Who are the the most likely to get top two? Derby and 'Boro.

Teams for the playoffs? Hull, Burnley, Brighton and Sheffield Wednesday.

Bottom three? Rotherham, MK Dons and Bolton.

Best team we've faced? Brighton.

Which team has disappointed/underachieved? Can't really pick one out, the team's up there at the moment were the ones I expected to be fighting for promotion this season.

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad? Brighton - If they were to fall away, they would've by now in my opinion. Injuries may hurt them going into the New Year.

Next manager to be sacked? Neil Lennon at Bolton.

Who are the the most likely to get top two?

Boro and Derby. Both have brilliant defences, strong attacks, good squad depth and both are likely to improve in January.

Teams for the playoffs?

Hull, Brighton, Sheff Wed and Brentford. Burnley have a strong team but I just have a feeling one of the top five are likely to drop out of the play offs and they seem the most likely.

Bottom three?

Bolton, Rotherham and MK Dons.

Best team we've faced?

Forest.

Which team has disappointed/underachieved?

Fulham.

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad?

Brighton, obviously and Bristol City have surprised me a little bit. I backed them to come up and make an immediate challenge for the play offs but they've really struggled.

Next manager to be sacked?

Plenty of candidates for this, Lennon, Cotterill, Jackett and Slade, but I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of a surprise one and Bruce goes next. The loss to Rotherham could be the start of a poor run and Hull fans have been really quick to blame the manager this season when something goes wrong (judging Twitter and their forums).

Who are the the most likely to get top two? Us and Boro.

Teams for the playoffs? Hull, Burnley, Brighton and QPR.

Bottom three? Rotherham, Bristol City and Bolton.

Best team we've faced? Boro.

Which team has disappointed/underachieved? Wolves/Fulham

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad? Brighton and Boro to some extent. I knew that Boro would be candidates but I didn't think they would do this well. I thought they would suffer a hangover from Wembley.

Next manager to be sacked?  Neil Lennon

Who are the the most likely to get top two? Derby and 'Boro.

Teams for the playoffs? Hull, Burnley, Brighton and Birmingham

Bottom three? Bristol City, MK Dons and Bolton.

Best team we've faced? Brighton.

Which team has disappointed/underachieved? Bristol City, they stormed League 1 last year and yet this year they just look plain poor, cant defend at all and look average in attack. (Rovers are still the best team in Bristol)

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad? I wouldn't say Brighton, last season they were statistically far better than there final position. A bit of a different one though - Rotherham. Did fairly well for a newly promoted team last season and I expected them to push on a bit, but they have looked like one of the worst teams by far.

Next manager to be sacked? Neil Lennon at Bolton if they get new owners, otherwise they cant afford to sack him.

most likely top two

Derby and Boro. GD speaks volumes.It's double the chasing pack

Teams for play offs 

Hull at least. Think the top 3 will pull away. Derby, Boro, Hull. Again going off GD. Shows they are consistent. Burnley in here. Brighton are a solid attacking team. Missed Dunk v Boro but they'll keep plugging away. Wednesday are nicer to watch than Ipswich but I think Ipswich will find a way to put more points on the board when it comes to winning ugly.

Bottom three

Bolton are doomed. Charlton and Bristol to join them. Redfearn seems to have something about him.

Best team we've faced

Boro the hardest team to open up. MK Dons put in a very good hour. Only time we've looked all over the place.

Biggest disappointment 

Wolves. Look more like bottom 6 than top 6

Biggest surprise

Brighton and Wolves

Next manager to be sacked

Kenny Jacket

Who are the the most likely to get top two? Middlesbrough and Derby just think they will be the most consistant. Hull and Brighton got off to fliers in August but have been overtaken more recently.

Teams for the playoffs? Brighton, Hull, Burnley, and Brentford.

Bottom three? Bolton, Charlton and Huddersfield..

Best team we've faced? Brighton (I can see that changing after jan 2nd)

Which team has disappointed/underachieved? Wolves, are the team I expected to be at least top 6 this season, based on last years second half of the season. Bristol City and Preston have been disappointing, often league one promoted teams do well

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad? Brighton, I though they would be near the top 6, but could never have imaged almost half a season unbeaten. Boro have been even better than I thought they would be.

Next manager to be sacked? Tough to call, half the league has lost their managers, the rest are with owners who believe in stability. I'd probably go for Cotterill, but Bruce and Slade are an outside chance.

Entirely agree with this, if any changes -

would be QPR as underacheivers

and Kenny Jacket to go first.

Who are the the most likely to get top two?  Boro and without being bias probably us.

Teams for the playoffs? Hull, Burnley, Brighton, Ipswich

Bottom three? Bolton, Rotherham, Bristol City 

Best team we've faced? The best team performance against us this season would have to be Leeds, especially in the first half, I thought their passing and movement was excellent and reminded me of us from two years ago.

Which team has disappointed/underachieved? Wolves, thought they looked very strong towards the end of last season but this season they just haven't got going. I think Afobe is an excellent player. 

Biggest surprises - could be good or bad? Unlikely but Leeds seem to be picking up points now so maybe a surprise 6th spot in the play offs for them.

Next manager to be sacked? Steve Cotterill
