It`s ours to lose!

[Filo]

Easter weekend is massive, we could put Swindon out of the picture on Easter Monday!

[ScillyRover]

Yeah... Easter Eggciting !

[mrfrostsdad]

The main thing is we don't lose to Swindon and Brentford.
If we were to win at Coventry on Friday, a draw against Swindon wouldn't be a desperately bad result because they wouldn't pull any points back on us. Win both games and we'd nearly be home and dry!
12 points now for promotion???

[donnievic]

Think I may of worked it out at 17 points for deffo promotion,could be wrong

[mrfrostsdad]

You're not far wrong donnievic i don't think.
But that's probably being a bit ambitious! I still reckon 84 (12 more points) will do it

[donnievic]

Yeah I was taking all other side having to win all there remaining games and seeing sheff utd have to play both Swindon and brentford hope they can take points off each other.still weary off Bournemouth though

[DRFCBRADFORD]

i also think 82pts 4 promotion and 85pts  win league

[DRFCBRADFORD]

[donnievic]

can any one update me on syers he hasnt played since the hartlepool game 11th march

was told by him on the Tuesday when we should of played Carlisle he said hopefully 2 weeks so would of though maybe next week

[DonnyBazR0ver]

10 or 11 points from 7 games is very achievable OR being able to afford to lose 10 points makes it sound more comfortable.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Max points each side can get.

Us 93
Blades 92
Brentford 91
Swindon 88
Bournemouth 85

But. Blades play both Brentford and Swindon so they can't all get those points totals.

If those two matches were both draws, maximum totals are
Blades 88
Brentford 89
Swindon 86


If Blades win both, maximum totals are
Blades 92
Brentford 88
Swindon 85

If Blades beat Swindon and lose to Brentford maximum totals are
Blades 89
Brentford 91
Swindon 85

If Blades beat Brentford and lose to Swindon, maximum totals are
Blades 89
Brentford 88
Swindon 88

So, 90 points for us would mathematically guarantee 2nd place.

4 wins and a draw taking us to 85 points should get us promoted with 7 to play as i cannot see teams below us winning all there remaining games as they all play each other but a lot of twists and turns still to come.

[Standanista]

Thought we looked a good unit today.  Really enjoyed the game, usual butterflies near the end but I really think that with that outfield set-up on the run-in we can win this league.
