League 1 teams have now all hit the 14 match marker. What do we see and what can we predict?
Oxford continue to be in the conversation for automatic promotion and a great last 7 games from Portsmouth has propelled them to the top. I expect both these teams to be in the top 3 at the end of the season as it already looks a 3 horse race for the top 2 spots. Bolton continue to impress and will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
Barnsley and Peterborough may spoil the promotion party but they have played a game more and their ppg indicates a strong play off run with no indication of a top 2 push.
The January transfer window may be fascinating and the teams from the current top 4 or 5 who get that right may secure promotion. Last season, Ipswich and Plymouth both invested heavily in the January transfer window while Sheffield Wednesday did little business. Plymouth and Ipswich secured the automatic promotion spots while Wednesday faded from the top 2. They did scrape up via the playoffs...but probably wish they hadn't given they have yet to win a game in the Championship.
I am also starting a points per game tracker - take a look! - L1 - PPG tracker
