richwwtk Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 we need 84 points to be definatly in tghe playoffs, as blackpool can still technically still get 83If Blackpool caught us we'd still be 6th and in the play offs. If we beat Swansea we'd have 78 points, their max would be 76 and Tranmere in 8th have a maximum of 77 so yes, we'd be in the play-offs at least with a win on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednready Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 To summarise. If Forest, Yeovil and Oldham all get the magical 2 points per game for the remaining six matches, they will have : Forest 83, Oldham 79, Yeovil 79, thats 12 points each. Only S****horpe have come close to the 2 points a game and thats 79 from 40 matches. That leaves City. Lets say we do worse than the other teams and our average drops to 1.5 points a game, thats a total of 9, giving us 84 for the season. That is also GJ's reasoning, in the media he says we need just 3 more wins, thats 9 points. Another win or a draw would be nice as insurance, but the season has proved that every team, high or low can beat each other, and that inconsistancy makes it highly unlikely that any of the above teams will do better than the top average of 2 points a game.

That would leave us only needing another win from four matches! These next two games must rank amongst the most important in our recent history, and I'm pretty pleased that apart from McAllister and Murray we've got a more or less full strength squad coming into them.It will be an exciting easter, no question!

And if they lose one game we can afford to lose two games, which is an useful position to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
