Rick - Norfolk Owl Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) I know it’s on a lot of minds and, I suspect we’ve all done these permutations, but I consider it therapeutic to get this down ‘on paper’. So if Carlsberg did penultimate Saturday Results Forecast - it would look like this: Southampton v Stoke - home win QPR v Leeds - away win Blackburn v Coventry - draw Millwall v Plymouth - draw WAWAW v WBA - home win Huddersfield v Birmingham - home win So the table at 5pm Saturday would look something like this - Stoke. 50 pts QPR. 50 pts Blackburn. 50 pts WAWAW. 50 pts Plymouth. 49 pts Huddersfield. 47 pts Birmingham. 46 pts Time for a lay down - this is too stressful and we’ve still got the final weekend to go!

Lionel Fessi Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 My head says we’ll be back into the bottom 3 after Saturday and then escape again on the final day. I reckon it’s more likely Birmingham beat Huddersfield & we either draw or lose to WBA. Then in theory all of Plymouth, QPR, Stoke & Blackburn would still be at risk (unless they win on Saturday). So final game day of the season could have as many as 6 teams battling to avoid that final relegation spot. Given up trying to predict results. But Huddersfield winning would do us a huge favour, with Ipswich away on the final day relegation feels certain with anything but. Going into that Sunderland game knowing a win almost guarantees our safety would be massive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be going to Sunderland needing three points. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham have a much better chance of winning at home v a play off safe Norwich than Huddersfield do of winning at Ipswich who will probably need to win.

Does it actually matter if Plymouth lose or draw? Either way the maths stays the same in terms of final day results because of our GD. Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as they don't win it's equally "good" for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course goal difference could come in to it. Huddersfield are +2 goals better off than us. If we lose and they win on Saturday, they will go above us with at least a +4 better goal difference. I wouldn't put it past them to get a draw at Ipswich, which would mean we would have to beat Sunderland because of our worse GD. In hindsight if we had drawn at Huddersfield, we would now be 6 points above them, with a +6 better goal difference.

You said we were better for Huddersfield to win because they have a worse goal difference than Birmingham . Show me a way we can finish on the same points as Huddersfield- with a BETTER goal difference - then consider how likely that set of results would be….

At least this way, one or both are dropping points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
