BBC article on how the Championship final table may look

Interesting little article from the BBC on how the final Championship table may look.

Newcastle/BHA for auto promotion.

Us to finish 15th

Rotherham, Wigan & Burton for the drop

I wouldn't argue too much with that.

Viewed this some two weeks back from another page and thought about putting it on the forum but deemed it not relevant enough for inclusion.

Would have had more respect for it had it been done before start of season, but at the midway point and positions starting to take shape, it's merely a mix between probable finishes for the promotion and relegation zones, and assumption and conjecture for all other available league placings.

I have to disagree SJ, it's far more relevant published now based on form as opposed to being done before the start of the season when it's little more than guesswork for all bar the blatantly obvious like Newcastle United etc.

It's based on a projection that things will continue more or less as they are now, which in most cases is likely to be true. Of course this league as we know is 'bonkers' so there will be some surprises left. Of that we can be certain.

There are always teams who have a late run and sneak into the play-offs ... and there's always teams who implode. I see Norwich having that strong finish and who'll be in the play-offs. :(

I think we'll finish 14th - 17th ... so for us it's pretty accurate.
