Quick Football Quiz/Prediction
Let's lighten all the doom and gloom around here.
In any season in a league with 24 teams (and with no points deductions) it takes 23 games before a team can theoretically not win the league. The top team would have to win 23 and the bottom team lose 23 and goal difference would have to be in play.
Currently Leicester have 39 points and we have 9. Theoretically we could be ruled out as potential champions of The Championship as early as after our 25th game.
So when will it actually happen? Will Leicester continue on their tear, will we continue with our tears? Are you a Pocket like glass half full fan or an IBS like 'we don't even have a glass fan'.
I'll go for after 32 games.

Ipswich's late equalizer tonight at least means we're guaranteed to still be in the title hunt after our 29th game (at home to Southampton)

Think we'll finish on about 32 points.

It may come as a surprise but I am sad to announce that after just 29 games we cannot be crowned champions of The Championship for the 2023-24 season. Just 5 games over the minimum possible to achieve this feat if we had lost all our games and Leicester City had won all theirs.
PS With just 2 entries, Brin wins the competition
