[Albion] NSC Confidence Test: Which position do you think we will finish in?

[AmexRuislip]

I'm not going through all that again with the playoffs, losing out to a team who weren't massively up for it in the first place.
2nd place for me

 

[BUTTERBALL]

First #Confident

 

[Rugrat]

2nd but we need to up our game straight away - I don't see much help coming from the competition. Think we'll need 90+ points too

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Despite my personal wobble, things will be clearer by Feb 28, I still say 2nd.

 

[Napier's Knee]

Huddersfield are last year's Burnley
We are last year's Boro
Newcastle are last year's Hull, but unlike Hull will lose in the play off final to Reading

He says with complete misguided confidence

 

[GT49er]

We are last year's Boro.......................

What, as I just needing a point from the last game of the season to secure 2nd. place?





Cue for an end of season gig at Villa Park for a certain Complete and Utter Shyster then...................................

 

[Eeyore]

23rd

With 65 points ? I don't think that's possible.

 

[Petee]

With 65 points ? I don't think that's possible.

Probably not but that is the lowest team that could catch us.

 

[Ernest]

Last years BLIP was Middlesbrough L Brentford D Ipswich L Wolves L Rotherham L and we haven't gone 3 matches this season without a win so as long as the home form stands up we will be in the shake up at the end for the top 2, whether we do it is another matter

 

[*Gullsworth*]

I hope with the seasons form we will be second......BUT.....Huddersfield will have to tail off and soon. I think and hope they will have a blip, if they don't they will easily beat us to second place.

 

[Eeyore]

Probably not but that is the lowest team that could catch us.

That equation doesn't include the match grids of the teams below. They all have to drop points against themselves. I'd say worst scenario is about 14th.

 

[studio150]

Who are the 2 jokers that have voted for 7th or lower?

I've gone for 1st as I'm feed up with the play-offs, and we will need as much time as possible to improve the squad.

 

[LowKarate]

I still think 2nd, but whether that is behind Newcastle or Huddersfield I do not care.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

3rd.

Newcastle and us are having a bit of a wobble.
Huddersfield are having a hot streak.
All of these situations could continue for the rest of the season but are unlikely to.

Huddersfield have a very similar run of games to us.
Newcastle's is considerably harder.

Having taken this into consideration,
I have plumped for 1st.

This is based on the similarities with last year.

I think we have the experience now to cope with the run in better, We are well placed and in Hughton have a manager who knows what is required. I expect the experience of last year and a reasonable run in, will enable us to manage each situation as it comes and get the points needed....Similar to Burnley last year.
Newcastle have the best squad and are firm favourites. I think their wobble will continue all season, but their superior squad will see of the upstarts pushing for third.... Boro
Huddersfield, find themselves unexpectedly in the mix and are playing out of their skins. A strong sense of togetherness is a big part of this... Us last year


Probably wrong, but I need to cling to something to stop me joining the bed wetters.
Composure is what is needed right now

How are Newcastle United having a 'wobble' ? Unbeaten in six (four wins) 26 points from their last 12 matches. I'd hate to see them come into form.

Probably begins in Palarse and ends in trolls

The fact they are only 1 point above us would suggest their recent 2 draws and 2 defeats have meant they've failed to break clear at the top. Which is what everyone expects.

 

[knocky1]

Position predicted. Flat on our backs, exhausted but triumphant.

A wobble doesn't mean an implosion..
It means not really getting the results you expect to be getting and starting to look a bit vulnerable.

Their last 6 have been pretty tame opposition tbf. The one before that was a loss to Blackburn.

I think 14 points is probably below target for them in games against Blackburn, Rotherham, QPR, Norwich, Derby, Wolves, Brentford.
Good enough for 2nd granted, but not the form of the red hot favourites.






A wobble.. Ok better than our wobble. But enough to make the chasing pack think there's a chance they might blow top spot.
