Play Off Contenders' Run Ins - Who will get 6th place?

[Thunder Bolt]

Looking at the fixtures left, I think Ipswich will be there.

 

[Luke93]

Honestly, I can see anything happening :/

 

[Seagull58]

Reading have to drop 6 points and one of the others win all 6 games for them to be overtaken (ignoring goal difference). Can't see it happening. Even for Reading to lose 3 and one of the others win 5 out of 6 is unlikely .Even more unlikely for it to be us. I think it was just about decided on Saturday when Reading got their second goal and we spent 94 minutes passing the ball around in pretty triangles.

Yes, it'll be Reading.

The long shot for us requires both a win over Leicester, and Bounemouth to beat Reading.

 

[Husty]

Not us.

 

[Grombleton]

We've made it incredibly hard for ourselves, but one of the joys of this division is that it's incredibly hard to predict. I didn't imagine that Forest would implode quite as badly as they have, nor did anyone expect Bournemouth to come up sharp on the outside as they have.

I doubt we will make them, but i didn't expect that at the start of the season - i said top 10 and i'll still take that.

Last night changes everything.

Albion to get 6th

Very prescient - well done!

Albion to get 6th

Hope this is too!

Sound's crazy but I wouldn't count on QPR and Wigan being safe in the top 6...

QPR look safe - they only need 2 wins and a draw. Agree with you on Wigan though, they need 3 wins and a draw to be certain, but have Reading, Burnley and Blackburn still to play.

Talking of Blackburn, don't rule them out. Just 2 points behind us, their run-in list looks kind:

Sheff Wed V Blackburn
Blackburn V Yeovil
Birmingham V Blackburn
Charlton V Blackburn
Blackburn V Wigan

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Each set of matches seems to bring a different scenario. On Saturday, Reading's win at Charlton seemed pivotal, as they had opened up a five point gap to 7th place. With BHA going to Leics, Blackburn playing QPR and Ipswich travelling to Huddersfield, last night seemed set up for Reading and Wigan to rubber stamp their play off positions. Wigan at home to Millwall looked eminently winnable and Readings away form suggested they were capable of at least a draw at Bournemth.
Well its all change again, with Reading now looking over their shoulder and even Wigan ( who seemed nailed on ) only six points clear.
I'm sure it will all look different again come this weekend, especially with Wigan not playing at all and Reading entertaining Leicester on Monday.

 

[rcf0712]

with any luck Leicester will be out for blood on Monday and beat Reading!

 

[Mackenzie]

Wigan have got some difficult games and a cup semi to contend with. They could well wobble.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Optimistic. I think we'll finish 11th.

Turns out I was being pessimistic

Us.
