Promotion is in the bag, now for the title 😀😀😀

It would be a travesty to not go up now. I think we will win the league.
Lets keep our foot on the gas! Nearly there!!

[ballysbackin]

Keep banging in the goals and keep racking up the points - Plymouth still not won on a Tuesday

[mushRTID]

Those 2 wins have sealed it. Piss easy.

[balbyrover]

My mathematic skills arent the best but 16 clear with 27 left to play for??
Does 3 more wins mean we are promoted?

[colincramb]

We won't be 16 clear if Luton win their game in hand, only 14 potentially then

I would say almost certainly with then 84 points, but mathematically not quite

Worst case is we still need 14 points (Luton can get 88)

Only if the teams 4th and below lose 3 games in the same time..

If..

Points in the bag, any day

"Only" 14 points clear is terrible

Yes but it is at Newport who won away tonight.

[Padge_DRFC]

Strong possibility and short odds now of it happening at Grimsby

[MrFrost]

I reckon it'll be at Mansfield at home

[Campsall rover]

I will say it again as I have been saying for 3 months that we will WIN the league by 10 points over 2nd place.
Portsmouth will finish 2nd and Plymouth 3rd.
Does any body else agree with me yet or do you all still think I am counting my chickens?

[Alan Southstand]

Still not gargling, Campsall.

Still not gargling, Campsall.

You're joking, she's onto the encore now 😀

One more win is almost there,  that would put us 19 plus GD above 4th with Carlisle having 27 to play for. Anyone really think they can get 21 pts out of 27.   We won't be promoted if we win on sati,  but that pts tally of 78 will not be bettered by 4th place...

Plymouth proved last week that a game in hand doesn't guarantee three points.

If they do win it thought it will be terrible to be only 14 points clear of them.

[Drover]

My guess is Mansfield game will be the promotion game,after a tough game at Codheads and Wycombe game for title after Blackpool spoiling the party in the game previous.I hope I win the wycombe match and train ticket competition!

I wouldn't put it past Portsmouth to get 21 points out of 27 -- if they had been playing for the manager they would be par and par with Rovers -  fortunately "allegedly" someone gave different hymn sheets to the players  ("Agent MAIN ??" ) to sing from ----  by the way whatever happened to young Curtis ?

[les@donr]

I think Newport might do us a favour and beat Luton on their beach of a pitch.

[The Red Baron]

I said after Saturday 4 more wins for promotion so it's now 3.

Nervy one tonight. Too many players off the boil but we came through. Big shout to Butler and Baudry who were immense.

Your missing the point. I never said 14 would be terrible. The original post asked about the maths of it.

[IDM]

He's being sarcastic..

[Bezza]

love your positivity Campsall, with you all the way.

I never said you did say 14 would be terrible.
I was, in a sarcastic way, emphasising that for anyone to worry about 14 points being a threat is being totally neurotic.

We are also effectively 7 pts clear of Plymouth due to our superior goal difference. 👍⚽

But if the gap closes, so would the goal difference, in theory.

[Mac the hooped man]

by 9 goals?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

All it takes is us to lose by 2 in 2 games, them to win by a 2 and a 3 and they have it back.

[Mike_F]

...and one of their games is against us where all goals count double in the GD stakes.
