Not quite what I was expecting and obviously you have no week to week context but I'll take it if it happens!

Worth pointing out Boro go top a few times and top 3 desperate dby a few points without around 6 games to go so may well get very nervy

For me:
1. Boro 91 pts
2. Cov 89 pts
3. Ipswich 83 pts
4. Millwall 82 pts
5. Southampton 80 pts
6. Sheff Utd 76 pts

Going down:
22. Oxford 42 pts
23. WBA 40 pts
24. Sheff W -3 pts

Have us down to lose at Sheff Utd, Swansea and Watford, win at Bristol C, Hull and Blackburn.

Today's results mean we're guaranteed to be top going into the Stoke game. At that point we will have 12 games left with 7 at home. Game on.

I’ve been running a projection model on the full Championship table, not just naive PPG stuff, but a blended model that factors in recent form, fixture difficulty and games in hand, and I’ve run those factors through 100,000 simulations, these are the results after today’s games:

92.7% probability of automatic promotion
∙ 71.0% probability of winning the title
∙ 100% probability of finishing in the top 6

For context: Middlesbrough only have a 72.5% chance of going up automatically.

My model also had Leicester going down in 55% of simulations, but if they get another point deduction it changes massively - 61% chance of relegation with an extra 1 point deduction and if they got 3 more points deducted their chance of relegation goes up to 73%.

Just a python script with some opinionated inputs - the model blends each team’s season form with their last six results (weighting recent games 60/40), adjusts for remaining fixture difficulty and games in hand and then runs that same set of inputs 100,000 times to produce a probability per position per club. It’s probably not a million miles away from what Opta does for their model.

We all have some tough games left but i look at you as an opposing fan having to go away to ipswich , blues and wrexham as games i think points will be dropped

Millwall too but at home i think you will beat them

Oh I don't think we'll get 9 points from those 3, fat chance. I'd be over the moon with 7, ok with 5, indeed 4 points if the win came against Ipswich.

But it's the Bristol City game that fills me with the most dread, can't be helped.

For all the nerds this was my prediction I will save you all the background but it was done through Claude anthropic 4.6 using recent form, transfers during the window, results, and the last games left to play this season. It also had the data from the last three seasons based on positions at match 33 vs the final table in order try and model how seasons usually pan out Coventry 88, Boro 81, Ipswich 77, Wrexham 74, Hull 73, Millwall 70. Probably complete bollox but I did a similar prediction last October and it’s not too far out

It's a shame we don't play till Wednesday as it gives others a chance to apply pressure on our game

However if they shit the bed it could make it a free hit kinda game on the flip side with less pressure

Our “blip” coincided with a few other teams run of the season. Which still wasn’t as good as our good spell. Their run will more than likely slow down like ours did. Even our poor spell we were in and around top half in form (I think, can’t be arsed to check)
I’m quietly confident now. Obviously that’s because the table looks beautiful tonight.

See it as an extra day to prepare while Sheff Utd are preoccupied with relegating their neighbours.
