    Bristol City’s play-off maths: What the data says about the Robins' top 6 hopes this season
    We've looked back at the past five seasons to work out the Robins' chances of securing a play-off spot

    https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-citys-play-maths-what-1279146

    'The other two games of the season come against their direct rivals for 6th spot. A trip to Middlesbrough in mid-April and a possibly titanic clash against Sheffield United at Ashton Gate on the last day of the season.

    If City can collect points from their more favourable fixtures before these two games, The Robins may not have to worry about winning both or either if they can achieve between 75 and 80 points come the end of the season.'

    You can have a GUESS here.>......>>>

    We can still qualify for the play offs, just a final push to the end of the season.

    If we get our form back I'm sure we'll make the playoffs , if not we won't and won't deserve to .
    Either way it's still been an enjoyable season and football layer earlier in the season some of the best I've seen at Ashton Gate for many years.

    Listened to LJ and Flint just now and seems LJ's picking a side with great mobility and to play the same game as before Christmas.
    Really think we'll win this w/e.
    Ps - Great news about Flint.

    Bristol City passing accuracy v Cardiff 53%. Bristol City passing accuracy v Sheffield Wednesday 86%.

    The team with more mobility was?

    Also a degree of playing a full back at full back and Magnusson at CB. The opposition did play a (insipid) part, but the efficiency in moving the ball and its retention was light and shade between the two.

    53% passing accuracy?! That's appalling.

    Two different stats. Two different results. And in Bristol City's case two styles leading to outcomes that would not be unexpected.

    If you were about in the eighties that was normal. Players could get fined for making too many passes!!!
