Points Required

[supaseagull]

I've just looked at the Predictor on the BBC website and one thing that i've found is that Millwall could actually be real dark horses in the play off race. They have 2 winnable games in hand and a relatively straight forward run in.

I wonder if their fans would be allowed into Wembley if they got through to the play off final?

 

[Hove Seagull]

I think we will win our two remaining home games, and have at least 72 points (anything we get at Leeds will be a bonus). That could be enough to finish 4th.
Wolves having to come out for a win on the last day could be viewed as a good thing for us, allowing us in behind to attack.
If Wolves need only a point to guarantee survival, and a point is not enough to get us in the play-offs, then we might have a problem.
Given the choice, Bolton would be the team to avoid in the p-o semis.

If they win all 5 games they would be on 70 points, which would allow them just to scrape in. But I can't see them winning all of them tbh.

I've just had a go at that and from being very positive beforehand I now have us scraping into the play-offs on goal difference with 70 points with Forest and Leicester missing out. Millwall don't feature in the mix for me.
That goal difference of ours is absolutely crucial.

If you go on to BBC sport football championship predictor you can play around with the results anyway you wish to see what might happen.One of the worst is Wolves coming to us needing a win to stay up whilst we need something to make the play offs.If that happens I'll be wearing my brown trousers to the final game.

you mean the ones you have been wearing all season like me

Thank's for the contribution'..........

My pleasure ... always happy to help.

The good thing is that everyone around us is playing teams that still need something to either stay up or get into the play offs.
Last day could be interesting

Forrest v Leicester both playing for play offs
Palace v Peterborough fighting for playoffs and to avoid relegation
Bolton v Blackburn again both will need something
And us, so last day could see a lot of changes in positions over the 90 mins.

Would be good for us to have at least 4 points in the bag before then.

It would ramp up the drama and indeed the atmsophere if, every time a goal went in elsewhere, it flashed up on the Amex screens

 

[Daffy Duck]

I'm hoping & hoping that we've already done the deed come the last game and then we can just sit back and watch all the others fight it out amongst themselves.

But that'll probably never happen. We are the Albion after all and we're used to squeaky bums (not in a gay sense, though)!

I prefer the rumours going around the ground, I hope one of the old blokes brings a radio to the game, used to see plenty of people do this at withdean.

Was anyone at the Watford game under coppell towards the end of the season and there was actually a cheer for the palaces goals. we went on to dick watford 5-0 possibly, oatway scoring at least one.

Well obviously - all Brightonians carry lube.

 

[KJP]

If no one has a radio we will have to send 1 person from each block into the concourse every 5 minutes to check the scores.

I'd also like them to put Soccer Saturday on the big screens at HT and Full Time

Do stattos not learn grammar? ... play off's ... ? It's a plural laddie - PLURALS DO NOT NEED APOSTROPHES. Or if you were writing it - plural's do not need apostrophe's.

It really isn't difficult.

If we're going to be pedantic: should it actually be plays-off?
(...using the same rules as I understand the plural of "spoonful" should be "spoonsful")

Surely, play-off is the descriptive part, so it should really be play-off games (no apostrophe!)

Oddly, I lost interest in my own thread at about 1202 today.

Or should that be noon02 12:02 012-12, twelve minuted past.
bla bla bla

As it stands now 72 points would see off one of Leicester or Forest and we would need Bolton to not win all of their last three.

But even if they did, and Palace lost all theirs, we would still be OK? Or even Watford losing ALL their games....

 

[rool]

Absolutely, just looking at the chasing pack really.

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

I'd rather Wolves needed a win against us than a draw!!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

We'll get another 4 points and our GD will see us through, how we get those points is anyone's guess! My feeling Blackpool 3 pts, Leeds 0 pts and Wolves 1 pt.
