [5 wins, 3 losses]
Wigan* 16 from 24 [5 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses]
Brighton* 11 from 24 [3 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses]
Blackburn* 13 from 24 [4 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses]
Ipswich 9 from 24 [2 wins, 3 draws, 3 losses]
Leeds* 8 from 24 [2 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses]
Watford 12 from 24 [3 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses]
Middlesbrough 10 from 24 [2 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses]
Huddersfield 9 from 24 [3 wins, 5 losses]

See you in the Bree

Having seen some of the Wigan game today, I'm fearful that they are more than capable of grabbing one of the play off places from us.

Having seen some of the Wigan game today, I'm fearful that they are more than capable of grabbing one of the play off places from us.

Ideal outcome for me would be:

Derby 3rd
QPR 4th
Wigan 5th
Reading 6th

Reckon QPR would beat Wigan & I'd fancy us against Derby TBH. Think Forest are just as likely to finish outside the top 6 as us.

Bump!

[Big Tim]

we finish 5th or 6th, need to avoid Wigan in the semi, as they are the best of the rest and take our chance on the 24th May. Sean Morrison to score the 60 million pound goal in extra time. I'm already having nightmares regarding our relegation form in the Prem next season.

wishful thinking
