9 wins from 20 games

[GT49er]

Let's beat Cardiff and go from there.

No - if we only need 9 wins to get promoted, while not lose half a dozen now, just for the fun of it...........

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

What if Leeds get 13 wins from 20 games?

They won't. Only 19 games left for them !

They ran out of a little more road today.

One game at a time sweet Jesus

And that should be the mantra for every Albion fan until the end of the season.

 

[Bob'n'weave]

Three losses, three draws please, win the rest. Do the ton, do the title, then do the FA cup.
Move on.

I think the best stat is that, assuming we beat Cardiff, the chasing pack will need to win 4 more games than us with us losing those 4 games. Can't see that happening. Still, one game at a time.

 

[sir albion]

Reckon 85 or less would do it as the sides below will always lose the odd games

 

[Triggaaar]

I agree ... 3rd will struggle to get to 89 from my look at fixtures

Means we have 28 points to play with whereas Leeds have 19 Reading 20 and Hudders 17. If the total needed is higher all the better as they will have even less points they can lose

Er, if the total needed is higher, doesn't that mean our competitors have have done well?

We can't go assuming victories.

Very very unlikely, the higher it goes the more likely it's driven by us and Newcastle. In the picture below (yes I know it won't happen, just about probabilities) the total required would be 94 so now instead of Leeds being able to drop 16 points they can now only drop 10 points

Of course never say never and unless and until we hit the big red star anything could happen

 

[chimneys]

What if Leeds get 13 wins from 20 games?

13 from 19 would give them 87 plus say a couple of draws 89. 11 wins from 20 for us (and no draws) would beat that.

 

[kingcole]

Sticking with this?

8 wins should do it, 7 if we beat Huddersfield, Reading and Leeds.

Sorry but 84 points will not see us promoted. Similar to last year 89/90.

Chasing pack destroy teams when teams start to have nothing to play for from mid March.

 

[moggy]

Look at the table.
We still have to play the bottom 7 teams

You are assuming we lose the games we don't win. If we draw half of those we have 89

 

[Hyperion]

10 wins and 3 draws. I think the bar is gonna be really high this season IMO

 

[Machiavelli]

You've just made me even happier.
As to others, there will not be three (or more) teams that get to 90 points. I'm prepared to have a flutter on that too.

 

[Machiavelli]

Me again. I've just had a look, and we actually still have to play the bottom eight teams, i.e. positions 17-24. We also have to play positions 12-15.

 

[chucky1973]

10 wins will be enough

for others to get 90 points from where they are would be an amazing run off form.

 

[Horsham Gull]

Plus the 11 point gap we have over third

Hmmm so what you're saying is:-

The higher up in the division team A is, at halfway.
The more teams it has to play from lower in the division.


Have you thought about getting these findings published?
