Played play off chasing Brighton, then 2nd placed Burnley. Next is in form Bolton 1 loss in 9. Then Charlton is it 3 or 4 wins in 6. You watch Leeds get form against Blackpool and all but relegate us next Saturday.
No.......its something that should be given more thought...........a decent team could be relegated if the fixtures sequence went against them. Bolton is a prime example........they were near the bottom of the league at the start of the season..........teams playing them at that time would probably have won. Now they are winning most of their games. If a teams fixtures list dropped on every team that were going through a purple patch when they played them then that team would be in trouble at the end of the season. What are the chances of that? It must have happened more than once during the history of football. There maybe a mathematicians dissertation in there somewhere
