BHA league position after Sheffield Wednesday match

[Steve Foster]

BHA 30 points, Hull 28 points playing away at Brentford; Burnley 28 points at home to Fulham; Derby 27 points at home to QPR; Middlesbrough 27 points at home to Rotherham.

So where will we be Wednesday am?

 

[BensGrandad]

Middlesbro most likely to overtake us as the rest are all possible draws.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Still top by a point, I'd say. Fancy us to get at least a point at Wednesday ([emoji2]), Derby and Boro likely to win, but think Brentford will take at least a point off Hull and expect a buoyant Fulham to grab a point at Burnley.

The assumption is we're going to lose then ?

I have a horrible feeling that we might, Wednesday are a team in form and we have to lose eventually? I worry that we struggle to hold a lead too, assuming we take it.

I think we will be knocked off the top but I have no idea to where.

 

[BensGrandad]

That is the worst case scenario for me as I think we will draw which could allow others in but feel they will also drop points. So a draw will keep us top and a wjn at home Saturday would mean going into the international break top again.

Higher than I believed in August.

some worrying...some struggling...
we've held a lead to get all 3 points 8 times this season.
we've taken the lead in 10 out of the 15 games we've played this season.

How many times have we been pegged back? How many games have we won comfortably? Is it unreasonable to think that we may lose top spot because we can't close a game out? No shame in being knocked off top spot, if it happens. There are a host of chasing teams with good managers and bigger budgets, to have stayed top this long is a massive achievement.

I hope we can stay there but for the reasons above I won't be at all surprised if we don't

 

[Steve Foster]

If we draw on Tuesday, then Hull will need to win at Brentford. Think this will be tough for them.
However, Burnley should win their home game. Think we will slip to 2nd

 

[Working class pride]

I'm never much of an optimist when it comes to the Albion (the years have proven me right so far) but this is the sort of game where we will get a win. Then we will draw and may be lose in our next couple of games. Is this side good enough? We shall see.

 

[5ways]

I think our inability to win a game by a margin greater than one is going to catch-up with us very soon.

It's been great being in this position for so long and it will come to an end at some point but it's where we will be at the end of the season that really counts. Would be great to have a really good run from March onwards and try to secure an automatic promotion place. How we do until then is not really relevant unless we start to lose or win every game. So good to see us doing well after last season.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Our reign at the top may be drawing to an end. You can draw your own conclusions as to why this has happened. I predict a 1-1 d.....

Probably be second after Tuesdays Wednesday (?) game.

This. We have always been frustrating to watch, win and draw at the top clubs then lose at home to the bottom just when you thought the hard work had been done. Having said that it's Hillsborough and try as I might I just can't see us getting anything there. live in hope ?.

 

[perseus]

Win at Hillsborough but still be down to second before next Saturday?

 

[BensGrandad]

Win at Hillsborough but still be down to second before next Saturday?

How is that possible? Who is playing Friday evening? Just checked its Forest v Derby so Erby have to win both games Tues at home to QPR and then Friday.

 

[BensGrandad]

However, Burnley should win their home game. Think we will slip to 2nd

Fulham are on a roll I think and hope they will get a draw at Burnley

 

[Rugrat]

Before yesterday I didn't think we'd get anything from either of the next 2.

But it seems we were good value for our point and I don't see Wednesday being any stronger than Reading.

I can see us upping our game further, sneaking a win and confounding most of us yet again!
