Who do you consider Brighton's biggest rival for second spot?

It's a straight out fight between the top five. The next three aren't completely out of the equation -- as they've got extremely strong squads -- but they'll have to win 14 in the case of, and 15 in the case of Derby and Norwich. I don't think any of their managers are good enough to do that.
Newcastle are guaranteed nothing. There are clearly tensions between Benitez and Ashley's hierarchy. The squad doesn't look that together either, and they have been over-dependent on Shelvey and Gayle. Although I wish they'd all go away, and swiftly, Huddersfield, Reading and Leeds have shown their quality and confirmed what an open, exciting league this is. It's going to be a hairy ride.
I agree with all of this. In terms of Newcastle I think they have the toughest run in of all the 5. They have 3 away games in a week against BHA, Huddersfield and Reading, from Feb 28 and that can't have gone unnoticed at SJP! I'm hoping those 3 games shove them back into the pack and if Gayle stays out that could well happen

We are the only 1 of the top 5 to have played fewer home than away games.
Only 3 of our remaining 8 away games are against teams currently in the top half

Where is Newcastle?
It's in Tyne and Wear.
Huddersfield for me.

This. And Derby third. The two dead certainties now not to achieve top two backed by 60% of respondents. What do you have to say for yourselves?

Nah, we just need to get good. The votes were all at the same time between games, and the poll options were in table position order.

Maybe not such a bad shout: http://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/brighton/league/predicted. Now, what about the Villa and Derby lovers?

Whoever compiled that doesn't think much of Hudds. It predicts them having a meltdown away from home - draw at Rotherham, lose at Bristol and Forest etc.. You'd get decent odds on that as a treble...
