Of course this can vary during a season depending on form but I reckon we've done 3 of the current 6

QPR, Reading, Leeds

The others, imo, are Watford, Leicester and Nottingham Forest. Just maybe Wigan might edge Leeds out of the top 6

Fair?

Wigan have had a tough time at home this year haven't they, Middlesbrough and Donny both got draws there I think?

Not convinced by Leeds.

QPR, Reading, Watford, Wigan, Leicester. Can't make my mind up out of Blackpool or Ipswich for the last spot.

Blackpool? Based on what, current form? How is Blackpool away tougher than QPR, Wigan & Reading? Fair call on the others, although if you are basing on current form then Watford shouldn't be there

What makes a tough away game? And what order? Fans, stadium, quality of team, style of team play?

I think Charlton have slipped under everyone's radar, but they tend to do well at home.

Plus not many teams will fancy Yeovil away, but perhaps a completely different set of standards to judge that apart from the others.

Agree with this.

100% Blackpool. esp. when it's raining.

Chances of coming away with something better than a defeat first and foremost?

Blackpool in the shitting cold and rain, miles from home on that pitch will be horrendous. But then McCarthy is doing at Ipswich what he does so well wherever he goes - turning a Championship team into a hard team to beat and making the home ground a fortress.

isnt it too early to say? this time last year you might have put Wolves in such a list.

I don't think Leeds will finish much above mid table.

6 for me would be QPR, Reading, Forest, Leicester, Boro and Blackburn

Whooaaaa ... Bournemouth will be anything but easy. Average at best away, but great at home.

Not necessarily easy, but I think we'll win there - they'll play a game that suits our style, and the gap in terms of individual quality should see us get the win. Now I've said this, however...

Blackpool? Meh. They even got turned over by Millwall. Ince is their only threat, if he has a bad game they're mid table merchants IMO.
