Loderingo Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I did the BBC predictor. Anyone think they can do better? In hindsight I may have been a bit optimistic with City and Reading and a bit harsh on Cardiff and Blackpool Newcastle 98 WBA 92 Notts F 81 Swansea 75 Leicester 72 Reading 70 Cardiff 68 Boro 67 Sheff U 65 Donny 64 City 64 Coventry 63 QPR 59 Ipswich 59 Blackpool 57 Barnsley 57 Preston 56 Derby 55 S****horpe 49 Palace 47 Sheff W 47 Watford 46 Plymouth 44 Petrborough 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economou Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not really related to your predictor but yesterday was browsing through a QPR fanzine written pre-season and their predicted final table was as follows; 1. WBA 2. Sheff Utd 3. Cardiff 4. Preston 5. QPR 6. Reading 7. Boro 8. Ipswich 9. City 10. Derby 11. Leicester 12. Forest 13. Palace 14. Newcastle 15. Sheff Wed 16. Barnsley 17. Donny 18. Peterborough 19. Watford 20. Swansea 21. Blackpool 22. Scunny 23. Coventry 24. Plymouth Interesting how they thought Newcastle would struggle, must admit I thought they would also.

Magicdaps Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, must admit I thought Newcastle would struggle a little this season, however thats a relative statement as when I say struggle I mean in or just outside the play off's, not bottom half. I'd be happy with either of those tables btw ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ison Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Here's my slap dash effort whilst trying to steer clear of uni work: Top 6: Newcastle 102 Baggies 93 Forest 88 Swansea 79 Leicester 78 Cardiff 70 Had City in 13th place at the end of the season with 59 points and -14 GD Bottom 3: Plymouth 44 Sheff Weds 43 Peterborough 32 I wasn't aware of it at the time but it seems i'm predicting Sheff Weds to crash and burn!

redcityman Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Did mine Monday. I too have Sheffield Wednesday to drop down, looking at their fixtures I would hazard they have if not the hardest, one of the hardest run ins of all the teams fighting to stave off relegation. Can see it being one of the lowest points totals to stay up for a long time. As for us maybe I have underestimated our results, but then again maybe the confidence has been eroded by the consistant throwing away of points this season, Reading I believe are too late to mount a charge to the playoffs. Palace V Wednesday on the final day will not be fun for both sets of supporters. Newcastle 102 West Brom 92 ................................... Leicester city 81 Nottingham Forest 79 Swansea City 77 Cardiff City 72 ....................................

Milo Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 OK, there was a fair slice of optimism used in my predictions here and my predicted final table is a definite long shot. But Swansea have won just one of their last 8, Blackpool have to play both Forest and us in their last three games, Middlesbrough have to play West Brom and Leicester in their last three, and while Reading have two games in hand with one of them against Newcastle it's feasible they'll get no more than 11 points from their last 15 available. Always believe. Newcastle 102 West Brom 95 ----------------- Forest 82 Leicester 76 Cardiff 74 Bristol City 68 ----------------- Blackpool 67 Reading 67 Swansea 67 Sheff Utd 63 Middlesbrough 62 Tuesday 13th Reading draw with Newcastle Saturday 17th Blackpool draw home to Forest Reading beat Peterboro Scunny lose to City Swansea draw home to Barnsley West Brom beat Boro Tuesday 20th Scunny lose to Reading Saturday 24th City beat Derby Boro draw with Coventry Peterboro lose to Blackpool Sheff Utd beat Swansea Watford draw with Reading Sunday 2nd May Blackpool lose to City Leicester beat Boro Reading beat Preston Swansea draw with Donny BBC Predictor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 A nice dream, in a perfect world. Personally i'd fear the worst for our Club, if we were to go up via the play off's...however remote. Newcastle and WBA have a remote chance of staying up next year. But whoever goes up via the Play offs, imo, aren't nearly good enough for the Premier League.In the long run, it becomes very unstabling for such clubs. Fans expectations become too high, wages too high, journeyman overated pros brought in, managers get sacked or are under constant pressure...the list goes on. Hopefully Burnley can prove me wrong, but in general this is the case. For me, I would want City to go up automatically by dominating the Championship and winning it in superior style. With a set of players that are Premier League quality and a manager that knows what it needs to stay up in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Swansea getting 2 draws and a defeat Drawing vs Barnsley and Doncaster and losing away at Sheff Utd and us winning all 3 is enough for us to just squeeze in! Stranger things have happened.. edit - image didn't show up, but it showed us in 6th place with 68 and Swansea in 7th with 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think it may take 2 seasons at the least for this two happen, next season for the new man to come in and consolidate, building the team, and the season after for a real promotion push, like GJ's 1st two seasons here.
