Part 1 was pretty interesting:

5 weeks on, as we have a little break, what do you think now?
I'll leave the choices the same, so that it's easy to compare with the original poll (so not option for Barnsley) and with Newcastle still odds on to finish top two I'll keep them out again. So as well as Newcastle, who do you currently consider our biggest threat for a top two place this season?

Reading are still the annoying monkey in the wrench.

I suppose Huddersfield, Leeds, Massive and Derby are also still in the mix.

Leeds v Derby and Derby v Reading to come very soon which could narrow down the pack a little.

I've still gone for Derby, the main reason being that I think Reading have been lucky with a lot of results. I also think Derby have a very good squad and have the potential to have a really good second half. 6 points behind Reading is not a huge amount

However, unless we implode I am struggling to see us not being top 2.

8 points clear of Reading with same games.
Then 8, 9, 12 and 14 points with a game in hand on the others.

Bloody hell. Writing that just seems unreal.

My crystal ball sees a small team that gets nowhere near us but would be, pedantically, our nearest rival to automatic promotion. I have excluded 2nd place Newcastle as the poll has chosen 2nd place for them.

I am still sticking with Sheff Wed but @Trigaaar must draw his attention to this post asking me if I was drunk when I posted the last time

Thumbs Up!

Reading, good resilience as well to comeback and win from two goals down.

Got to be Reading. We should've opened up a bit more of a gap on them by now, but they keep on matching us for results.

That's cool, so pick that small team, and if they finish 3rd, with the top 2 as they are, you win the internet.

I think it's looking like Reading.

(Still should be 'whom', by the way).
