Reading are now with Derby at 33-1. Wednesday down to 20-1 after last nights capitulation, so Leeds are clearly the main threat at 10-1.

Leeds have turned it around very quickly, they were absolute shite at the end of last season and the beginning of this.
Apart from having a decent manager again, at last, what else has changed? Have they had a big influx of players? Players coming through the Youth setup or just that they had good players but a new shit manager every 35 days or so holding them back.

In part 1 you voted for Derby though
In part 1 you voted for Derby though
Indeed I did. But we weren't miles ahead of them by then and they were on a great run.

Promotion to the Premier League for Newcastle United and Brighton, play-off nerves for Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday, Derby and Reading, and relegation for Burton, Wigan and Rotherham.
These are the conclusions of SAM (Sports Analytics Machine), the super-computer built by Ian McHale, professor of sports analytics at the University of Salford, together with his colleague Dr Tarak Kharrat.

2nd spot under threat from Leeds as we stand-
1st seems to be Newcastle-
However.....

The silence is deafening this transfer window.........

Punching WAY above our weight financially as always. But again, as always, our TEAM SPIRIT is second to none and will take us far further than we have logically any right to expect.
Make no mistake, this is one special squad of players. Would be horrible to see it dismantled and asset-stripped without it getting it's due rewards, both individually and collectively.
Tho Tony Bloom and Dick Knight and Martin Perry deserve it FAR more.

True but on last night's showing I'm not sure that I mind all that much. What we have in team spirit is very special indeed and not something that can be enhanced by the waft of a cheque book.

You just always LOVE to start an argument in an empty room. Same as it ever was. You're just a wee bit special. BLESS.

Obviously if we keep going as we have then we'll get 100 points and other teams won't matter, but it's possible we could have some injuries, have some poor refereeing decisions go against us, play below par etc, and finish with say 88 points. That might be enough, it might not. So which opposing team (as well as Newcastle) is most likely to finish on more points than say 88?

Based on the whole season thus far, none. Based on form since the conclusion of the summer transfer window, Leeds United and possibly Reading. From the start of October, a better barometer, Leeds United (Derby County are still saddled by their poor start).
But stats and the Second Division don't mix well.
