One Automatic Place Booked

[cahill]

Not a chance this season. However, they do have a habit of winning late on.

Villa will finish top 2

Would'nt disagree with that. Look good under Smith, I keep willing anyone they play to beat them, ( obvious exceptions)

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Villa are definitely the ones to watch.

I don’t think Leeds are as good as everyone thinks.

I don’t think Leeds are as good as everyone thinks.

I see why you might think this but for team that has injuries to players like ayling, roofe, Douglas, Cooper, bamford, brown, Dallas, Forshaw, Hernandez, beradi for a significant periods & still are 2nd dominating games most weeks having to play kids Clarke 17, Shackleton 19, halme 20, Roberts 19, Harrison 21 I think that’s pretty good going.

Villa are the ones to watch, definite top 6 in my book, and they bloody ought to be given what they have spent.

WBA, Boro and Derby ought to be too.
Norwich and Leeds will tail off, but will be in the top 6 mix.

Doesn't leave much room for us? We have to be absolutely at it and regularly on form, to simply compete with their hefty chequebooks.

Just about every team in the top 10 has a similar points haul over the last 7/8 games aside from the top 2 and as ever, 4/5 wins on the bounce and you're right in the mix as Norwich showed recently. It's all about consistency, a bit of luck here and there and having key players to make the difference. Fulham did it last season by bringing in quality this time of year, Wolves had that extra quality from the start so that's the key for us as we are undoubtedly toe to toe with the top clubs in this division as we have shown.
