*** Official can´t catch us thread ***

[Perkino]

A win today garuntee's Rochdale, Leyton Orient, Bournemouth & MK Dons join the list unless MK can overthrow a +35 GD in their remaining 7 games

 

[Acker79]

Rochdale or Bournemouth are already on the list. Both need to win all their games, and they play each other (on the last day of the season apparently), so one of them has to stay below us.

So guaranteed play-offs this week

 

[severnside gull]

Am I right in thinking that if we win our next two games (home against Wednesday and Dagenham) we will have 90 points and be guaranteed promotion?
Not wishing to cross any bridges but I suspect we would all be pretty upset if we didn't get 6 points from those two fixtures and then after that, if we win at Walsall, a point against SCC guarantees we go up as champions (assuming they haven't dropped points before that).

No


Huddersfield can get 91 points, SCC 95.

 

[Rugrat]

Huddersfield's run in is tough ... can even see Posh overhauling them. Saints next 3 look tricky too and if results go the way I reckon we could guarantee promotion if we win next 2 and Champions at Walsall

Peterborough H 9th April
Charlton A 16th April
MK Dons A 22nd April
Dagenham H 25th April
Albion A 30th April
Brentford H 7th May

 

[Rugrat]

They're dropping points from those next 3 for sure .. just a question of how many

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wishful thinking, however don't Huddersfield have six games left - 91 points max

 

[Acker79]

They do, but the sixth game is against Peterborough, who in the table above I gave the points to.

This table started as a way of working out if any of the teams that can still finish above us will be affected by the games they have to play against each other. Back then it had Charlton, Orient, Rochdale, and Carlisle in it, and there were more games between them. Now we are down to just four teams that can finish above us, and only one game within those 4. (The last one showed Rochdale needed to win all their games to get more points than us, but one of them was against Bournemouth who also needed to win that game, showing at least one of them would stay below us - not sure if I posted that particular table come to think of it).

As we're on 84, at the moment it doesn't matter if Peterborough or Huddersfield win their game because they both have enough games without those points to get more than the 84 points we currently have so I gave the win to Peterborough in the table pretty randomly.

Using the long winded BBC prediction thread

I have us winning league on 101 points with Saints second on 89 and a better GD

Anyone know if their are any around that just do top 4 teams fixtures

You can just fill in the matches of the teams you are interested in, ie those teams that can catch us, to save time.

Bournemouth fall tonight if they fail to win at Bristol Rovers
