Morning all.
I put a table like this together last year and you lot seemed to like it so doing it again now.
I've excluded Boro and Cardiff although a late run not impossible, and also omitted West Brom who look nailed on for top six.
We'll know more after the Easter weekend obviously but our end of the season looks brutal compared to Norwich, for example.
Going to be an exciting, but tense, few weeks. PUSB.

Otis · Mar 24, 2024

Sometimes it's tougher playing teams down the bottom and Norwich might find Birmingham, on the last day, a very tough ask.

Hopefully for us, QPR are safe by then

Viktor17 · Mar 24, 2024

we just go 1 at a time. 6 over Easter key, otherwise going to have to beat Leeds/saints.

we are going to have to win 6 I reckon

As you say, one game at a time, see where we are.

I just know the end of the season, it's hard to find any easy games.

Unless anyone is playing Rotherham of course.

Agreed

Gonna need a win Vs at least one of Leeds sofon hull or Ipswich

It’s tough - but momentum is huge - the semi final buzz should pull us through to then.

then hopefully if we are in position that carrot pushes us after.

we need the hull game moved to Wednesday or that’s a write off and grossly unfair.

If we reach 80/90% of wolves level that’s enough to beat most imo.

one thing I don’t want to see is chopping and changing again - full team let’s just go full beans and see where we get too.

I reckon we'll beat Ipswich and draw with Leeds.

We’d probably beat both of them then lose to QPR

You’ve missed off the cup final !!

Ashdown · Mar 24, 2024

I have us as finishing above Hull and Preston but just missing out to Norwich who have an easier run in . Mind you if you take my form and picks on a bookies coupon you wouldn’t listen to a word, I can jinx anyone.

Viktor17 · Mar 24, 2024

Key for Norwich is next 5, ignore Plymouth / next 4 are tough - so come 6pm on 13th we will have pretty clear idea I think.

this is how I see it. Norwich have a decent run in and we have the fa cup. Those two factors mean we will just miss out. It’s simply too many games in a month with our squad. But I would take a cup win over United over anything at this point. I would almost happily lose every league game if it meant winning the semi final.

Agreed, but also living in hope that the others slip up like last year. The squad depth has not really been solved although we only have the one loan.

People do slip up at this time of year.

The teams at the bottom are fighting like hell to survive. They can be the hardest sides to play against.

Colin Steins Smile · Mar 24, 2024

The number of fixtures in such a short period is a really big challenge for our squad. If the Hull games is not delayed by 24 hours it'll place us at a significant disadvantage.
I bet Hull won't want to change the date...it needs the EFL to step in and rule a need for a change of date.

Winning 6 is a bit excessive. Norwich have got Leciester, Ipswich and PNE in the next 5 games - that’s a tough run. Likewise, Hull have got some tough games.

2 wins over Easter puts us in good stead and it’s important to put up a point or two against Southampton and Leeds.

Having Leeds, Ipswich and Hull is to our advantage considering we’ve lost 2 games at home all season. Thankfully, Southampton’s form has dipped which makes it an away game we could pick up points from.

Plenty of twists and turns to come.

That would be mega kudos all over the world for CCFC

Samo · Mar 24, 2024

I looked at our run in a while ago and thought nah, we ain't gonna make it. But with Simms and Wright in the form they are in, anything is possible.

napolimp · Mar 24, 2024

Huddersfield away will tell us if the players are up for this run-in. A controlling victory would send a big message, a scrappy draw/loss may mean we don't quite have enough.

Norwich could easily lose their 4 games against Leicester/Ipswich/Wednesday/Preston, if they pick up some poor form. They struggled against Blackburn/Sunderland/Boro.

Norwich .............76pts
Hull ...................... 73 pts
Coventry ............. 77pts
Preston .................64 pts

I think the Coventry v Hull game is crucial. I dont think Hull will make it as i think 6th spot will be between Coventry and Norwich but thats our game in hand we have got to win. I have factored in only one point from Leeds and Southampton and a draw at Birmingham, and assuming we beat Huddersfield and Cardiff which e just have to do, then it means we need to win our last 4 matches.
Sadly, all the excitement over the man utd game is actually a major problem as the Hull game is 2 days later.
If we are still within a point or 2 of the play offs going into the man utd game we may have to play the 2nd team at Wembley. Its real conundrum now as i love the FA Cup and would take winning it over promotion but realistically we are not anywhere near as good as the 3 remaining teams in the FA Cup so if the play offs are still on by the time the semi comes around we probably have to treat the Hull game as the bigger one.

That Hull game has to be rearranged surely?

Just an extra day or two

It has to be pushed back 24 hours. Otherwise complete unfair.

Saddlebrains · Mar 24, 2024

It will be pushed back

When Rotherham had all them games in hand there was at least 2 clear days between

The problem being we have 1 day of recovery for Blackburn now not 2

Will the Blackburn game not be pushed back too?

Nope thats a Saturday 3pm KO. If we play Hull on the Wednesday there's 2 clear days

Ah ok, I got wrong footed by you saying one day to recover. Hopefully Blackburn are on their holidays at that point in the season!

Bburn will be safe by then and we will be flying / so will take that!

Pushing the Ipswich game right back could be good for us; they may have nothing to play for with two to go after thrashing Hull.
