4th and still in the second division come next season.

I'd love to call you miserable and tell you you're not a real fan because you're not backing the team, we'll win the play offs, blah, blah. But I actually think you're about right. Sadly, were running out of steam just when others are doing the reverse.

4th


I was convinced 2nd after the dingles but after two poor performances against two very average teams , I can see Fulham overtaking us.

Come on this is cheating....January 21st.

Let's have the August 2017 predictions.....

I thought 5th or 6th in early August and probably 12th late August!  Now I think we will get 2nd.

Yep, got excited after Wolves.  I think 3rd now.

I think probably fourth

But second is still a possibility for me

We just need to start winning games. And then around the time of the Cardiff game see how close we are. They’ve got a crazy spell of four games in twelve days from 2 April: Sheffield Utd (a) Wolves (h) villa (a) Norwich (a).

We’ve also got four games. But three are at home, including reading and Leeds which are not only over rated festivals but also two badly out of form sides (atm).

Obviously we’ll need to start winning again, Bruce will have to get better at using our undoubted squad strength and the fans will need to pull us through

But this is giving me hope

To finish in the top 2, the bookies have us 5/2, I would say we're more like 4/1. Don't want the dreaded 3rd spot, so I'm going for fourth.

Sorry, that's not right I don't think.  All the odds I've seen have us around 9/1 or 10/1 to finish top 2, the 5/2 is to get promoted I'd have thought, as that includes the possibility of the play offs.

I think it’s a myth that third is a dreaded position

In fact, 39.50% of the teams that have finished in the top play-off place across the three divisions have been promoted.

Only 21% of teams in the second play-off spot have been successful while those in the bottom two places go up 19.80% of the time.

63% of me wouldn't mind getting the wife's pants off but she is 100% asleep! Let's see how the chips fall re the play offs. We aren't done yet!

I'm still in the belief that we can do it it's a long shot but I'm still backing us for second spot until it's impossible to catch Cardiff.
