That prediction table is complete rubbish. My dog can predict better than that. They think 3rd will finish with 81 points

Who do you consider Brighton's biggest rival for second spot?

Got to love NSC. Almost 50% of people saw villa as our biggest rivals for second as they had put the best run together at the time of this poll. How many voted for Huddersfield? None!!
Now everybody is shitting themselves over Huddersfield because they've put a good run together!
Fair enough, were starting to reach the business end of the season, so a team in a good run of form who are only 4 adrift of us is more of a threat to us than Villa ever were. However. A few weeks ago everyone was shitting themselves over the form of Leeds and Reading before they both had a couple of bad results.
My prediction is that our form will pick back up, Huddersfield's will fall off and everyone will wonder what we were all so worried about! At least I hope I'm right!!

Hudds have got some difficult fixtures coming up (but then so have we...). Hoping the FA Cup tie v Man City will prove a distraction.

Silly old bat
I didn't because there wasn't a multiple choice option. I did say all of the above.

With the form Huddersfield have been showing the biggest threat to second spot might be Newcastle! I actually think Newcastle are there for the taking, especially if we can beat them at the Amex. Regardless, next three games are pretty massive and could define the season.

To be fair their last 3 games were hardly against pushovers.

How times change in just a few weeks.
Yep, It's why I never voted on this, seemed to be tempting fate a bit, this could go to the wire with three or more teams on plus 92 points. I'm hoping it will all be clear by the time we play our last home game against Bristol City but knowing the Albion we'll go to villa needing something.

Annoyingly true.
I'd be surprised if we don't.I'm hoping it will all be clear by the time we play our last home game against Bristol City but knowing the Albion we'll go to villa needing something.
They've been playing all the out of form teams recently (and winning) but their fixtures will get tougher. Their 3 'Yorkshire Away' games will be be ideal opportunists for them to drop points.
Villa are shithouse and even Bruce can't seem to stop the rot. I (and others) said before the start of the season that they would be more likely to be flirting with relegation than promotion, and so it is.
Having said that, I voted for Derby as I couldn't see Huddersfield or Tinpot Reading keeping up their early season form so what do I know.

Given that no one (which incredible) said Huddersfield, none of us can pretend to be wise here.
Huddersfield 0 votes.
Villa 131 votes.
And Newcastle not even in the poll!

Which bit's confusing you? I don't agree that Newcastle are favourites.

They don't have to be.
See the opening post: "So as well as Newcastle, who do you currently consider our biggest threat for a top two place this season?"
If we're going to finish outside the top two, it's going to take at least two clubs to stop us. It's not possible to set up a poll where we each get 2 votes, so I had to make it one vote and remove the waste of many for Newcastle. And so far, it looks like I was right.
So which two clubs do you think are the biggest threat to stop Brighton getting automatic promotion? Are you seriously saying Newcastle aren't one of them?
Oh FINE.
