A midweek round that probably saw Fulham's last hope gone, as they lost out to Southampton, who edged ahead of Cardiff as a result.
Huddersfield, cruelly, posted a win, so that some of their fans who were resigned to relegation now find themselves thinking 'I know, but what if...'
Newcastle find themselves 6 points clear of 18th.
On current form for both last 6 and last 10, Cardiff would stay up at Brighton's expense, by 6 or 2 points, which makes BRI v CAR in Week 31 around a 12 pointer, I reckon, taking hyperbole and inflation into account.
On form, Cardiff have dropped back to being the side most likely to take the 3rd relegation spot. They are still 11 points off 36, with 9 games to go, 4 of which are against top 6 sides, so realistically, of the other 5 they need to win 4, or 3 and 2 draws. Which is unlikely.
On last 10/6 form, Cardiff would get 34 points, Southampton would get 38/35.
You could be right this year, but I still think Cardiff will struggle to get more than 36.
Forgot to do this after the last round.
Burnley have had 4 losses on the spin, and are clearly off their feed, but I can't help feeling they will have enough about them.
Cardiff still look favourites, but have yet to play Burnley and Brighton, so you never know.
On last 10/6 form projected points would be:
Cardiff - 36/40
Burnely - 38/37
Soton - 42/3
On the flipside Norwich looked nailed on to win the Championship and Leeds just leapfrogged into 2nd over Sheff Utd. I'd love it if Bristol City could sneak into the playoffs, they not been in the top flight since 1980.
So, farewell, then, Huddersfield. Shame, but you were pretty pony this year.
Fulham could join them if they lose their midweek game at Watford, but I can't think anyone imagines they have any hope of avoiding the drop.
Cardiff narrowly failed to make the last team to go more interesting, but their loss to Chelsea, coupled with wins for Burnley and Soton probably leave them too much to do now. That said, they still have to play Burnley and Brighton, so 2 wins might make things a bit more interesting again.
Newcastle and Palace look pretty much safe.
Makes me wanna do this
:antonio:
Well, I say nobody...
Imagine what it’s going to be like in our games against them.
