Huddersfield still have to play Blackburn, so they can't both finish on maximum points.

Starting to get a little complicated. Leeds still have to play Wolves and Reading. QPR still have to play Reading and Leeds to play. It's possible for three of them to match our points total, so that's one more space. It currently looks like this (I think):

Ooh, no. Not quite right. Because one of Leeds, QPR, Reading and Wolves will have to finish below us, we can't finish in 14th, it should look like this:

Ipswich can only equal our current points tally (75); they can't get 78 - and they'd have an eighteen goal goal difference to overcome to finish above us.

Right you are. I only half entered today's result so it didn't reflect in the table.

However, for Ipswich to overtake we would have to lose, reducing our GD by at least 6, Ipswich would have to win all their remaining games increasing theirs by at least 5 reducing the difference from 18 to 7 just with 1-0 wins. With 11 fixtures between us, there wouldn't need to be any unusually high goal tallies to overcome that.


EDIT: I've also noticed some other errors on the table. Need to check my files...

Don't worry, none of them affect which teams can and can't catch us. We're still on for a top 9 finish.
