We're in one at the moment and we are not the favourite, can we come up on the rails?

My pick for top 2 is Sunderland and Leeds.
Sunderland are improving. Leeds always the tendency to self destruct, which will cost them the title
I would say Leeds a definite automatic and the Blades are strengthening with Tom Cannon and Brereton-Diaz coming in the January window but like you say Sunderland have been consistently good especially going forward so between them for the second automatic.We could be there if we strengthen up front and tweak tactics.Getting some players back from injury would help also.I believe we have the quality but it is not being utilized.

Our lack of firepower will derail us. The "Goals For" column does not lie.![]()
The bookies have us sussed, we're odds-on to be in the play-offs.
I think we are evens to finish in the top two with Sheffield United at 11/10 and Sunderland the rank outsider. As I see it Leeds will be Champions and we will be scrapping for the other automatic spot with the Blades. Getting a target man alongside Flemming could make all the difference in the remaining 17 games. I wouldn’t want to go through the play offs.
Weeds and the Blades in my opinion will be automatic.The Blades have had a blip at the moment but they have strengthened up front and the benefits of those additions will soon show.
Having the best defence in the football league is all well and good but if you offer nothing at the other end then we are not going to get promoted even via the play-offs.0-0 draws and averaging less than a goal per game does not get you promoted.If we do not strengthen before the window shuts we will not get promoted.
Who cares though because we will have broken all the records for least goals conceded and for having the most clean sheets.
Sodding hell,I thought this thread was gonna be another red hot tip from sinkov to Alf that I could muscle in on
