Huddersfield fans probably hoped they’d be battling us for the top two, but as things stand, a top-six spot is the best they can hope for. They have a 16-point gap they’d need to overhaul if they wanted autos, and they only have 12 games to do it in. They could have a say in the promotion race, they host us in a couple of weeks, and then face Cardiff a couple of matches later.
Their trip to Bolton late in April is one to keep an eye on if you’re a City fan, that’s for sure.
Nice analysis, would be nice to see the prediction being slightly wrong and us nicking it though. Even better if we give Cardiff a good beating and we both finish on 91 points with us edging it on goal difference!
BTW sometimes it is better to be promoted second and then we still have the fight and less complacency in the next season. It is amazing to see how many champions struggle, while second placed teams go on to thrive!
I don’t know if there could be anything in it, but perhaps it’s best not to be top too soon. Most fans will look at Cardiff as a bigger game than us right now. But you would expect the clubs to utterly professional as they approach each game. I wonder if it influences the players though?
