[Albion] 2021-22 Teams We Can't Catch/Can't Catch Us Thread

[Thunder Bolt]

Out of interest - how come we can't catch Man U but can catch West Ham but both are on the same points ?

The maximum we can get is 53 points.

 

[Stato]

Oh no !

This just leads to the dreaded Orange being used.

I was just curious...

They're not on the same points. They have the same maximum possible points.

 

[Stato]

It means that strangely, if 14th placed Brentford lose against 15th placed Southampton on Saturday, we'll be kicking off our game mathematically safe.

Well that cursed that. However, Burnley turn red if they don't make a second half recovery. That would confirm our mathematical safety before kick off too.

Beat United and we can adds Saints and Leeds to the red list

Came for the statistics, stayed for the hexadecimal colour values.

Everton are very unlikely to score enough surely?

You'd like to think so, but look at Bristol Rovers today.

Ew, I’d rather not… take your point mind.

 

[A1X]

We are staying up
Say we are staying up

Everton are very unlikely to score enough surely?

No, but it's not mathematically certain yet.

 

[Acker79]

On further thinking... For Everton to overtake us, they need to win all 5 of their remaining games, and we'd have to lose both of ours. Currently we're on -4 GD they are on -20. To get to the points tie, it would need to go to at least -6 v -15. So there would need to be a further swing of 10 further goals across the 7 games.

If we lose both 2-0, everton can go with three 3-0s and two 2-0s. Making it -8 v -7. Due to their 5 games remaining, the GD difference isn't actually such that it would require freakishly high scores (just a freak run of wins for an Everton side that has struggled this season).

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Beat Leeds and we guarantee at least matching our best ever league finish of 13th.

Awesome.

Updated Wolves:

My usual prem table hadn't updated, so I tried to do it manually. I knew I'd miss one.

 

[macbeth]

so we WILL be the top-placed south coast team this season then
