I don't think we'll make it, probably miss out on the final day or something but my god what an effort! Won't be such a bad thing in my opinion anyway
not at all biased for Brighton then!
Nah, never gonna happen. If it does, then the universe will spontaneously combust.
Seriously, though, the team that finishes third and just misses out on automatic almost always crashes and burns in the play-offs, especially if they were way ahead of the 4th placed team. The psychology is all wrong to succeed after such a massive disappointment - momentum and confidence are vital to get through the play-offs.
here's my prediction
albeit biased against palace a little
87 Southampton
86 West Ham United
------------------------------
86 Reading
78 Middlesbrough
76 Cardiff City
74 Birmingham City
------------------------------
74 Brighton & Hove Albion
73 Hull City
72 Blackpool
Blimey, I'll have some of what you're on please
