End of August just ahead of the Fulham game I said I reckoned somewhere between 15 and 18 points from Fulham through to Ipswich would be great. Two games to go I reckon we'll pick up either 4 or 6 which will be between 15 and 17 points which may well see us finish October back up top.
I can see a possible mini wobble for Wolves next couple of games with QPR and Norwich away and same for Sheff Utd with Leeds and QPR (QPR might do us a couple of favours in the next couple of weeks actually)
Fancy Leeds to beat Derby at home but not a given either.
That leaves us right up the top come the end of October.
Across November realistically I'd say something between 8 and 10 points is great but 12 (and another manager of the month accolade) is not unthinkable - no one we should be hugely afraid of.
As for the rest of the current top 6...
Wolves have Fulham, Reading, Leeds and Bolton - not an easy run - I reckon they'll take 7 points from that lot
Sheff Utd have a slightly easier run in Hull, Burton, Fulham and Birmingham but I have a sneaky feeling they are going to fall away and have a feeling Burton will do them and think they'll take just 4 points across November
Leeds have a mixed bag with Brentford, Boro, Wolves and Barnsley - 7 points in there for them for me
Villa have a similar month to Leeds with Preston, Wednesday, QPR, and Sunderland ahead of them - 3 draws and a win I reckon so 6 points
Norwich have Bolton, Barnsley, Forest, and Preston and I fancy them to do well across these picking up 9 points.
So I reckon end of November the table will look something a little like this:
1. Cardiff 39pts
2. Wolves 37pts
3. Norwich 35pts
4. Leeds 34pts
5. Sheff Utd 33pts
6. Villa 29pts
Outside of the top 6 I think Forest may be knocking on the door of the play-off positions by the end of November and Bristol will be back in mid table (They have us, Preston, Wednesday, & Hull)
Glass half full as always mind you so probably miles off
