Birmingham's next 2 games are QPR away and Hull at home. Whilst I wouldn't go as far as to stay it's make or break, those 2 games will go a long way to showing if they can stay up with the pace.

I have us down as 4th place on GD, losing out on autos on the last day at Boro because Hull and Burnley both get last day wins....would be gutting as we'd have Derby in the playoffs again too :/
So in your predictions you think that the top 6 will lose only once between them between now and the end of the season? That's crazy.
also you have Hull vs Sheff wed as a draw and a loss so it could potentially be two loses. Even so that wont be the case.

There are a lot more twists and turns to come. Middlesbrough lost to Bristol City, for example.

Surely Derby would be the best available option for the playoffs anyway?!

I worked it out with us finishing on 91 points that to me is very possible, and that my friends makes automatic and number two

strong and stable with me, or...
Woohooo I got the same, but didn't want to put my neck on the line!

Realistically yes, but after last time it fills me with more worry and could for some of he players too? Maybe I'm reading into it too much.
Either way I was very 'draw heavy' with the predictions of our games, it really is anyone's guess!

Yep, just apprehensive after last time.
Although I don't know who I'd rather we got between Weds
and Derby.

In my forecast - Boro have a bit of a shocker against us, Hull and Burnley.They end up finishing 4th behind Burnley in 3rd and the Mighty Albion in 2nd place.
My feeling too.
FWIW, I reckon that Hull will be a bit derailed by the cup and stumble in the next couple of weeks but still recover to win it.
I had us as 4th
Brighton 92
Hull 91
'Boro 88
Burnley 84
Sheff Wed 82
Derby 81
Hull 91
'Boro 88
Burnley 84
Sheff Wed 82
Derby 81

This, quite clearly, is nuts. By which I mean, you're suggesting that the top three will have 293 points collectively. I'm confident that they will have at least 20 points fewer than you're predicting, and maybe even 30. Feel free to bounce and call me nuts in early May.

Have to beat burnley, sheff wed and Derby all at home to have any chance.
Said couple weeks ago we will need 90 (or even 91) points for second due to our goal difference and still stand by this.
Hull will win the league with about 94 points, burnley and boro on 89/90 points.

My feeling as well - need 30 points at least and that assumes we beat Burnley and Boro . 30 out of 39 is going to be very tough though, just under a 76% hit rate. Howver to be optimistic we have achieved 75.2% in last 7 games.

How about, starting with this Friday against Sheffield Wednesday and then:-
Birmingham - away
M'boro - away
Derby - away
Reading - away
All potential banana skins (OK Reading is a bit iffy)

The maximum points total that Hull can get is 105 points, so that means Hull will win 13 and draw 1 of their remaining 14 games!!! Don't see that happening when they have got to play Wednesday at home, Boro, Derby and Birmingham away...
