    What's everyone's predictions for the top 6?

    Newcastle stepped up to the plate over the last week, whilst Brighton had a bit of a wobble so still have it all to do.

    Out of play off places I can't see much changing between now and end of season, maybe with the exception of Fulham sneaking in there, but at who's expense I haven't a clue.

    If Fulham do make the playoffs, I would fancy them to go all the way.

    What's everyone's thoughts?

    As is really. Think Brighton will hold onto 2nd.

    I see Fulham as that team that could gatecrash the top 6, although they still have to play Leeds and Norwich. Their final game of the season is against Sheff W. Both Reading and Wednesday are probably close enough for one of them to be caught.

    Would be just hilarious if Wednesday missed out on the last day and finished 7th or 8th

    Even if they got in there along with leeds and Huddersfield, someone is going to disappointed.

    At least one of them is going out at the semi final stage.

    I can see only Fulham breaking into the top six now, probably taking the place of Wednesday. If they play like we know they can then I can see them winning the play-offs.

    I hope they do. I also think that Wednesdays signing of Rhodes will be dependant on which league they're in next season.

    Mixed feelings about Wednesday though. As much as I'd like to see them fail, I'd rather not have to play them next season as they are so spawny against us.

    11 points behind. 1 win in 6. I'd say we are.

    Target now is finish in top half.

    We played really well in Saturday, hence the standing ovation at the end


    We still have a really good chance,

    We always knew this run of games would be tough, after tomorrow we have a run of winnable games, if we can get a couple of wins and some momentum going the Playoffs are not impossible though I don't think we will make them I do think we will finish top 10 though.
    Dont expect any points at QPR as we never get anything there

    Think the top 2 will be Newcastle and Brighton

    The playoffs will be Reading Huddersfield and Leeds for sure
    Fowls may drop out to be replaced by Fulham, Norwich or ( in my dreams )us

    I'm not saying we didn't. But the fact is we lost and we are now 11 points away from Leeds. Our form is hit and miss at best with 1 win in the last 6.

    It would be amazing if we made it but I think a top half finish is more realistic but still challenging.

    Well, for a start, as much as we might not like it, Wednesday are 5th so unlikley to drop out. We might well have "winnable" fixtures on paper but these are against sides scrapping for their lives. This could work in our favour as these teams may have to go for it to beat us but we have also only scored 5 in the last 6 too, with three of these in one game at Villa.

    We have the following left to play;
    QPR (a) L
    Ipswich (h) d
    Norwich(a) L
    Fowls (h) W
    Cardiff (h) L
    Blackburn (a) L
    Wigan (a) D
    Brentford (h) W
    Bristol (a) W
    Burton (h) D
    Newcastle (a) L

    61 points would be a good return and see us about 12th.

    Just three wins from that run of fixtures?

    I'd fancy us against Ipswich, Cardiff, Blackburn, Wigan, Brentford, Bristol and Burton.

    I'd have us down for 9 wins from the remaining fixtures. Which would give us 77points. So we still have a bit of wiggle. Room

    Looks about right to me though we won't beat the fowls we never do.

    9 wins?! It's pointless debating with you as nothing you post is grounded in reality.

    Yes as those teams are scrapping for their lives (Burton, Blackburn, Wigan) or are teams that will be stronger than us. (Others barring Bristol)

    We have proved we are capable. Of beating any one on our day?

    Qpr w
    Ipswich w
    Norwich. L
    Blackburn w
    Wigan w
    Bristol. W
    Brentford w
    Burton w
    Cardiff. W
    Wednesday. W

    None of which are beyond. The realms. Of possibility
