Table Gazers thread 2015/16 season

[latemodelchild]

My word that's a sexy little table right now. I was hoping for a draw for derby v hull but them tanking em has painted a target on hull for us. Not sure who their game in hand is but if they lose we can pounce on any future slip ups. Another couple of wins on the bounce is a lot to ask but I reckon we'd be sitting pretty if we do it. There's time for the top 3 to stutter, it's a very slim chance though. I'm still gonna dream.

8 point gap - 18 to play for.

 

Possible but not probable.

 

Relentless from the top 3 but that tonking by Derby will have Hull rocking and Odabajo sent off to boot.  Hernandez has dried up at the right time.

[S36 OWL]

Effectively a 6 pt gap to seventh place with the goal difference

 

Happy Days  

[Holmowl]

Beautiful table. Will gaze until just after midnight, cos up early tmoz.

 

Hull well and truly in our sights now.

 

But Cardiff did really well to take a point. Musn't write them off.

for prendo again  just lovin the WWWWs

 

here's to a few more

Boro V Brighton on final day. So we need to get within a point of Boro, and 2 behind Brighton before then and a draw in that match could give us automatic?! 
We'd probabl have to win all our games, but seen far stranger things at the end of the season. 

[robswfc]

Unlikely I know, but if we won all our games, these results would get us automatic

Middlesborough
V Preston (H) - Draw
V Reading (H) - Win
V Bolton (A) - Win
V Burnley (A) - Loss
V Ipswich (H) - Loss
V Birmingham (A) - Draw
V Brighton (H) - Draw

Brighton
V Forest (A) - Win

V Fulham (H) - Win
V QPR (H) - Draw
V Charlton (A) - Win
V Derby (H) - Loss
V Boro (A) - Draw

[Utah Owl]

Just a side note, a point on Saturday guarantees a top 10 finish regardless of other results!

Love it Rob. But Boro are not going to only win two. And we wont win all six.

I genuinely do love it though.

Wednesday can seriously damage your health. I should put the wine away and go to bed, but instead I keep switching between Table Owlstalk Table Owlstalk.

Not sure about this. 1 point gives us 69 points. All the teams down to 15th (Leeds) can still equal or better that total.

[Clowne Owl]

A lot of those teams have to play each other as well, if anyone could be bothered to work it all out I think we may be mathematically top 10 already

I was thinking that - hence why I said I wasn't sure. Too difficult for my tiny brain to figure out at this time of night though. 

[Clowne Owl]

I'm working night shifts and bored so I worked it out 😆

Using the championship predictor at http://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-championship/ and assuming worst case scenario scores for teams around and below us winning and us losing all 6, 10th is the lowest we can finish!

[roaminowl]

So, if 10th is the lowest we can finish when we lose all 6 games, why would a point on Saturday guarantee us finishing 10th (at worst)?

Oops, normally arithmetic is one of my strong points!

How sweet it is. Loving this season, and if possible it appears to be getting better and better.

Only a laugh - only a bit of fun, but here's a different table for you to look at (apologies if it's been done already in the way I have done it). It's all our managers we have ever had put in order (based on points per game). Obviously it's not a fair comparison for lots and lots of reasons but here it is anyway. Carlos is looking really good in it but what's really sobering is just what a rip-snorting record Harry Catterick has. The column "No." by the way, indicates their chronological order of appointment from 1 to 32, although Big Ron appears twice, of course. Mmmm. I should really have combined his figures, I suppose.

 

Or so it was going to be, but the faarking table didn't copy properly. I'll try again later!

 

Anyhow, Catterick is best and Carlos 2nd
