But there is no expectation for them to finish top 2. Play-offs is a fantastic season for them.

I agree. But that's not say a team punching above its weight can't bottle it when it really matters. People kept saying Leicester were going to bottle it last season, despite punching well above their weight in reality.

If Huddersfield have a chance to be withing three points of automatic promotion they won't think there's no pressure because they've done better than expected already.

Whilst I agree, they could also be on the crest of a wave, as they're overachieving and enjoying the games?
 
Let's break it down;

Newcastle

Birmingham (A)
Wigan (H)
Burton (H)
Sheffield Wednesday (A)
Leeds (H)
Ipswich (A)
Preston (H)
Cardiff (A)
Barnsley (H)

Huddersfield

Bristol City (A)
Burton (H)
Norwich (H)
Nottingham Forest (A)
Preston (H)
Derby (A)
Fulham (H)
Wolves (A)
Birmingham (A)
Cardiff (H)

Brighton

Leeds (A)
Blackburn (H)
Birmingham (H)
QPR (A)
Wolves (A)
Wigan (H)
Norwich (A)
Bristol City (H)
Villa (A)

Only way mags aren't going up is if there away from takes a U turn as their home fixtures are the easiest set of games you could ask for

Will be FaF losing to Burton at home
 
The mags have the easiest run in, have the best squad and the points on the board. All in their favour. Those wins against Brighton and Huddersfield got the job done in reality.

This. I think it will go to the last day mind albeit probably 3 points and 70 goals clear of 3rd. It will be interesting if Birmingham do manage to get something off them
 
I've just passed a corker, works on the tippers for O'Brien, mag top on his passenger seat and a 'Rafa the Gaffer' scarf on his dashboard!
 
I would say the mags have the slightly harder run in.Both Leeds and Shef Wed could easily beat them.Brighton are catching up the mags on goal difference.Only 6 goals now.

Sheff Wed battered them at St James. Should have been 3 or 4. Different team away from home though. Need the pressure to get to them

If Huddersfield go into their game in hand knowing they can close it to three the pressure will be huge compared to what it is for the mags sitting seven clear.

So far when it's mattered the mags have got the job done whilst Huddersfield have failed. Hopefully it changes.

Huddersfield bottled it when the mags beat them 2-1 last week.

Defoe, Pickford and Kone will be on a team that gets relegated this year and all 3 are very good players (even if K0ne has been crap of late, get his confidence and mentality back he's a beast).

It'll be Defoe's second relegation.

As I've repeatedly said.

*it was 1-3



The mags are a machine away from home.

They are a machine away from home if we're talking wins but very rarely dominating games.They seem to have long periods in games where they are shite and second best.They'll lose another two or three before the season's over.
