The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[Matt Collins]

Been saying for a while that Fulham are the main threat

Several people thought their fixtures looked tough. The problem is, nobody is that good in this league. A better hope may be that they’ve peaked too early.

Our main threat is Cardiff. Those below us are irrelevant.

The team in 3rd place must be excellent to have more points from less games than this sensational Fulham side.

Our main threat is Cardiff. Those below us are irrelevant.

I agree with this but come next Tuesday, Fulham could also be above us. They are on an incredible run.

They could, but it's unlikely.

One thing is for sure, if we don't go up automatic I don't fancy playing Fulham in the play offs.

Everyone was saying they've got tough games but they've just beat us, Wolves and Derby in their last three games. Can't see them having a bad run.

And before that drew with Bolton.

If we played them in the play offs it would depend on how many we stuck past them at Villa Park, given how mince we are down there for getting a result.

No not IMO. They have put in a super run  that must end soon and they are still 1 point behind us and we have a game in hand.

We won't meet them in the knock out stages. we'll finish 3rd & 4th in that scenario meaning we'd be kept apart.

And they also drew at Bristol inbetween beating us & Wolves.

They have Sheff U at home and Preston away next. neither can be taken lightly. Hopefully some points to be dropped there.

  Based on should win matches
Cardiff  6 wins and 6 draws =91  +29 Gd

Fulham 7 wins  and 4 draws =87  +28 Gd

Derby   4 wins and 6 draws  =81

means we need 8 wins and 4 draws to equal 91 points and +29 GD

so we need to beat Wolves, Cardiff and Derby to mess it up

Well look after our own results and they can do what they want, it won't matter.

I think at least one of those four teams will lose a game between now and the end of the season.

Derby most likely to be that team

Hopefully. I think we all will though.

They'll all lose matches, as they all have done.
