Hound Defeats for Hull, Bolton and Ipswich then. Win for Preston
We’d do well to finish below that dreadful trio. Though we’re making a pretty good stab at it so far

Stranded We're essentially already in a league of 6 (poss 7 with Bolton) and the bottom 3 will come from that group. We are actually doing well in that section having W3 L1 against the teams down there. If we can continue picking up points of them and somehow beat a team placed 16th or higher, that should be enough to creep over the line so that we can enjoy the same crap next year.

Yep, I'd say that's pretty much bang on.
Bolton have usually been there or there abouts at the bottom for a few seasons now (much to Snowflake Royal's disagreement), then Rotherham are a yo-yo team anyway. I think that leaves Hull or Ipswich as favourites for the final place - do you think Ipswich will sack their manager soon and will that have the desired effect to get them out?

Hound 2 consecutive wins for any of those teams will take them into the next group. Plenty of the season to go yet and one team always drops like a stone (us last year for example)
Hound Birmingham seem to have picked right up and have apparently been playing well all year
Rotherham, Hull and Ipswich I think

Bolton are definitely in the mix, particularly since I'm sure they won their first thee games or 3 in 4 or something....so they must be on worse form than anyone.

Ascotexgunner Be interesting to see if the FA have the balls to impose the points deductions that they are threatening QPR, Bolton and Birmingham with, and if those will come into play. My feeling is they wont because the FA have dragged their feet time and time again with offending clubs. They would never do what the Scottish FA did to Rangers or indeed what the FA did to Luton a few years back (30 points wasn't it?).
They will no doubt wait until the end of the season before imposing the deductions.

That's funny because you posted this in my poll thread of relegation predictions:Hound Birmingham seem to have picked right up and have apparently been playing well all year

That would suggest that a team wouldn't 'drop like a stone'?

Stranded Not sure Ipswich will get rid as any manager coming in there after McCarthy was always up against it, there has been a bit of a slow death there (similar to us) for a while and arguably MM was the only reason they weren't where they are now before. If they do drop, they arguably have the perfect manager to look to rebuild.

Kulshaw72RFC As expected, Hirst has gone from Ipswich.
Took a massive gamble, safe to say it did not pay off for him, Ipswich and Shrewsbury.
Should have kept MM.

Paul Lambert to take over, not sure the Norwich fans will like that too much!

Right, well that turned out to be total bollocks didn't it. I seriously wonder whether you know anything about football Stranded.
