cloughandtaylor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 With Boro and Brighton on 43pts and with Hull now on 41 pts with us there is now a gap of 6 pts to 5th place Burnley. As its been tricky for us even on our great run to make pts difference to Boro\Brighton, has it become any 2 from 4? Is 6 pts too much for Burnley to make up? It is so tight now up at the top and its not looking like Brighton are dropping away, can you see either of the top four losing two games. That also means Burnley winning two & at the moment for me they cannot buy a win ( haven't won a game since Nov 3rd). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiddingsRam Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 A long way to go yet but we certainly look the strongest 4 teams in the league I've still got a feeling Brighton could drop off when a few injuries start hitting , they haven't got the depth us hull and boro have ! It's going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rams1884 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I tend to agree about top 4 but it's a crazy and competitive league and you can't rule anything out. Burnley will eventually come good again. Blackburn are on a great run. Qpr likely to pick up witH JFH there now Ipswich looking strong who knows ?? I still think we are in with a great shout for promotion but will likely be Hull and/or us or Boro for top 2 come May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm still haunted by the fact we were points clear at the top in march last season. So far too early to say in mid December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I would say top 2 will come from current top 5. This season Championship is going to be like PL has been for years. Big clubs fight for top places and then there's 1 or two other meaningful places up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we keep up that kind of momentum (2.3 points per game), then we'd end up with 98 points and none of the others would be able to keep pace from now on. If. If. If.

Van der MoodHoover Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think we defended just fine for the first half of last season. We were grinding out wins at eg ipswich into 2015. Nobody predicted we would fall off a cliff. Just as nobody can predict the outcome for this season from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloughandtaylor Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just looking at last seasons table at 21 games played - 1st - Bournemouth 39pts 2nd - Boro 39pts 3rd - Derby 38pts 4th - Ipswich 38pts 5th - Brentford 37pts 6th - Watford 35pts It was very close at this point last season with only 2pts separating 1st and 5th position . This season 6pts separate 1st and 5th- that gap might get wider rather than closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 21 games played weren't Norwich close to mid table? I think it's better for confidence to ignore last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
