Probably just about impossible to call too, this season, so many dropping points every week.

I've never noticed BST getting any more criticism than anyone else on the football forum; in fact, he probably gets more likes than negative responses.

Some people making unnecessary mischief here.

In the meantime, pib posted some points projections on this thread.

Also based on PPG here's another projection from Soccerstats.

Absolutely correct SS.
I often click the like button on some of BSTs posts on the football threads.

It's coming lads and lasses.

I set up the spreadsheet last week but I've knackered my back and been in bed all week so haven't put the data in yet. Feeling a bit better tonight, so might do it.

Crikey, that soccer stats model has us finishing 5th and only just at that.

I think that’s probably a pretty accurate prediction of where we might end up.

Only 3 of the next 7 at home and some difficult away games at Salford, Crewe and bromley.

We’ve given ourselves a tough task.

It's looking that way. I think we needed a really good if not a flawless February.

Early season I predicted Walsall, Wimbledon as us for Automatic. Wimbledon aren't conceding many and might even be the ones who could catch Walsall.

Sadly, I think Notts Co are looking more likely to get the other auto spot. I can't bring myself to consider Bradford or Port Vale.

We seem to be having too many backs to the wall performances to have any confidence we could put a run together, although that looked very unlikely last season. I think we're too short of firepower when last season we had Ironside, Molyneux, Adelakun and Biamou etc contributing during the run.

On top of that, can anyone ever remember a more crucial set of fixtures in the last few weeks of the season as we have this year?

April 12- Wimbledon (home)
April 26- Bradford (home)
May 3rd - Notts County (away)

Jesus.

Met my wife on a grad scheme for an accountancy firm. First line of the best man’s speech was “from spreadsheets to bedsheets”. Still the best opening to a speech I’ve ever heard!

on the footballwebpages.co.uk - I came across "the" or "a" prediction thing which has my beloved Carlisle on 26 points for the season - i am sure they meant 62 !  so here it is

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-two/league-table/predicted

and here is a screen print of it

As for the "pantomine"   style dangers to Rovers getting third -- in my world  "they are behind you"

namely PV & Bradford
"
Notts County need to keep their injured players so !  they have to be very carefull  "managing"  McGoldrick

So according to this, they predict us to win 5 and draw 2 of our last 7 home games (which include Walsall, Wimbledon and Bradford), but not to win another away game for the rest of the season, despite having the most away points and joint most away wins in the division. That would be surprising.

They reckon 6th on here.

If it turns out like that we will (I think) be playing three games in a row against Notts County.

And I think GM will fail for the 3rd time in the play offs.

Top 3 is an absolute must.
