NewCorkSeth Anyone else reckon the other 3 teams are all looking at us for the team most likely to drop out and finish 7th?

Probably, as most of them have been saying it since the beginning of the season.

Stranded Thought I would have a quick look at the relative strength of run in's from Brentford down to see how the play-off challengers fair - this is strength based on form as we are now in silly season where teams suddenly become world beaters at the bottom or forget how to play football at the top.
Below looks at form and table position and compares the gap between them - our run in looks pretty good at the moment.
Brentford (form 10th)
Opponents current avg position - 12.375
Opponents form avg position - 13.12
Swansea (23rd)
Opponents current avg position - 13.57
Opponents form avg position - 8.2
Barnsley (5th)
Opponents current avg position - 14.5
Opponents form avg position - 13.66
Reading (9th)
Opponents current avg position - 7.66
Opponents form avg position - 13
Bournemouth (3rd)
Opponents current avg position - 12.28
Opponents form avg position - 8.5
So in short:
We have the hardest run in by current position by quite some margin, however, we also see a drop in 5 league positions in that rating when based on current form.
Barnsley's run is, on paper, a piece of piss, on both form and position.
Swansea have a decent run in on paper but on average their opponents are outperforming their league position by 5 positions and for Bournemouth by about 4 making them, currently, fairly tough.

Zip Shame we play Watford next and not Swansea. The timing of fixtures is so important. I think we can get a draw at Watford but that might see us slip off the pace a bit.

Yes I think so. Bournemouth are now getting their act together. Barnsley are flying and Swansea still have a bit of a buffer. Plus we have tough games coming up.

If we pencil-in Reading 1-0 Swansea, they have no buffer

Depends on if you class an extra game as a buffer or not.

Pepe the Horseman Given our horrendous record against Swansea, I think we're better off pencilling in a 0-0.
