Borough run in permutations

[tafkaDG]

In the light of the Argus article yesterday about different start times I knocked up a table summarising what some pretty likely outcomes from Friday & Monday might mean for our target on the final day. It is a big advantage to us that Boro play first. For instance if (please God) Boro were to lose by 2 goals at Birmingham, CH would know that a 2 goal margin of victory for us over Derby would be well worth playing for, but a 3 goal margin was unnecessary.
Can anyone let me know how to insert a small spreadsheet?

Best bet is to take a screen cap of the bit of the spreadsheet you want to use, and then upload as an image.

Or email it to me: bozza @ northstandchat.com and I'll do it.

Sounds a riveting idea, I'm all over it.

 

[Bigtomfu]

Come on chaps where is it? I need another spreadsheet of permutations in my life.

I'm in danger of having to be productive at work!

Even if we lose to derby by 1 goal and boro win by 1 goal (-4 goal difference) it's not impossible, we'd need 2 goals diff against boro as each goal we score against them is +1 for us and -1 for them, effectively double. We've scored more than them.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Its only an advantage if Boro fail to win. Just puts more pressure on if they get 3 points.

 

[Notters]

Big advantage? I think not. Very very very slight advantage? Maybe, maybe not.

It's Derby who will have a say in how many goals we score on Monday, not Middlesbrough.

Straight out of "The School of Stating the Bleedin' Obvious" but the fewer goals we need to score at Boro the better. They have only conceded 7 goals at home ALL SEASON

very true but pressure can do strange things..... and at home, 1 game from PL, its a cup final. All that went before is out the window

You saying they're due a shellacking then?

They haven't played anyone decent yet.

Another permutations thread.




Yay.

Prediction League for the next five fixtures? Not my prerogative.

Nah, just wait 'til Monday evening.
We'll all know what's needed then.

It is a big advantage to us that Boro play first.

Boro will have 3 days more rest & preparation than our players before the big game. I think that outweighs any advantage of knowing their result first.

Again though, it's pure speculation what impact this will have - they also have three days more worrying about it.

It does seem somewhat unfair though, given that we also have to spend one of those days travelling up there - so they really have four more days.

Surely Tony will fly the squad up on the Friday evening? Quick drive from Lancing to Shoreham, 1 hour (ish?) in the air and a short drive at the other end?

This is true.

Whatever the result on Friday, we will be trying to put as many past Derby as we can, whilst conceding none.
