So the Championship predictor is out. This is predicted by the clever people at Sky, having captured enough data, processed it through their super computer and got some interesting results.
The results are here...

If you don’t wanna click the link, the top six, in order is below.
Wolves
Sheffield United
Preston
Nottingham Forest
Leeds United
Derby County
The Sky Sports predictor is based on a system called Elo, originally set up to rate chess players. It takes into account form, who your team still has left to play, and how well a team has done in previous seasons.

Thought you had more imagination than that strap on Strett.
Super duper computer would be much more app.
BTW 4th
Computer says NO.

Said it before, will say it again.... lower mid table would be solid progress on last year, we shouldn't expect any better. If we do better than that
These predictions are notoriously inaccurate and short term form related. I don't think we'll hit playoffs

Yes, I am realistic too. It would be remarkable if Forest managed to finish fourth. They would need so many things to align for them!
A good solid showing in the FA Cup and a top 12 finish would be more than satisfactory for me.

Very very generous prediction from Sky.
I'd suggest a couple of factors which have contributed to our current place in the table:
The first is that our injury situation has not been as severe as in previous seasons. I think only David Vaughan's injury has had a negative effect, whereas we have coped without Cohen, Hobbs, Fox, Cash, and Ward.
The second factor has been that I think we could have been punished more severely early in the season when our ability to play out from the back was put under a lot of pressure and we got away without many mistakes resulting in goals against. The back line has looked more comfortable recently especially with the added experience of Lichaj and Fox to call on.
Our final position will depend on continued improvement in our adopting MW's way of playing ('The Forest Way' ); good fortune with injuries, and suspensions; and the winter window.
Like most I'll be happy with mid table 9th - 15th; top half will be terrific

Spot on. Let’s hope you haven’t just cursed Forest regarding injuries!

Were they using a Sinclair Spectrum for that prediction?

I'd love it. And a Wembley final between Derby and Forest. What a dream to hang on to.

What did yesterday's result do to the top 6 predictor Strett? Thought that was a bankable 3 points??
