Yeah and 18% to finish specifically in 6th place.
39% top 6 ?
But my point was that this was what was said a few months ago lolTheir inconsistency will cost them again.
You need to win half your games just to stand still. They have some catching up to do. If they get 1 point from 2 games like we just did they will be out of the race.
You can't go up from the EPL mate.next season is the season we go up

This was the case at the start of the season then the results started to reflect it but they have improved recently and picked up some good resultsPreston won't make it. Currently significantly over performing their expected stats.
assuming ipswich finish 4th which i expect, you may find whoever finishes 3rd will have a real come down - and may not have it in them for a play off fightFinishing 5th would be ideal, I’d prefer our chances against Ipswich over 2 legs and then anything can happen in 90 mins at Wembley.
I get that feeling.Worry that the fixtures will pile up and we will run out of steam
Ipswich only have 9 points from their last 8 games. If they don't improve quickly the pressure will be on.assuming ipswich finish 4th which i expect, you may find whoever finishes 3rd will have a real come down - and may not have it in them for a play off fight
Of course they're still in with a shout. But they have some difficult games coming up. In their next 7 games they have...But my point was that this was what was said a few months ago lol
Can't keep saying something that isn't true until it becomes true.
I have no issue with people predicting they fall away
It was the stating of fact that they were out of it which just wasn't true that's all

We've been averaging over 2 points a game for a fair bit now. This run includes playing against the top 4 sides. They were clear in 2nd until recently. If they continue their run for the last 8 games and WBA and ourselves keep the pressure on them they will soon be looking over their shoulders.They don't need to improve though. If they carry on that poor level of form until the end of the season they will still end up on 77 points which will comfortably find them in the playoffs. For us to match that we would have to accrue 2 points a game for the rest of the season, which is pretty unlikely, even if we do make it ourselves.
Edit - just read your post back and still unsure whether you mean the pressure on Ipswich is for autos or play offs. Regardless, I think they are under no pressure re. automatic promotion as no one expects that of them.
It's happened last year tbf, team's in the mix tripping over themselves while we just carried on doing our thing!So what do we want tonight Southampton ,Swansea, Cardiff and Rotherman to win and Norwich v Watford draw they would be a brilliant set of results.Mind you the odds of that will be high, but can dream.
Outside of us obviously, Millwall Vs Blackburn was my favourite result of last season. Just so funny.It's happened last year tbf, team's in the mix tripping over themselves while we just carried on doing our thing!
Of course they're still in with a shout. But they have some difficult games coming up. In their next 7 games they have...
Middlesbrough H
Us A
Hull H
Southampton A
Plymouth A
To keep up with the pace they might have to win the other 2 games plus 3 of these.

That is absolutely incredible, 2 completely different starting line-ups between last seasons play-off final, and the team which now sits in a play-off position 8 months later. The only constant being the management.
Thought I would drop this in here 'cause of Ipswich's current Titanic form.
Could it affect the 5th and 6th places in the promotion race?
Maybe, just maybe.

3 draws would do very nicely. WBA will likely beat Cardiff but a surprise here would lead into our fixture very nicely.So what do we want tonight Southampton ,Swansea, Cardiff and Rotherman to win and Norwich v Watford draw they would be a brilliant set of results.Mind you the odds of that will be high, but can dream.
We’ve lost one game at home too. We’ve drew a lot, but we’ve turned over Leicester and drew to Southampton. So we are more than capable to get results against Leeds, Hull and Ipswich.just looked and lots of away games coming up 5 out of 7 - so away form is now crucial
That said WBA will be tough but crucial - all of the others look as though we could get something
Assuming we beat Maidstone its
Plymouth A
Stoke A
Preston H
WBA A
Rotherham H
Watford A
Huddersfield A
but depending where they push the Hull game, 5 of our last 8 would then be at home
For the opposite reason that this year is tough, next year may be slightly easier. All three relegated clubs last year were well established clubs and look to be he ones going back up. WBA and all of us are playing for the scraps. The likely relegated clubs this year will be the three promoted clubs (probably). One or maybe two of those could have a dodgy season back in tier 2. It does open up the door to the automatics.Not expecting play-offs this season but expecting us to make a proper go of automatic promotion next year.
Don’t forget the SBAI think it’s is unmatched I really do
Incredible work from Robjns Vivash and Lawrence and of course King deserves credit too
Someone on reddit simulated the remaining games 2000 times.

So we have an easy-ish run in and gives us a 18% to finish in 6th
