Southampton, Reading and West Ham are fighting for the 2 auto's, that's plain, but there are 3 (THREE) points between the next 6 clubs, that's 3 positions between 6 clubs (50% chance). There are 10 games left, who here laughed at those gif's of that Man City fan and are crying now with 10 games to go??
Yes, a late surge could move the likes of Leeds or Leicester into the mix, but just look at those 6 clubs.
3 teams have 11 games remaining, 3 10. The teams with 11 games 2 have 6 away and 5 home, 1 (Smogs) have only 4 home games left.
Middlesborough have to travel to Birmingham, West Ham, Ipswich, Brighton, Hull, Derby and Watford !!!! They also have to host us and Southampton.
Brighton have to travel to Blackpool, Forest, Burnley, West Ham and Barnsley, some hard ones there, they also host Middlesborough, Reading and Birmingham.
Hull travel to Palace, Leicester, Portsmouth, Millwall, Watford and west Ham and host Southampton and Middlesborough.
Birmingham travel to Portsmouth, Donny, Burnley, West Ham, Ipswich and Brighton and host amongst others, Middlesborough, us and Reading.
That leaves us and Blackpool, arguably with the easiest of run-ins of the 6, both with only 4 away games.
Blackpool only have Reading amongst the aways and at home only face Southampton, Leicester and Leeds in the top half.
We have difficult trips to Birmingham and Middlesborough and only Leeds of any note to play at home!!!
It is still there for us, so no more despondency and get behind the boys..
