If we were in Fulham or Boro’s place right now, 8 or 9 points back of second with 18 games left how confident would we be of getting promoted automatically? I get that Fulham especially have had a very good run and have put themselves back into contention. But will they sustain it? I’d much rather be where we are with points in the bag and our sails full of wind.

Fulham will be targeting play offs more.

The odds to gain promotion at the moment are....wolves 1/20...derby. ..evens....villa 7/4.....a lot of money lately has come in for Fulham who are now 11/2.

Fulham are a big concern

They’d struggle to get second but it’s not impossible. And I really wouldn’t fancy facing them in the playoffs

Here's Fulham run of fixtures from Mid February:

Fulham- Aston Villa
Bristol City0 Fulham
Fulham-Wolves
Derby-Fulham
Fulham-Sheffield United
Preston-Fulham

Think the bookies would give you odds of 2,0000000,0000-1 they win all those games.

Would be nice if they took points off Derby though.

Can see Fulham beating Wolves, too.

second is ours, next three games Derby , Millwall A,  Brentford  H ,  Norwich  h.  after that run we will be above them.

Derby should be pretty confident of 7 points from that run

Those that predicted 2nd must be feeling even more confident now

I think Derbyby then would be comfortably 4th. We need to see of Fulham by twatting them in a couple of weeks.

I agree Fulham are on form at the moment, they are the ones to beat.

Two seasons ago Burnley won the championship. Having spent most of the first half of the season around the play off places they lost for the last time on Boxing Day, remaining unbeaten for the rest of the season and going on to finish top.

Just saying.

Second or third. But as we know there is a massive difference between the two.

Second is the minimum expectation now.

I really thought wolves were there to be caught but they keep skanking these crappy 1 -0 wins that makes it impossible to close the gap.

Fill your boots with this one. Basically, we have a 17 game season against Derby and Cardiff. Whoever gets the most points gets second. For the record, Fulham need to do over 2 points per game for the remainder of the season to make an impression on second.

Bloody hell, you're right, still can't get used to us being the form team.

A draw wouldn't be a bad thing. Avoid defeat and that leaves them a lot to do to overtake us.
