[Houso]

Can't help but think I gave too much credit to MK Dons! Absolutely horrible table mind...



(For some reason I had them winning all but two and drawing the others)

 

[BusheyBlade]

That would be horrific if it came true!

For what it's worth, this is my prediction going into the final game of the season.

 

[Houso]

That would be horrific if it came true!

I'm just hoping I didn't drop into a clairvoyant fugue of some sort! Looking back, I was definitely way way waaaaaaaaaay too generous to them.

After Satdi;

Points based on season form;

Charlton 100
Blades 90
Pigs 86
Udders 85
MK 82

Based on a projection using 'form' from last 6 games;

Charlton 95
MK 86
Blades 85
Pigs 84
Udders 81

 

[Houso]

Urgh, maybe I wasn't so daft after all.

 

[BusheyBlade]

Urgh, maybe I wasn't so daft after all.

In your horrific scenario we have another 2 games against the pigs!

 

[davidpinder]

Its going to be tight i know that i have us on 95 points with just one defeat to MK dons away and a few draws. I do have us winning every home game. My worry is that most have Exeter in and around the bottom 4 on the last day.

Don't I just know it.

Although, I'd rather face them in the semis than the final, so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

[Selly]

Using the entirely unscientific method of replicating the result from earlier in teh season, leaves teh to 6 as:

1 Charlton 96
2 Blades 88
3 Pigs 84
4 MK D 82
5 Hudds 78
6 Stevenage 74

going into the last match...

...I'd take that...

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

The bottom line is, no-one would have predicted us throwing away a 2 goal lead against Oldham, Charlton losing 2 home games on the bounce, Udders continually throwing leads away, Yeovil and Notts Co heading the form table etc etc

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I've just done it. We get relegated by losing at Exeter on the final day!

 

[SotonBlade]

Think i've been a bit generous but here's the table I came up with:

View attachment 4845

I'd be extremly surprised if:

4 teams (+ Charlton) get over 86 points
2 teams (+ Charlton) get over 90

 

[Deadbat]

I think 90 would be enough.

Indeed even 88 or 89 could be plenty.

With 11 left; if we win say 7, draw 2 and lose 2 that would put us on 91 and be enough.

Even 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats would see us on 88 and may be enough.

Bottom line I feel is we can obviously afford to lose 1, maybe 2 but 3 or more defeats and we are prob headed to the playoffs

We have lost 9 out of 35 whereas Pigs have lost 9 from 36 - both teams have similar records home and away
With 11 games left you might expect us to lose another 3 if the average is consistent over the whole series of games in a season.
Trickiest away days seem to offer potential for defeat at Notts County (given recent form) and MKD.

It's not just the defeats though - if we lost 4 and won the others that would give us an additional 21 points and a total of 89
Not sure that would be enough as over 90 seems to be what will be requred for an automatic spot.
What really throws you out of a promo race is drawing when you should have won.

Could remain unbeaten for rest of season and drop like a stone if we start to draw as regularly as Hudds

 

[Robbie]

I've just done it. We get relegated by losing at Exeter on the final day!

Did you know.... after Saturday's result, we can no longer be relegated this season?

 

[ThatJa]

This is mine.......

 

[Kenilworth]

Did you know.... after Saturday's result, we can no longer be relegated this season?

What if we go into Admin? Is that still the case?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I thought that, but we still managed it!

 

[Robbie]

What if we go into Admin? Is that still the case?

haha... I'm sure Martin Samuel would make it his priority for all our points to be deducted.

 

[SotonBlade]

This is mine.......

If Pigs get 90 points i'll eat my hat!

 

[Tray]

Goes down to the last day according to my predictions.
For some reason, Yeovil seem to be flying high on mine...

 

[Darren]

I did it for the top 5 and get

Charlton 98
United 92
Hudds 84
MKD 83
Wed 81

 

[blade too long]

I had us and charlton on 97 points and identical gd , draw lots for the title
wendies in 4th just behind huddersfield

 

[IOM Blade]

Surely that would be worth a tie-breaker at Wembley.

 

[Selly]

In the last 10 years only 10 teams have obtained 90 or more points, I can`t see 4 or more teams managing that this season.

 

[blade too long]

no they wont Id got huddersfield in 3rd on 85 and piggies on 83

 

[S64 Blade]

I got us second on 97 - Charlton first on 101. Then Wednesdays third with 89. Huddersfield forth on 87.
