If that was how the table finished then Albion's last 5 games of the season could well be Derby, Boro, Derby, Derby, Boro.
Can we play you every week indeed.

Thanks Hull in dropping 2 points last night. My predictions are now:
Burnley 92
Hull 87
Middlesbrough 86
BHA 85
Derby 80
Sheffield W 76
BHA v Sheff w - day out at Wembley ........ ?

Brighton get 17 pts from the last 9 games? Althoguh Hull get 22 pts from 10 games. really can't see that.
I think we'll do the following MKD W(3), Burnley L(0), Birmingham D(1), Forest W(3), Fulham W(3), QPR D(1), Charlton W(3), Derby W(3) and finally Boro D(1) = 18 pts and don't think Hull will get close to 22, so maybe we squeak it!

3 Middlesbrough 46 +29 86
4 Brighton 46 +20 85
5 Sheff Wed 46 +26 79
6 Derby 46 +14 74
But that's with Hull winning six of their last seven, which they won't do.

Hard to argue with this. My current prediction is that we'll finish somewhere between 2nd and 4th, with the top six having the kind of points totals that [MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION] indicates.

The opposite view is that one of 'Boro and Hull need a big form turnaround or we are in the box seat. I think we have been value in the market for a while now.

Accepted Hull do have the easiest run-in on paper, but you would have thought that 'Boro would have a cast iron 4 points minimum from their recent games against Rotherham and Charlton and they got sweet FA.
A lot more twists and turns before this beauty of a season is over...

Current prediction. So, so close!
They do need to turn it around, but there's every chance they can. We'll be in 3rd at the end of Friday, so not quite the box seat.
Maybe, but that doesn't mean we should be shorter odds than Hull or 'boro. We have a lot of tough games.
Yes we expected 'boro to do better, and yes there will be more twists to come.
I'm still delighted by last night's two results, but the truth is we're still likely to miss out on the top two places.

My predictions remain the same. Go to the wire when we have to beat Boro and hope Burnley slip up and only draw their last home match.
Hull v Boro down as a draw and a win at MK Dons does not change anything. And we've got to win all our home games.
We've got top pick up two points from somewhere. I've got us down as a loss at Birmingham, so maybe there? Still have beat Boro though. But that's a sporting chance.

They have to play Boro and Derby away. Leeds, Bristol City and Rotherham at home. That's five tough games out of ten.

I have us finishing 3rd, a point behind Hull in 2nd - isn't that exactly the same scenario as Poyet's final season in charge?
