IF we get a result v pompey could be opening up a decent gap.

 

Bolton v Portsmouth, 15:00

Derby v Tottenham, 15:00

Everton v Reading, 15:00

Middlesbrough v Fulham, 15:00

Sunderland v Wigan, 15:00

West Ham v Birmingham, 15:00

looking at their fixtures, Birmingham are in trouble

i think derby are in a bit of trouble aswell

Newcastle are slowly getting dragged in too. Villa (A) then ManU (H) are no pointers I reckon. A win for us and a loss for them will see our vastly superior goal difference come into play.

they are down to single figure odds now.

 

we are currently about 5/1

 

 

reading were 13/2 before weekend now down to 3s.

i honestly think they could be goosed. the only thing that will save them is the fact there are so many poor teams down there. wish i had backed them at 14/1 a few weeks back. Anyone want to put in a comparison of all fixtures left for the teams in and around the drop zone so we can compare run ins

Reading haven't kept a clean sheet for 16 games now - worst record in the top flight.

Reading are the new Ipswich

 

nice football last season but generally a championship team that haven't added any quality hence the struggle this season

 

if Brum don't drop, they will

second season syndrome, EITHER reading or wigan will go down... no big shock there

 

i am sure statistically more teams are relegated from the prem in their second season than others

I cannot see Wigan dropping there playing pretty well, I still think sunderland are the worst team down there after fulham and derby.

I doubt that.

 

Plus it's Wigan's 3rd Premiership season.

 

Think Sunderland's home form may get them out of it. Never an easy place to go.

What about 1st season syndrome?

 

First things first! 21 teams of the 44 in total featured in this analysis, didn't even get the chance to fight against second season syndrome - almost half of the teams promoted to the Premiership haven't survived their first top flight campaign.

 

But although the figures suggest a drop is almost inevitable, of the 23 teams that have survived for a second top flight campaign, only four of them actually ended up getting relegated in their second season, a figure of 19%.
