    It throws a certain amount of randomness into it's calculations, so if you run it multiple times, you'll get slightly different results each time. I've tried it a good few times, and it nearly always predicts Wigan top, MK Dons second, and then us anything from 3rd to 6th. I've not seen it put us 7th, but it's obviously possible.

    Best bet is to predict the scores for the top 7 or 8 teams yourselves, and just leave it to do the rest.

    Done it twice more and we were 6th each time.

    A win at Plymouth would see us end up fourth.

    I'd put us down for a draw but Plymouth have injuries and they're capable of a slip up. They only had one goal attempt at Ipswich iirc.

    All teams are capable of beating each other in this league not matter where they are in the league.
    We just have to make sure we're not about to let any of them beat us in the next 8 games.
    Sounds easy doesn't it.

    "Argyle, without top-scorer Ryan Hardie and captain Joe Edwards through injury, missed the chance to go third."


    Every little helps.

    On the plus side it puts pressure on MK to batter Sheff Wed ...

    ... thereby making our GD better than theirs <laugh>

    I'm more positive that we can get some kind of result at Plymouth the way Neil has us playing. We're stronger defensively now than we've been at any other time this season (yesterday's game aside) and we have players up the business end who can score goals. I think we'll have both Wright and Batth back in defence and Evans in front of them and I'll leave the rest for Neil to sort out

    We really need MK Dons to beat them. I think they will.

    Top 2 places are gone, we need a cushion between us and 7th.

    That's how I view it, we need to get into the play-offs with a game to spare, and then go for it , dont care who else is in there with us , we will be the team to fear. .

    Just seen Sheff Wed line up....think i want them to lose & miss out on playoffs, Sheff Wed are unpredictable but might handle the playoffs better....why could it just be simple with safc & we just secured ourselves a top 2 spot ffd
