    ...every team maintains their current form since 1st January (when Flicker took over). I've done it on points per game, included games in hand and tried to sort it by goal difference as well. Rounded to the nearest point.

    Our current form is 1.92 ppg (best in the championship) meaning we'll pick up another 17 (17.28) points.

    We'll finish with 61 points above Birmingham on goal difference, just one point behind Leeds and 7 clear of relegation. Those that are currently in the relegation zone will get relegated with Blackpool having a lucky escape. It's seriously congested with 7 teams within a point of each other, 2/3 points above the drop. Could be an interesting final day of the season but we'll already be safe by then!

    1. Cardiff-----------91
    2. Watford---------81
    =============
    3. Hull--------------80
    4. Palace-----------78
    5. Brighton-------- 73
    6. Forest-----------73
    =============
    7. Leicester--------70
    8. Bolton-----------68
    9. Leeds------------62
    10. Barnsley--------61
    11. Birmingham----61
    12. Burnley---------59
    13. Middlesbrough 58
    14. Derby-----------57
    15. Charlton--------57
    16. Wednesday----57
    17. Blackburn ------56
    18. Millwall---------56
    19. Ipswich---------56
    20. Huddersfield---56
    21. Blackpool ------54
    ==============
    22. Peterborough--54
    23. Wolves---------51
    24. Bristol----------49

    It won't end up like that but we can always hope :)

    I think we will finish 3rd from bottom because of two basic reasons

    Golbourne and Stones

    No team in this division can expect to fully recover after losing such highly gifted players

    It's been ages since we lost both of them. We've done alright since.

    As a left back, I think Kennedy is just as good as Golbourne.

    I agree. We have played nine league games without Stones, and six league games without Golbourne. I'm not saying they were not important players for us, but we have done alright without them as well, and we are still the top team in the Championship in 2013 (only 3 points behind Watford, but with two games in hand).
