With the Championship play-offs set to commence on Friday evening, it’s time for a little recap.
Regular visitors to Vital Luton Town may recall a series of twelve articles I ran whereby I studied he games those clubs with play-off aspirations had left and following the last of those twelve articles – focussing-on-the-promotion-race-rivals-luton-town – came up with the following predicted final Championship table:
1 – Fulham (Champions)
2 – Bournemouth – 90
3 – Luton Town – 78
4 – Nottingham Forest – 77
5 – Sheffield United – 74
6 – Middlesbrough – 74
7 – Huddersfield Town – 73
8 – Queens Park Rangers – 73
9 – Blackburn Rovers – 71
10 – Millwall – 70
11 – West Bromwich Albion – 69
12 – Coventry City – 63
As can be seen, when compared to the actual final table, my predictions were not too far off:
1 – Fulham – 90
2 – Bournemouth – 88
3 – Huddersfield Town – 82
4 – Nottingham Forest – 80
5 – Sheffield United – 75
6 – Luton Town – 75
Although I failed miserably with regards to points earned, I did manage to get four positions of the top six clubs correct.
On reflection, the only side I misjudged was, our opponents in the play-offs, Huddersfield Town.
I wrongly suspected that their fine run of form would grind to a halt as the end of the season drew close.
Here’s hoping that run of form that surprised most people, will come to an end this weekend!
