These are our remaining games Try to predict where the points will be won. 3 points for correct result, double points for correct score. Bonus 5 points for getting the correct number of points as shown in the final League 2 table. League situation as at 5th March 2014
I've gone first so you can copy and paste the matches and just amend the scores as required Sat 8 Mar Hartlepool Home 1-1 1,1 Tue 11 Mar Plymouth Home 1-3 0,1 Sat 15 Mar York Away 0-1 3,4 Tue 18 Mar Cheltenham Away 0-1 3,7 Sat 22 Mar Rochdale Home 0-3 0,7 Tue 25 Mar Burton Away 2-1 0,7 Sat 29 Mar S****horpe Away 3-0 0,7 Sat 5 Apr Dag & Red Home 1-1 1,8 Sat 12 Apr Newport Away 1-1 1,9 Fri 18 Apr Northampton Home 3-0 3,12 Mon 21 Apr Fleetwood Away 2-1 0,12 Sat 26 Apr Bristol Rovers Home 2-1 3,15 Sat 3 May Torquay Away 2-0 0,15 Total points at finish 53
why do I get a feeling im going to look back at this in 2 months and have scored nothing Sat 8 Mar Hartlepool Home 2-1 3,3 Tue 11 Mar Plymouth Home 0-2 0,3 Sat 15 Mar York Away 1-1 1,4 Tue 18 Mar Cheltenham Away 1-2 3,7 Sat 22 Mar Rochdale Home 0-1 0,7 Tue 25 Mar Burton Away 1-1 1,8 Sat 29 Mar S****horpe Away 3-1 0,8 Sat 5 Apr Dag & Red Home 2-0 3,11 Sat 12 Apr Newport Away 2-1 0,11 Fri 18 Apr Northampton Home 2-3 0,11 Mon 21 Apr Fleetwood Away 0-1 3,14 Sat 26 Apr Bristol Rovers Home 2-1 3,17 Sat 3 May Torquay Away 2-1 0,17 Total points at finish 55
I'd like to take that **** out of Scunthorpe. May take a leaf out of brb's book and call them Skunthorpe.
yeh, I meant for it to be a 3-1 defeat, but of course I hope im wrong!!! and I think calling them skunthorpe is the wayforward!
Fat chance Guy. That requires 4 straight wins, involving Hartlepool, Plymouth, York and Cheltenham. If we achieve that we could almost start to celebrate
I'm rubbish at predicting Wycombe games, so maybe I should put defeats for all of them?? Sat 8 Mar Hartlepool Home 1-0 3,3 Tue 11 Mar Plymouth Home 1-1 1,4 Sat 15 Mar York Away 1-1 1,5 Tue 18 Mar Cheltenham Away 2-1 3,5 Sat 22 Mar Rochdale Home 1-0 3,8 Tue 25 Mar Burton Away 2-1 0,8 Sat 29 Mar S****horpe Away 2-0 0,8 Sat 5 Apr Dag & Red Home 1-0 3,11 Sat 12 Apr Newport Away 1-2 3,14 Fri 18 Apr Northampton Home 1-2 0,14 Mon 21 Apr Fleetwood Away 0-1 0,17 Sat 26 Apr Bristol Rovers Home 1-1 1,18 Sat 3 May Torquay Away 3-0 0,18 Thats 18pts gained. I'll settle for that. Total 56 points and safety.
Sat 8 Mar Hartlepool Home 1-0 3,3 Tue 11 Mar Plymouth Home 0-2 0,3 Sat 15 Mar York Away 1-1 1,4 Tue 18 Mar Cheltenham Away 1-2 3,7 Sat 22 Mar Rochdale Home 1-2 0,7 Tue 25 Mar Burton Away 2-1 0,7 Sat 29 Mar S****horpe Away 3-1 0,7 Sat 5 Apr Dag & Red Home 1-1 1,8 Sat 12 Apr Newport Away 0-1 3,11 Fri 18 Apr Northampton Home 2-2 1,12 Mon 21 Apr Fleetwood Away 2-0 0,12 Sat 26 Apr Bristol Rovers Home 2-0 3,15 Sat 3 May Torquay Away 0-2 3,18 Thats 18pts which should do us
to put things into perspective, heres how many points have been required to stay up previously 12/13 - 51 11/12 - 45 10/11 - 48 09/10 - 45 08/09 - 42 (technically it was lower but luton had a 30 point deduction) basically 50 points should do it!
If 50 points is the target we need 8 more points from 9 games. That would leave: Torquay needing 14 points from 9 games Northampton needing 12 points from 9 games Exeter needing 9 points from 9 games Portsmouth needing 8 points from 9 games Bristol R needing 8 points from 10 games Bury needing 14 points from 9 games Mansfield needing 7 points from 9 games Wimbledon & Accrington needing 6 points from 9 games Looking at the current form table, if we assume that each team will continue their current form in terms of points per game the above teams will end up as follows (all points rounded up): 56 Bristol R 55 Mansfield 55 Accrington 54 Wycombe 53 Wimbledon 52 Northampton 52 Bury 51 Portsmouth 47 Torquay 44 Exeter If we continue at the same rate as our last 6 games (ie finish on 54 points but all other teams manage to clock up at the rate of the most in form of the above (Northampton with 1.5 points per game) the table would end up as: 58 Accrington 58 Wimbledon 57 Bristol R 57 Mansfield 57 Bury 56 Portsmouth 55 Exeter 54 Wycombe 52 Northampton 50 Torquay All academic I know; it's very unlikely that so many teams could average 1.5 points per game but if they averaged 1 point per game the table would look like this: 53 Accrington 53 Wimbledon 52 Bristol R 52 Mansfield 52 Bury 51 Wycombe 51 Portsmouth 50 Exeter 47 Northampton 45 Torquay I haven't looked to see which teams are playing each other but we have only 3 of them to play. If we can beat those we should be safe.
Since this game started Wycombe have picked up 4 points. This is how many points we thought we would have picked up: Ron 7 Jose 3 Canary 5 Phil 7
2 games on we still have 4 points on the board This is how many points we thought we would have picked up: Ron 7 Jose 3 Canary 8 Phil 7
As at 26th March, 2 games later Exeter, Mansfield, Wimbledon & Accrington look home and dried Wycombe, Portsmouth and Torquay have made no progress
After yesterday's games, as there are only 4 of us, here are the individual scores: The Difference Column shows how Wycombe are progressing compared to our predictions. A minus indicates they are doing worse than predicted To summarise: Canary and Jose both predicted we would have 3 more points at this stage Phil and Ron both predicted we would be where we are in terms of points achieved In terms of the game, Jose leads the way with 18 points having correctly predicted two scorelines
