Bit of kill some time. How many in the picture for prem relegation. 6?
Crystal palace will need to change Roy pronto or they may do the unthinkable and save Everton.
How many teams vying for play off spot? 8?
Have to say I thought borough and Watford could have been in the mix but prob now only down to Sunderland?

Depending on points deduction
The 3 who went up will come down, with or without Woy Palace have enough
Cov were 11 last seadon in Feb, so i'd include Brissle City aswell
All imo
Ipswich imo will not be automatic.

Momentum is massive, especially at the sharp end of the season. We have experienced ourselves how once you get into a poor run it's very hard to turn it around so I think Palace could be in trouble, wouldn't look any further up than them to be involved in the fight for the last relegation spot. Sheffield an Burnley are gonners I think. Similarly in the championship there is usually a team gets on a run into the playoffs. The 6th spot I would suggest will concern Coventry, Preston and Norwich.
15 Feb 2024 12:20:06
Palace should be ok if they get Eze and Olise back from injury. Sheff Utd and Burnley for me are down and the third spot between Everton, Luton and Forest, although I think Luton will just scrape it.
The Championship auto places are surely Leicester and either Leeds or Southampton.
It’s not very often the team with the most points in the playoffs get promoted and imagine that will be Ipswich.
As Rich has mentioned Bristol could make a late surge and win the playoffs?
15 Feb 2024 12:42:03
Sticking with my prediction of start of season. all 3 promoted teams go dowm . buf great credit to Luton for points accumulation so far.
Everton appeal on points deduction shall be interesting
Palace bringing in it seems a good coach with a good record Europa Cup winning coach . who should see them stay up comfortably
Champo. Have a feeling Norwich get 6th AND win playoffs
And sadly it seems Man U are finally really making very good appointments in boardroom, DoF, Scouting etc .
15 Feb 2024 12:56:47
Don't know why Palace aren't courting Potter. He'd be a good fit there.
15 Feb 2024 13:08:13
OP
So Gonners getting promoted in playoffs? Or Bristol City?
Or Gonners will " have most points of play-off teams" ( yet won't finish above 4th place) ?.
15 Feb 2024 13:25:36
Palace looked in bother last season until they came to ER and scored FIVE!
15 Feb 2024 13:48:29
So exciting chaps. More opinions please. I’m interested.
Won’t hold it against anybody for more than 6 weeks baz, Berm and Porgie.
Just bit of fun.
Luton def got some fight.
15 Feb 2024 18:59:05
Baz, yes you’re right, I’ve been so focused on Leeds and Southampton that it slipped my mind that it will be us or Southampton on the most points in third place.
Not even going to contemplate us out of the autos.
So Southampton will suffer losing in the playoffs and I’ll go Bristol for an outside bet and if they don’t make playoffs I’ll go for Norwich, like your good self as the winners.
15 Feb 2024 19:06:24
Open down to 10th, even 11th on the play off front imo. And yeah, probs agree that there are 6 in the mix right now for popping on down a division!
15 Feb 2024 20:04:19
Okey dokey OP good you corrected and clarified.
15 Feb 2024 20:39:22
Regulated?
Sheff utd and Burnley are gone. Love Wilde but squad no good and kop any is playing his hand like a fool.
Final place? Could be palace with injuries depends who they bring in.
{Ed025's Note - looks like Oliver Glasner Bermo..
15 Feb 2024 23:19:59
I think the bottom 2 are done in the EPL…if Forest lose the predicted 6 points, then I think they’ll join em. I think Luton will survive (I hope they do)
I don’t feel right to predict our League beyond Leicester without fearing jinxing us. There is always someone who sneaks into the playoffs late on. I had been thinking someone like Watford, but they’ve really gone off the boil recently.
16 Feb 2024 12:36:58
If Forest do go down, Ani, I'd love for us to buy Awoniyi. He's a nightmare to defend against. Would score plenty in this team.
16 Feb 2024 14:06:40
I 100% agree Dill.
