Brighton are the team to do it, I swear to god, I have 20 quid on them getting into the playoffs and getting promoted 3 seasons in row!

Somewhat surprising to me is that Seagulls are 4th in the form table:

Preston and Leeds doing well lately. I think that form will continue. What is the likelyhood that Leeds will have points deducted though? (not trying to start something here!)

My top 6 prediction: Ipswich, West Ham, Sunderland, Sheff U, Preston and Leeds.

Confession time - I'm a Preston fan so I'm completely biased but we are top of the form table and playing with a more settled team.

Not too sure of my choice of West Ham though - Hammers fans must be going mad at their side's inconsistency. Then again I wasn't going to choose Millwall.

I'm the only one to vote for Preston. They'll do it.

Thats because your're the only one to probably put more than a moments thought into whos going to get the places .

Who here looked at the form guide ? , I know I didn't even look at the table , but I did know around abouts where the teams were .(I looked at it afterwards)

It just goes to show that people will vote for the well known teams. Preston are in the play off zone atm and only have 1 vote, the other 6 teams above and 4 below all have a lot more votes.

Well Wigan aren't exactly the most well known side , but plenty of us have them to win the Championship , and rightfully so as they are a great side .

Although Rodney Marsh would hate them being in the Premier .

yup , I pitty their players though , they have worked hard this season so far and probably will work hard enough to get a top 2 finnish , yet when next season comes around a huge amount of them will be shipped out and new better players shipped in .Im sure the crowd will increase if they reach the Premier though , I couldn't imagaine less than 15,000 on a regular basis .

Chucky reckons Preston have a chace of making the play-offs and I agree with him.

watman

1. Ipswich
2. Wigan Ath
3. Sunderland
4. Reading
5. Sheff Utd
6. Derby Co

i have watched a fair few championship games live this season, as stoke city and crewe alexandra are very close to me geographically. I reckon Derby will pinch the last spot. Preston just to miss out. Saw leeds last weekend against stoke and wasnt impressed with them so placing them out of playoff as well

evillive

i'm not sure who will be in the playoffs but glenda's WOLVES will win it

Top 6 final:
1 Sunderland
2 Wigan
3 Ipswich
4 Derby
5 Preston
6 West Ham
