I was hoping somebody else would do this as I found myself putting in the result I wanted when I tried! needless to say, we comfortably won the league.
Of the 17 teams left for us to play, we picked up 36 points against them.
Repeat that form and we finish with 89 points. Would be mightly unlucky not to get promoted with that, but it has happened before and there are a good handful of us this season, it’s not like the usual three teams fighting for two places, there’s five of us who believe we can get top two.
Could mean the top two need 92 points, which would be a tough ask.
However, I really do believe we can do it. All it takes is a run and we are already on one. Win a few more in a row now and suddenly things could really be very, very exciting.
Was it you that had a spreadsheet that showed all positions you could finish using a baseball formula?
E number or w number ?
Yeah, it was. I’ll see if I can dig it out. (It’s only fun if we’re in with a shout of the autos, so there’s been little point for the last few years!)
Keep the faith,Portsmouth slipping,Sunderland drawing too many games,Luton will have a bad run we have good players still to come back from injury ,that will be like new signings when the games come thick and fast.
Tuesday week is the really big one which I might even be tempted to purchase
Luton v Portsmouth!!!!
The gap between those two and the chasing three of Sunderland | Charlton | Barnsley - Only one of them can win and so reopen a temporary gap, best result will be a draw as that'll suit neither team, its a shame SKY arent showing it as they've no games scheduled that night

And perhaps, importantly ..... this fixture plays the game in hand that both Luton and Pompey have on us.
I did it and had us finishing on 90. I think I was being far too optimistic, especially considering we are likely to be without Taylor for 5 games. A lot relies on if we get a decent 3rd striker in, we don't lose Grant and if we can overturn the ban (I doubt we can).

I’m going! Sitting in the luton end with a season ticket holder! Chief scout for the night!
Hand on heart - top six . If we get to Wembley, who knows? Lovely big pitch, would suit our game. This of course depends on whether we keep our best players and maybe bring in a couple more?
pretty much cliché time .. all we can do is to keep on winning .. we still have Donny, Pompey, Posh and Luton to play .. win those, all 'six pointers' and we will be right in the frame for the automatic spots
Good to see both Portsmouth and Sunderland won their games in the Micky Mouse cup tonight. Hopefully a nice fixture pile up on the way for the pair of them.

Repeat that we are on 84.
Get 6 points from last 3 games - 90 points.
Average to go up automatically is 88
All hypothetical I know.
At this stage it’s just great to be in the mix.
You never know.....

I mean if everyone else draws 0-0 for the rest of the season we're in with a chance
(But I had to redo a few results to make sure that both Gillingham and Accrington Stanley got relegated).
2. Luton
3. Sunderland
4. Portsmouth
5. Charlton
Have it all as being pretty close though.
As Forever says, both teams can't win.
Might want to rework your figures chaps.....
