NEWTONRED66 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think now most people believe it's down to the current top four for the two automatic places. Although you could also throw Hull into the mix still as outsiders considering they still have 10 to play.Here's a look at the remaining fixtures involving the top 4 clubs concerned. City (4 home 4 away) & Stoke (4 home 4 away) 8 games left each, Watford 9 (5 home 4 away) with WBA (5 home 6 away)having another 11 to go kicking off tonight against Palace. On paper looks like Stoke have the slightly easier run-in but as we all know that counts for nothing.There are plenty of tough fixtures awaiting all concerned with one or two standing out in particular.As you look down through this weekend Watford v Stoke followed by WBA visit to the Valley,a week later Watford away to Hull.Then there is WBA and Watford to play each other and a Black Country Derby to follow that and of course our trip to Stoke.We all know that clubs fighting relegation are probally harder to play against. There's obviously points going to be dropped and points won when least expected thats the beauty and excitement of the championship this season.Lets hope this marvellous journey continues with the road taken us all the way to the promised land.Wed 12th MarchWBA v PalaceSat 15th MarchCity v ArgyleWatford v StokeWBA v LeicesterFri 21st MarchCharlton v WBASat 22nd MarchCardiff v CityArgyle v WatfordStoke v BlackpoolSat 29th MarchCity v NorwichHull v WatfordSheff Wed v StokeWBA v ColchesterTue 1st AprilCardiff v WBASat 5th AprilSouthampton v CityWatford v CoventryMon 7th AprilStoke v PalaceTue 8th April Watford v BarnsleyBlackpool v WBASat 12th AprilCity v WolvesCoventry v StokeWBA v WatfordTue 15th AprilWolves v WBASat 19th AprilNorwich v WBAStoke v CityWatford v PalaceSat 26th AprilColchester v StokeSheff Utd v CityWatford v S****horpeWBA v SouthamptonSun 4th MayBlackpool v WatfordCity v PrestonQPR v WBAStoke v Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity we did not beat Leicester or Watford as that would have put a lot of pressure on them . Plymouth is a must now with Stoke and Watford sparring .

trundle wheel Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Worrying times!At start of season i would have thought i'd be worying about the run in to stay up, now its just great. Top of league, every game guaranteed a big one, and should we not quite make it, we've still been amazing and made play offs. I cant wait for the games...

chowie Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Not worried, I'm loving it, It's going to be tight what ever... There could quite possibly just 3 points between all 4 teams come the last game, but we sit in best spot right now. So May the 4th be with us. My predictionCity 83WBA 82Stoke 82Watford 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplyRed Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Whatever.Points in the bag are the most important - they still have to catch us.Wouldn't swap our position for anything right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 WBA's two games in hand are Cardiff away and Wolves at home, can't see them getting 6 points from those two with their inconsistency and that's the point inconsistency. At the start of the season most pundits look for an average 2 points per game for promotion and no one in this league is achieving that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edson Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 We've got a league calculator on the Net Centre:League CalculatorJust tick the 4 top teams and you only have to enter the results for those teams, rather than having to go through the whole lot.
