BessexRED Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 That time of the season where you start to see a few table predictions being done, saw a few on Facebook this morning so had a go myself. Must admit I thought I was being quite harsh on City/Derby but to miss out on 76 points would be a gut wrencher. https://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-championship/ - link if you fancy having a go.

elhombrecito Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Here's mine. And I was actually quite cautious with City's results. One thing it did show me though, as I was going through the results, was just how many tough games our rivals have too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Think we may just get edged out, but I am intending to enjoy the ride. Problem with most of these predictors is that in isolation, you would always tip a top side to beat one near the bottom. There will always be shocks, just do not know in what games. I would be surprised if 76 points is not enough, and shocked if seven teams finish with 50 or less points. I ended up with something similiar, and again had us in 7th.

Bar BS3 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I get that these things pass half an hour and fill some of the void time in between games, but they are utterly pointless. If it was possible to predict 1 round of fixtures results, then you’d win a lot of money, let alone the results from 13-15 fixtures that teams have left..! The simple fact is we don’t know..! We look very likely to improve on last season’s finish, again. It is currently in our hands, which is a big plus. We do however have about as tough a run in as could be possible! I think the next 3-5 games are pivotal for us. Come out of those still in the top 6 and we have every chance of making the play offs. Win all of them and we may be in with a shout of automatic places. If we lose to Norwich, then we need to bounce back with a win ASAP and not let any losing run start to stretch to 3+ games.

Spike Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I don't think I was too kind to us, I think I was fair with all results so I was pleasantly surprised to see this table. I'll probably be way off though so expect us to drop to 11th again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 @BessexRED & @elhombrecito - Do Preston have some really favourable fixtures or something? Both of you have them going on absolutely storming runs. Hombre, you haven't got them losing a single game! 8 wins and 5 draws in their final 13 matches!

cidercity1987 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'll be surprised if we just sneak into the play offs, either continue this barnstorming run into challenging for automatics, or drift away to 10th or something. No inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really give any of the results much thought, just went on my instant gut reaction, so probably very much influenced by their recent good form. On reflection, I've just checked their fixtures and they have us, Sheffield United and Leeds at home and Blackburn, Middlesbrough, West Brom and Brentford away... So god knows how I didn't find a defeat in that lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we bottle it, or did we just miss out? I had City to beat Derby and draw with Hull. Obviously it's hard to gauge what the circumstances will be, I went for a 1-1 up there but if I was told we needed 3 points up there to confirm our playoff place I'd probably go with something different. 22 minutes ago, Coxy27 said: @BessexRED & @elhombrecito - Do Preston have some really favourable fixtures or something?

I didn't notice it particularly but I think Preston's position is false, also Brentford's. Preston's season has been ruined by attacking injuries and Brentford have had disruption with Smith leaving. I'd be surprised if both don't finish top half I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just pointing out how variable the standings can end up, with results being just slightly different to those input. I know it’s a bit of fun and I know it’s likely to be highly inaccurate, but I can’t help being pissed off when it says we will finish 7th..!

No-one's forcing you to read it. Just a bit of fun to pass some time at work this morning and the results are interesting and sometimes funny to look back on come May.

JBFC II Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Got us down to finish 6th, on 78 behind Villa on goal difference but 6 points clear of Swansea in 7th. Derby to drop to 9th, only picking up 7 more points. Norwich and Sheffield United to go up as top 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
