Ladies and gentlemen, it is very much in our own hands, but b'jaysus it's going to be touch and go!
Hull
Played 42 Points 44 GD -16
Home to Colchester
Away to Stoke
Away to Cardiff
Home to Plymouth
3 tough fixtures against three teams all believing they can reach the play-offs before a gimme on the last day of the season (since Plymouth's season will be well and truly over by then). We have a better run-in which could see us catch them but I wouldn't fancy taking our chances needing to get more points than Hull on the last day of the season.
Barnsley
Played 42 Points 44 GD -28
Away to Southend
Home to Crystal Palace
Home to Leicester
Away to West Brom
A bit of a mixed bag for t' Barnsley that sees them play a mammoth game against the mighty Shrimpers before welcoming a Crystal Palace side who may well be in wind-down mode for the end of season. If results go against them beforehand, Leicester will still be desperate to avoid a last gasp relegation scrap. West Brom could go either way. The likelihood is that they will have already guaranteed their position in the play-offs and will choose to rest players.
As with Hull, I wouldn't bet on us getting more points than Barnsley on the last day of the season.
Leeds
Played 42 Points 42 GD -24
Home to Burnley
Away to Southampton
Home to Ipswich
Away to Derby
I can see Leeds winning their home games but losing away to Southampton (chasing their play-off position) and Derby (chasing an automatic place). Most worrying would be that Derby might be out of the automatic promotion places by then and may rest players for the play-offs.
Southend
Played 42 Points 42 GD -25
Home to Barnsley
Away to Plymouth
Home to Luton
Away to Southampton
I don't think I'd change our run-in for any of the others, but still fear that we'll need to win both home games and snatch a point against either Plymouth or Southampton to survive. All very possible, but all very difficult. As with the other teams, I'm hoping Southampton will have their play-off place guaranteed but it looks like they'll be battling to the end of the season.
Luton (cheerio!)
Played 42 Points 37 GD -23
Home to Plymouth
Away to Derby
Away to Southend
Home to Sunderland
Personally, I think they'll be lucky if they take 3 points from the remaining fixtures. Just so long as it isn't against us, I'll be happy!
