If you tally up the league positions of all the teams we have to play you get a number that, in simple terms, the lower the harder the games.
Home games are perceived as easier so to show this double the league position of the teams played.
I'm no stat genius but thought this would give a scientific (not) way of looking at it.
So with that in mind and remembering the lowest number is the harder run in. I got......
Wolves 222
Cardiff 164
Villa 151
Fulham 228
I would have agreed that we had the harder games but my absolutely nailed on scientific analysis shows that Villa have the harder games.
The problem is, as other teams either cannot make the play offs or make themselves safe, those games become easier.
Was it worth bearing with me.... I doubt it.
Derby and Hull will have a big say in it all as they have to play Wolves, us and Villa.

They’re one of the hardest teams to play in the division at theirs and generally kick the shit out players. Yet their last two home games of the season are against Fulham and Villa respectively. On paper a doddle, an easy gimme. In football terms a nasty fixture to have left. Not many sides have left the den with all 3.

I don't think they have anything to play for though do they?
Aren't they mid table ? end of the season tired legs - They could get battered.
