Touch_my_butter Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 A mini-league is developing at the foot of the championship table, with 6 teams noticeably worse than the rest of the pack (both in points scored and goal difference). The question is: Where will we finish out of these six strugglers? I feel assured that any 3 of them will be beneath us come May, but would be surprised if these weren't the same six come season's end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daored Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I would include Leeds in the group, as I think they will be dragged into the fight to stay up. A complete unstable club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if Preston aren't dragged into it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I still think we'll finish above all of that lot. A gap of 4 points or more with 26 games to go is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Feels good when you look at that graphic, as I fancy us to finish higher than all the teams currently below us. Whatever happens from here to the end, I reckon we'll finish about 15th. But if you had asked me after Blackburn, I would've said 21st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Think it will be a low total this year needed for survival, could even be as low as 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Agree, think you're looking at mid 40's this season for survival too many teams with poor first halves to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loderingo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 For me the bottom 3 will be: Bolton - can't see them getting out of it as even if they get taken over, they will be stuck with overpaid dross and will struggle to recruit in the window. Rotherham - 21st last season. Smallest team in the division Huddersfield - Terrible form; relatively inexperienced foreign manager; 3rd smallest crowds in the division I think MK will just survive but then get relegated next year. Charlton might pick up when they get a new manager. Not sure why they are struggling as they were solid mid table last year. Think we'll get a few additions in the window (or loans) and will be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
