bravetiger usually starts this thread but since my shitbox of a club is stuck in this dogshit division for another fricking season i am going to take the reigns IMO

Promotion/playoff/relegation Scenarios -


Automatic promotion: Hull, at home to Cardiff, just need to match Watford's result at home to Leeds to secure second place.
Play-offs: Crystal Palace will seal their place with a win at home to Peterborough. A draw would be enough if Nottingham Forest fail to beat Leicester by six goals. If Bolton or Forest fail to win, Palace will also be okay.
Bolton will finish in the top six with a win at home to Blackpool, as long as Forest don't win by four more goals than they do, or if they and Forest draw.
Forest will qualify if they beat Leicester and either Palace lose or Bolton fail to win, or if they draw and Bolton lose.
Leicester need to beat Forest, with Bolton failing to win.

Wolves will go down unless they beat Brighton, Peterborough and Barnsley lose and Wolves make up a four-goal swing over Posh.

Barnsley will go down if they lose to Huddersfield, or if they draw and Peterborough avoid defeat and Sheffield Wednesday avoid defeat by four or more goals. A win would keep them up.

Peterborough are down if they lose and either Barnsley win or Wolves win and make up a four-goal swing. A draw won't be enough if Posh avoid defeat and Sheffield Wednesday avoid defeat by more or goals. A win would seal safety.

Sheffield Wednesday need to beat Middlesbrough to guarantee safety.

Millwall and Huddersfield need a point to secure their status.

Bristol City is already relegated.



hullywood citeh, your fate may lie in leeds' hands. sleep well tonight.

hoping wolves can stay up. will be pulling for a bolton/palace playoff matchup or possible final. the dougie freedman bowl FTW.

I think Watford wins to finish 2nd.

This is based on no logic other than they're Udinese UK and Udinese always jumps up the table on the final day.

Not to Amsterdam with me for the 15th....

I hope Forrest go up as well just because if you win the Champions League (or its equivelent) you shouldn't be in the second division.

Brighton have 4th place locked up... Can't move up or down when it comes to the playoff seeding. Looking forward to seeing the matchups finalized.

Promoted: Cardiff, Hull City
Playoffs: Watford vs Leicester City, Brighton vs Crystal Palace

Relegated: Peterborough, Wolves, Bristol City

Elliott Ward (50') nets a Forest equalizer against Leicester. That puts them back closer sixth place with Leicester slipping to eighth.

ETA: Correction. Bolton currently ahead of Forest on GD (+8 vs +5).
