February quite a critical month.Forest Green play Colchester, Mansfield, Barrow, Crawley and Tranmere. Sutton play us, Morecambe, Wrexham, Bradford, Colchester and Notts County. We have Sutton, Tranmere, Salford, Grimsby and Wimbledon.I don’t see us winning too many but you would be hard pressed to imagine either Sutton or Forest winning more points in February than we do. If that is right, then the currently big gap will remain. That’s a big deal going into March.
Will we be getting the weekly update on this?

If that is right, then the currently big gap will remain. That’s a big deal going into March. Giving this a bump. We maintained a 9 point lead on equal games with Forest Green, and a 7 point lead with us having game in hand on Sutton.Now look at those February fixtures above. You would imagine that going into March the lead we had over both would not be any smaller than it is now.
Wow, 34 points to achieve safety is incredibly low isn’t it.In our mini league of five you would expect that ourselves, Grimsby and Colchester should manage a further five points from 17 games.Using the calculations in the predictor posted by BST we “only” need eight more points from those games.
After the last few games, could we now have a model version of predicted points for 12th-20th please.
The other models relegation hasn’t been updated but the promotion part has, it’s forecasting 69 points for the playoffs
Here's the update after yesterday, with the extension to 11th, cos I already had the data as it happens.11th 6712th 6513th 6414th 6315th 63 59 6316th 58 57 6217th 56 57 6118th 54 53 6019th 48 50 5320th 46 45 5121st 42 43 4422nd 42 43 3823rd 37 34 3024th 26 28 29Some big changes, since a lot of sides just outside the bottom 4 have hit a bit of form. I suspect the figures for 15th to 20th will turn out to be a bit on the high side, and will drop back a bit over the next couple of weeks. Similarly, the figure for 23rd looks a bit at the lower end of what we'll eventually see.
Hand up from me. The model was crap this season for bottom of the table. Started off predicting 26 points. Now looking at 40 points.I think that's the furthest it's ever been out in a dozen years of using it.
