Up-to-date Saturday 3pm table (with remaining fixtures)

Following Swindon's lunchtime win; shows the GD and remaining fixtures of just the clubs we can catch.....and of those who can catch us.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Its in our hand. 2 wins and we stay up.

 

[Acker79]

Its in our hand. 2 wins and we stay up.

If we win massively to the point it brings goal difference comfortably in our favour, a win and a draw is enough even if carlisle win both their games.

But I'd prefer two wins.

And that's only presuming Carlisle win both their games; anything less, and a single win for us will secure.

Er... if Carlisle win both their games and we draw, we'll be going down on goal difference. So I'm not sure how you calculated otherwise.

What we do have going for us, is that there are other teams on the edge, and there could be others slipping up if we can get a win next week.
'If' is still a big word, and we could be left regretting a mere dropped point from the season that could have saved us from relegation.

Err, not if we win 5-0.

 

[Acker79]

Er... if Carlisle win both their games and we draw, we'll be going down on goal difference. So I'm not sure how you calculated otherwise.

That's why I stressed we had to win massively and turn the goal difference in our favour. When I wrote that we were on -16 and they were on -15. If they won both their games they'd be on -13, at least.

So, if we won our one win 4-0. We'd be on -12 goal difference, to Carlisle's -13, and we'd be safe.

It's a moot point now. A draw is not enough if Carlisle win, and a win is Carlisle's only hope.

So we have to go out for a win.

Good news is that Carlisle won't have Bridges as he got sent off

So, after Saturday 25 April's results, the situation is:

If Brighton win v Stockport
We stay up

If Brighton draw v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose at Millwall

But if Carlisle win at Millwall, we need Northampton to lose both remaining games to MK Dons (h) and Leeds (a) - both opponents with nothing to play for.

If Brighton lose v Stockport
We need Carlisle to draw or lose at Millwall, and the total goal difference of our defeat together with an unwanted Crewe victory to not be more than four goals (otherwise Crewe would send Brighton and Carlisle down).
But if Carlisle win at Millwall, we need Northampton to lose both games by massive margins - such as 9-0 and 9-0 (and even then if might not be enough)!

(Stockport have no chance of relegation - even if they got deducted 10 points this season)
