Who will take the four The Playoff Places ???

West Ham... Doubt they will win them too much pressure
Blackpool .... Good victory against Southampton, could they be the team to win them with the late run ???
Birmingham.. A couple of wins at the right time, not sure on them though ?

Then it's between Cardiff, Boro, Brighton and Hull imo........

To be honest it's their for the taking, we are hard to beat and if we can find a few goals I can see us making the late run, our fixtures remaining are one of the best.......fingers crossed

How do you see it going ???

So if it goes to plan

West Ham
Blackpool
Birmingham
Cardiff

All the pressure on West Ham, we beat them at home and draw one one up there in a lively little affair........

Blackpool beat Brum home and away and go into the final as favourites........

The playoff final Blackpool v Cardiff City
Revenge us sweet, we have a couple of lucky bounces in the box and a wonder strike free kick from Whitts, and the roles are reverersed.........Cardiff win three two........

But unlike them the malaysians pump in millions and the rest will be history..........

Agree with the top 3 you say and sadly for us, I think it will be Brighton in the last play off spot. They are in a fantastic run of form and seem to score vital goals when they need them though I can see Blackpool winning it again. I tipped Southampton at the start of the season to make the play offs but are they the best team in the division - not on the peformances against us.

We've taken four points off them, four off Brum, six off Reading, three off West Ham, so once again its the inconsistency especially against the lower placed teams that has cost us - Millwall - no goals scored and two points, Coventry two points, Peterborough three points and a two goals squandered up there with a couple of minutes to go, Burnley two points etc etc.

As much as I would love to see us at Wembley again, I think it is just beyond us now this season.

Good post, but have you seen their run in ???

Burnley V Brighton
Brighton V Reading
West Ham V Brighton
BrightonV Watford
Brighton V Birmingham
Barnsley V Brighton

Tough with Reading West Ham and Birmingham to play, I think they will fall just short....

Hmm - I hadn't seen it and thats tough alright but they tend to not lose their home games, so still think it will be them over us.

Ca'nt see us making it, while our strikers are firing blanks.
West Ham
Brum
Blackpool
Boro

Hammers
Brum
Blackpool
The winners out of us and boro. (a draw and it's boro for me)

Hate to say this but it wont be us this season - first time for years but rebuilding and all of that

We'll make them next season, too much expectation this season towards city. People were expectin man united from them or something, a few cheeky singings in the summer and a few changes that will freshen the boys up.
Play off contenders will be the likes of Brum, Blackpool, West ham, boro ,Hull or Brighton. City will fin between 7 - 12th which is still a very good season for us.

We have played crap for the last few months, but this is just the time we will get a few wins under our belt and sneak in 6th place. What is the point if you dont think they are going to win

wham
boro
brum
bpool

Think West Ham will sneak it IMO

3. Reading
4. Birmingham
5. Hull
6. Cardiff City

Reading 0-1 Cardiff
Cardiff 1-1 Reading

Play off final
CARDIFF 2-0 BIRMINGHAM

We'll beat West Ham in the Semi's and Blackpool in the final (3-2 would be the icing on the cake)

I think Reading have the most difficult IMO

Yes, thats why I think they'll slip out of the top 2 and end up 3rd, or even 4th

yeah me too
I think it will be

Reading
Blackpool
middlesbrough
Cardiff

We'll beat West Ham in the Semi's and Blackpool in the final (3-2 would be the icing on the cake)

3-0 would be better!

StT.

I just done the championship predictor and I got West Ham blackpool Brighton then Birmingham finishing in the playoffs with cardiff finishing in 7th outside the playoffs by a point.. If we beat Watford or Leeds at home then that gets us in the playoffs but are we gonna turn things around and start finding the back of the net time will tell???

ahem i think you are all forgetting watford!

quite clearly going to end up:

3. west ham
4. birmingham
5. brighton
6. watford

watford to beat brighton at wembley.

Seems mixed opinions on if we can make it.

Maybe the reduced expectancy this time can go in our favour?

Boro will be a massive game, fingers crossed we can win it they are not on great form either, keep the faith

It depends on sat game i think the winner will have the advantage

wham
boro
brum
bpool

agree with this, but we live in hope. a lot of f*cking hope!

I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham pipped Reading for the last automatic, its going to be touch or go between them.
Blackpool & birmingham look pretty likely.
And then either us or boro and it will go down to the last couple of games (as long as we can start scoring).

My guess...

Reading,
Birmingham
Blackpool
Cardiff (I live in hope....)
