The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[cheltenhamlion]

Last time I can see Chelts replying to you was over a month ago.

Worst stalker ever.

I guess it's the self appointed moderating that sticks in my mind.

I'm not sure how your criticising posters for saying "Gerald Appleyard" is any less a csse of "self-appointed moderating" than CheltenhamLion's criticising one poster for being overly-defensive about Gerald Appleyard.

And Gerald doesn't care. He is up PWS's tree by all accounts.

At least we've got an exciting end of season for the right reasons. Some big home games to look forward to aswell.
Is the Upper Trinity open yet for the Wolves game? Haven't seen anything but thought it would be open by now.

He's up my bloody tree, that's alright with me.*

I guess it's the self appointed moderating and aggressive style that sticks in my mind.

Aggressive? Have you read anything you have ever posted? Self appointed moderation? I don't think that is true either, just like your daft stalker comment. What I don't understand is why you immediately jump on the defensive and take just about every opinion to the contrary to yours as some kind of personal attack. It is nuts, quite frankly.

You can hate me. Or my opinions. Or my posting style. Or what I write in the fanzine. Or my dress sense. Or the fact I have a big nose. It doesn't make one scintilla of a difference to my life.

But put the "woe is me, I am being picked on" horseshit back in the laptop.

Look, I couldn't give a fuck who you are or if your write for the magazine.  My comment was hardly 'woe is me' was it?  I just noted it's the second time you've jumped on one of my posts, both unjustified.  I didn't bite last time when I felt you were pretty fucking unfair.  You're obviously pretty familiar with my posts, hence my earlier comment.  I'm was just mentioning that I've noticed it, that's all.  Maybe if you ignore my posts and I'll certainly try to do the same with yours.

Just had a quick look at the table and a browse through our results.  The following home games really stand out as poor performances and results:

Middlesbrough 0-0
Brentford 0-0
Sheff Weds 1-2
Sheff Utd 2-2 (when were 2-0 up and Jedinak had a nightmare)
Millwall 0-0
Preston 1-1 (bit lucky to get a draw on the night but could have won it at the end)

We can't afford many more of those type of results now and they could still end up costing us.     

If we don't go up in second our poor start to the season will have cost us.

We started this season with one win in our first seven league games. Cardiff won their first five league games so we pretty much gave them a ten point head start so that's why it's been such a struggle to get infront of them.

When you look at the seasons they're having losing at Reading and drawing with Hull on the opening day look really poor results now and I felt that at the time.

I defend SB a lot but he shouldn't have persided over such a poor start considering he had most of last season and the summer to prepare us to hit the ground running. Stuff like Samba coming on as an emergency centre forward in the early games shouldn't have been happening.

Let's not. What did I say last time (and about what) that you thought was unfair? As far as I am concerned I "jumped" on nothing.

"Woe is me" is exactly how I would describe your comment. Accusing me of stalking you around threads (presumably because you think I am deliberately attempting to goad you) is myopic in the extreme. Cdbullyweefan and I are as far apart politically as Reagan and Stalin and I post far more frequently on what he comes up with. Fuck me, I have had some bitter battles with Percy on the Brexit thread at times.

I don't take it personally though. We just have different points of view and believe our own position on the matter is correct.

If you don't want me to lob the "Woe is me" card at you then reread your first sentence. How on earth is that supposed to come across? And you have the temerity to call me aggressive?

I think you need to take a long hard look at yourself before throwing around those kind of accusations.

So anyway, Bruce then, what a twat! He needs to go!

[chrisw1]

Where do you get this sort of shit from:

"What I don't understand is why you immediately jump on the defensive and take just about every opinion to the contrary to yours as some kind of personal attack."

That doesn't reflect my posting style at all.  I can't ever recall calling someone out for a personal attack.  I just happened to remember last time you commented on one of my posts it was exactly that (but this is the first time I mentioned it).  And yet here you are again. 

So as I suggested, let's just ignore each others posts hey?

I was hoping to read some carefully considered maths equations to give me an idea of our chances of getting promoted. All I found was a couple of sad children squabbling. grow up the pair of you and focus on the issue !

Returning to the maths. In an average year you need 86 points to get auto promotion from the Championship. With most of the challengers due to play each other, unless someone goes on an unprecedented run, we will average things out by taking points of each other. I would prefer to aim for 90, but suspect 86 would be enough this year.
As we have 63, 7 wins and a couple of draws and a couple of losses should get us second place.
As an optimist though, if we get Grealish and Albert back, I think we could do a lot better with the clear positivity around the team. Hopefully Wolves decline will continue and JT can at last pick up the real league trophy!

I wanted to get back to PWS's apple tree.  I hope whoever is up there is paying Council Tax.

Sorry sir. It wasn't me it was him.

With Appleyards rep I'm sure we should all be slightly concerned about him being somewhere full of birds.

The key will be beating Cardiff and Reading.

With QPR, Sunderland, Bolton, Hull, Reading and mid-table cigars on the beach sides like Norwich, Ipswich, Leeds and Millwall to play it may well be that we pick up 7 wins out of that lot and simply have to avoid defeat against Cardiff and Derby. Time will tell, but I think 8 more wins and a few draws would guarantee it, but that's probably overkill.

Let's beat QPR and see where the dust lies.

Sheffield United winning tonight is a good result for us. They have to play Fulham, Wolves and Cardiff. The longer they remain in contention for 6th place, the better it is for us.
