CheddarReds Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'd argue that no one is a certainty, but looking at where Huddersfield are right now you have to look at them as genuine contenders for not just the top 6, but also automatic. And to answer your question, I'd agree we are one of the clubs in contention, keep Tammy fit and our youngens learning I'm sure we will be sniffing around the top 6 come the end of the season. COYR!

Tipps69 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I would suggest that the only certainties for a top 6 place are Newcastle & Norwich as they have strength in depth & will spend in January to concrete their positions, the other positions are open to up to 10 teams I would suggest. More or less every team can beat anyone else & there will be plenty of points won & lost between now & the end of the season.

Davefevs Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Huddersfield could be out of the top six by the end of October. Unlikely, but confidence and momentum play a huge part in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A successful January transfer window will be vital for all clubs especially the loans. Be interesting to see what shape the league is in come xmas because i think we will see the big spenders making some good aquisitions and eventually the league will pan out much like we thought it would.

But there's only so many good players about & January will probably be a time when the desperate become more desperate & spend over the odds for very average players (because there won't be many good players available). Unless a fairly unknown foreign player becomes available. There certainly won't be a great deal of value for money to be had in the U.K. market unless it's moves for players running out of contract in the summer.

Meh Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think Norwich and Newcastle are most peoples 1, 2 so would love to finish above one of them - I just hope we really gel and reach even greater performance heights as teams are struggling to contain us. Could be one of the best seasons in years and I think half season tickets need to be pushed as take up may be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think I'm willing to put my neck on the line and say that 6 of the current top 24 will get in the top 6 with 2 of them being promoted.

LondonBristolian Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 At the moment the only teams I'd rule out of a top 6 finish with any confidence are Blackburn, Cardiff, Rotherham and probably Preston, Wigan and Burton. I reckon every other team will feel they could push for play-offs at least. Newcastle and Norwich look good but things change - remember when Derby looked unbeatable under McClaren until January and then collapsed and missed the play-offs for example? If we keep playing as we have been in the last three games then we've certainly got a chance at promotion but it's going to be a long haul and maintaining form isn't easy. Far too early to talk about promotion contenders with any more certainty than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
