5 GAMES TO GO Swindon 7 games to go 21 points total 91 points max play PNE so total likely 91 - 89 - 88 so effectively cant win the league and will need a divine miracle to go up automatically. MKD 6 games to go 18 points done playing top teams so likely total could be 93 points, but win 6 more? PNE 6 games to go and 18 points total 98 points play Swindon and CITY so points could be 98 - 96- 92 .. current run won 10 drawn 3 so will they beat our run won 10 drawn 6 .. Bristol City 5 games to go total of 103pts max but play PNE so likely 103 - 101 - 100 so still chance for triple figures 2 home and 3 away. Sat a draw will be worth a win as both sides are a game closer to the final reckoning. PNE then needing CITY TO LOSE 3 OF THEIR LAST 5 AND DRAW 2 a CITY win would mean PNE need city to lose their last 4 PNE win 5 a PNE win would mean they need City to lose 2 more win 1 and draw 1 ( of course Swindon could go on a winning streak and beat PNE for us!) come on the ROBINS
so we only need to win 2 games to return to the championship this time next week.......................
Far easier to read my spreadsheet. Enter the result and it works it out . Incidentally we can get promoted by gaining another 5 points if we maintain a better goal difference than MK Similarly its 10 points needed to be champions (we are currently 9 goals better off than Preston)
LARED my spreadsheets are set up for the obvious, the worst scenario ( rounded down) the best scenario ( rounded up )they take into consideration past results, level playing field and past results against teams away top half (periodically revised 4-5 games) past results against teams away bottom half (periodically revised 4-5 games) past results against home top half (periodically revised 4-5 games) past results against home bottom half (periodically revised 4-5 games) Current as above previous 10 games ( no more than a 6-4 split ) the above is not based on spreadsheets just simple logic with less games to go spreadsheet calculations above become/appear more erratic they are not the final outcome just a guide based on figures what might happen..laws of probability EXAMPLE OF THIS IS in the table on different post City would lose 2 (v Swindon was L .. D and W just less than .5 in calc ) we won! PNE D THEN WIN (city) BUT BEAT bRADFORD 10 MEN! but that's football ......... part extract .........................................................................................................................23 28 ........ 28 33 ........ 33 38 ........ 38 43 LEAGUE ..... ..... ...... ..... ...... ..... ...... ..... ...... ..Top ......
