Can someone tell me all the permutations for next weekend I'm too excited to work it all out

Win and we are up
Win and port vale don’t (kick off same time)we are champions that all we need

Other than that Walsall need to win both and us not to win either for us not go up,or 4 points and we lose both

Can't see Walsall winning another game.  They look completely shot.

If port vale draw and we win then port vale would still be 3 points behind so we would still have to go to the final game needed to match the vale result

If Walsall lose we’re up..

Post by: acacia94 on April 21, 2025, 07:20:54 pm
For simplicity – Walsall lose next Saturday and we're up regardless of any other scoreline. The tricky bit is winning the whole damn show and the permutations for that are still with NASA.

Superb of sky to potentially have us not know the outcome until after Walsall play

Win and Walsall can’t catch us.

But, if we lose both our remaining games we could still finish the season with nothing.

If Walsall lose and Bradford beat us.... we are both promoted is that right??
Title: Re: Right...
Post by: Superspy on April 21, 2025, 08:11:42 pm
Yes, whatever happens if Walsall lose they can't catch us.
Title: Re: Right...
Post by: acacia94 on April 21, 2025, 08:19:20 pm
I know we should be staring at the stars and not looking down to the gutter but....the killer one result is....if walsall lose we are up.

Weirdly, we could draw on Saturday and get promoted.

And we could draw both our last two matches and finish 4th.

I’m pretty sure that Walsall will beat Accrington. So we need another win to get it done next week.

And for what it’s worth, I think we will do it Saturday
Title: Re: Right...
Post by: Padge_DRFC on April 21, 2025, 08:28:57 pm
I think it's going to to go the last game still. Walsall as bad a run as they are on are playing one of the most useless sides I've seen and at home.
Title: Re: Right...
Post by: Ryaldinhio on April 21, 2025, 08:29:32 pm
These last two performances have got me some confidence back. I think we are better with Bailey at the back, maybe GM needs to consider converting his role?

We beat Bradford 2.0

Street with the first early on then Billy sharp to come on and score the second in the 87th minute infront of Black Bank to make up for his cock up other week.

We can lose both our games and get promoted, Walsall only have to lose one, or draw both, and they can’t catch us.

If Bradford beat us, Vale draw and Walsall win it will be an interesting last day.

Interesting isn’t the word that comes to my mind!

Really hoping we can get over the line on Saturday. Our task is simple now, albeit still tough. We’ve put ourselves in a great position now let’s focus on winning our last home game.i can’t cope with the stress of the alternative, I’m too old for all this now!

I did a little joke acca yesterday with all the possible results I wanted

Chesterfield win or draw
Newport win or draw
Grimsby win or draw
Rovers win or draw.

Came in at 7/1

Because Accrington are absolute dog shite. If you are that confident stick £20 on Accrington and win a few bob.

I watched the first half of the Newport / Walsall game Saturday and Newport looked like the worst team I've seen in years but still managed to draw.

Incorrect BST

Ok here goes.

2 wins and we are Champions.

1 win and a draw and we will be champions unless Port Vale win their last 2

1 win 1 defeat promoted, could be champions, but other results to go our way.

2 draws and we are promoted.

Walsall need to win both there games to even catch us. They are away at crewe last game. The way they have been playing i wouldnt fancy them to do that.

I won almost the same bet, albeit having the Carlisle match instead of the Newport game. A nice little winner!

No they don’t, they are currently only 4 points behind.

I remember spending a lot of time on Excel several seasons in succession when we were in the Championship working on permutations of this kind. Thank you people for doing all the work this time. I just hope they’ll reach League 1 this time and give us a tilt at the Championship before I depart this world!

RTID is in point!

Accrington still need a point to be sure safety, they will be fighting for their EFL lives, don’t expect them to roll over for Wallsall, I their game will end in a draw.

Not really - the last 5 games were an anti climax for sure, but we’d smashed all the rest at 2ppg and 2 goals per game as far as I can remember.

Felt shit, came 3rd in a 1 horse race.

Agree it was a pretty shit end to the year, probably helped by the fact we expected to walk League Two.
Note: Fergie stayed one year after, we finished 15th in League One.

We were great that season. Best team in the league by a mile. We would finish first in a 1 horse race this season and we weren’t even the 1 horse!

This. If we win the league, spare a thought for the Walsall fans and also for the bookies that paid out in January on Walsall as Champions.

Nah, stuff 'em.

Perhaps we don’t like one horse races. Currently as it stands with just 2 games left, 4 teams can win the title and 6 still have a chance of automatic. The top of lg2 and bottom of championship is where all the excitement is… and we’re right in the thick of it…bring it on

For me, it would be nice to win the title but all I want is promotion, I can’t sit and watch another season of teams plonking 10 men behind the ball every week!
