14	Ipswich Town	46	15	12	19	58	59		-1	57
15	Bristol City	46	14	15	17	60	65		-5	57
16	Middlesbrough	46	15	12	19	58	66		-8	57
17	Barnsley	46	13	15	18	54	67		-13	54
18	Doncaster Rovers	46	12	15	19	60	79		-19	51
19	Derby County	46	12	12	22	57	66		-9	48
20	Crystal Palace	46	12	11	23	46	70		-24	47
21	Coventry City	46	11	13	22	49	62		-13	46
22	Sheffield United	46	9	12	25	41	72		-31	39
23	Scunthorpe United	46	10	5	31	37	82		-45	35
24	Preston North End	46	7	13	26	52	81		-29	34

The top five spots remain unchanged.  Nottingham Forest moved up to 6th and Watford drops out of the playoffs.  Although both teams lost this past weekend, Watford's loss hurts their projection more because they were expected to beat Middlesbrough while Forest was expected to lose to Swansea.

The projected playoff final is now Reading vs Cardiff with Reading projected to move on to the Premier League.
