Trent Canary 0 Posted December 5, 2009 4 points over the space of 26 games? No problem. Staying in front of Colchester and Huddersfield is just as tough a challenge for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rupethebear 0 Posted December 5, 2009 We have to play them yet, gap down to 1 point! They maybe winning but not scoring many, dont forget we gave them 8 points start so we have halved it already...We need the 2nd spot as I think the Saints will end up in the play offs.

There are 26 games to go and they are already 4 points up. By the end of the season, if things go as they are, Charlton (what the he!! is an "addick", anyways?) will be 9 points up.

Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted December 5, 2009 Leeds still have to play away at CR, Chartlton and Huddersfield at least so they''re not home and dry yet. City just need to concentrate on winning their own games and chip away like they did with Colchester to go third. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that''s true, and if Sullivan decides West Ham IS too much of a basket case, then that leaves him still looking for a club to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted December 6, 2009 I can see the current top 3 breaking away from the rest come the end of the season, and it coming down to us or Charlton ,with the side that finishes third being a good dozen points ahead of the rest. However as we''ve seen in plenty of occasions that third place team doesn''t necessarily go up via the playoffs.I have a nasty suspicion that the 6th place team lying in wait will be Southampton, it may turn out that the real losers in their 10 points deduction turns out to be us or Charlton??
