Who's got the easiest run-in to the playoffs

Its that time of the season where i look at the top 10 and follow the progress week by week.

I know the championship throws out some surprise results every season, but who's run-in would you pick out of this lot. QPR appear to have a few tough games coming up, Coventry's doesnt look very favourable either

Sheff U and QPR are yet to play each other this season!

On paper ours isnt too bad. With difficult matches against Fulham and Huddersfield thankfully at home, and an away match at Bournemouth. Bournemouth’s and Huddersfield’s look the most difficult
 
Disregarding Bournemouth and Fulham, who I think will be the top 2, Huddersfield seem to have the 'hardest' and Blackburn the 'easiest', but sometimes the tougher the games the easier it is mentally.

I still say we're odds-on to finish in the top 6, all clubs have a sticky patch, hopefully we've had ours now.

Yes but Barnsley and Bristol City looked easy games on paper and we lost both
We are impossible to predict

I think QPR has the toughest run in.. the nearer to the end of the season that teams meet Bournemouth or Fulham the better I think. If you’re promoted there’s no way the whole team is gonna get to those top levels.

We might see some drop off from top end play off teams..

Similar with the likes of Derby.. they will be fighting for their lives. Worst time to face them is the end of the season imo.

it’s gonna get alot more freaky!!
 
Advantage for us is our last 4 games are against teams who I suspect will have nothing to play for by then - will certainly be the case against Cardiff, Swansea and Stoke, but should be the same against Preston on the final day too.
