Vs Other Play off Contenders

Was just interested on how we and other teams have got on against each other this season, included just Blackpool from outside play offs at moment at I cant see any other team catching up,

P Gd Pts
Leicester 8 0 15
Cardiff 8 1 10
Swansea 8 -4 10
Blackpool 7 3 9
Forest 7 0 8

With Forest and Blackpool still to play each other one more time at Blackpool, Leicester sit top of this but are in the last play off place and Forest sit bottom of this but lie 3rd and the highest of all play off contenders. If we took Blackpool out of this then Swansea would lie top of this then Leicester, Cardiff and Forest respectively. Again Forest sitting out the bottom of this table, however with 2 teams on 9 points and 2 teams on 8 points this year play offs could really be a tough one to call. If these were play offs over 2 legs Cardiff would have gone through against Swansea and Leicester despite losing twice and winning twice but would have gone to extra time with Forest and Blackpool. I think if Swansea make the play offs they will struggle as they do not score enough goals and there away record against all of these teams is poor not winning one of them. Forest could be difficult but beatable, on this evidence i think Leicester or Blackpool could come up as the toughest opposition but both beatable for City. Obviously we have to get to the play offs first was just looking ahead.
I think the play offs will finish off at they are now but with Cardiff finishing 3rd and playing Leicester and Forest playing the Jacks. Could be a very interesting Final.

Come on City!!!

The playoffs this year will be very interesting because all teams, except Forest, are hitting form again. Usually only 1 or 2 of the potential candidates are and it's more often than not the off form team that goes up.

Over two legs I can see us beating any of them, but I'd like to avoid Forest and Swansea. My prediction would suggest it'll be Forest vs Swansea and us vs Leicester. I don't think Swansea have enough fire power to finish above Leicester. In fact, I'm going to do the BBC predictions now!

I'm sure Forest beat the jack conts at the liberty X stadium ;)

So that would put the jacks at the bottom of that table :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
