Personally I think WBA will win the title, leaving only one spot up for grabs
Wins in the final minutes against a few teams lately (unlike those around them) means they are confident and I think they will go on now.
For me a defeat of Watford would be a massive blow to the Hornets, and potentially knocks them out of the race (if Stoke, Hull and Bristol all win as well), however on the recent form of us and Bristol, thats a tall order!
That would make the weekend afters game not just massive, but humungous when we take on Bristol! A win on Sat, followed by another next Sat would put us in a great position I think.
Hull have 3 massive games after this weekend - Sheff Utd (away), Palace (h) and Ipswich (a) - they would usually be happy with 5 points from those 3 fixtures? Ipswich away last game is a tester for sure. Even Barnsley (a) next Tuesday might not to easy given their performance on Weds! 6-8 points max?
West Brom have Wolves (h), Norwich (a), Southampton (h) and finally QPR (a) - would expect them to pick up at least 8 points from that
Bristol have a toughie against Wolves on Sat (h), then us (a), then another tough away game at Sheff Utd (a) before a final home game against Preston - expect them to get 5 points maximum
Finally Watford, big task away at West Brom, followed by hard game v Palace (h), then Scunthorpe (h) and finally away at Blackpool - expect 5 points again?
Bristol apart, we should (!) pick up at least 9 points from our remaining 4 games - 8 might be enough depending on Barnsley v Hull (2 wins, 2 draws?
That would see (based on Hull 8 and us 8 in total)
West Brom 78
Stoke 77
Hull 76
Bristol 75
Watford 73
Its a funny old world, and the easiest run in (on paper) isn't neccessarily the easiest in practice with teams scrapping away for points - but would rather be playning them than Wolves, Palace, Ipswich etc who are deperate for that final play off spot.
(PS, all of this is based on us getting our arses into gear and starting to play again, stop fannying around with the line up and put our strongest attacking team on the park and starting to win again - you hear me Tone!)
(EDITS BECAUSE MY MATHS IS CURRENTLY PLAYING UP - IN FOR REPAIR)
(ANOTHER EDIT - I SEEM TO HAVE IGNORED HULLS GAME THIS WEEKEND v QPR - COME ON RANGERS! HULL COULD WIN THE LEAGUE!!)

Baggies for me. They take 3 points Saturday, we take 3 - we go 4 points clear of Watford. We then beat Brizzle and go above them. Win our other 2 remaning games, Hull slip up and we go up.
It's all part of the masterplan.

We all want a 0-0 draw, that aint gonna happen though. The Samba Boys will be in the top two at the end of the season, so them winning, would probably be best. Goarnnnnn STOKE!!

Robo10,West Brom have Wolves (h), Norwich (a), Southampton (h) and finally QPR (a) - would expect them to pick up at least 8 points from that
west brom are away to wolves, which makes this game a lot harder for them and can see the dingles winning this one.

Fair point - can still see them getting a point from it though.

I want Brazil to possibly win or a nil-nil draw leaving top spot more up for grabs. I also want Riccy to start playing instead of coming off the bench after losing 2-0 in one of the most important games of the season. Reckon he can still get about 17 this season and Lawrence possibly the same.
