We draw - go to 88 points Brentford lose stay on 70 pts. Brentford would have six games left could match us on 88 points and it then goes to GD. Bearing in mind we would have to lose last 5 and Brentford win last 6 the GD (currently 10 in our favour) could swing in their favour . Swansea lose they stay on 69 pts and couldn’t catch us .

We just need to win. If Brentford were to win, they would need 18 points from their last 6 games to pip us by one point. Swansea would be left needing 18 points and a superior goal difference form their last 6 games. I've said for the last couple of games now that two wins would do it. I think it would. Not mathematically as such, but to not get 2pts out of the last 5 games would be incredibly improbable. Brentford getting 18 from 6 is highly improbable. A win would just settle the nerves, from then on it would be title winning stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reading that, Chicken, and I understand everyone’s head getting fried by the many permutations, it looks pretty clear that just the one win would 99.99999999% confirm promotion. Not only is it unthinkable that we would lose the last 5 games, but when you factor in that Brentford or Swansea would also have to win every single game that just WON’T happen. I don’t know what odds you’d get at the bookies for that combination of events, but I’m pretty confident you could put a £1 down and retire a very wealthy man or woman if the unthinkable happened. Personally it’s all about the title for me but that’s not to say there won’t be any satisfaction from securing phase 2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted April 9, 2021 Yep I think it’s really about when promotion gets confirmed now, not if. I think it will probably be a week on Saturday but I can’t wait to watch the game on iFollow on Saturday with one eye on the other results! in some ways I don’t want this season to come to an end!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Bob! Out of likes but totally hear you mate, it’s the kind of season that you want to roll on for decades but I suppose the only positive is that it will lead us on to our next exciting challenge! Finishing in 14th place every season in the Premier League! (Only joking - no thanks, cr@p rollercoaster that). I truly believe Webber has been right to treat our path to the Premier League in a patient slow burning fashion. Going all out I suspect we’d be in Sheff Utd’s shoes right now and not looking in the best of places for the Championship (imo). But there’s a bit more cement in the foundation of this football club now, and I believe come August we will be ready for the next challenge! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted April 9, 2021 With Swansea having a midweek game and our game vs Bournemouth being a Saturday late kick off, we could be promoted before we've kicked off vs Bournemouth next Saturday. But it doesnt matter as we will be promoted tomorrow anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted April 9, 2021 basically we need 4 more points and then Brentford and Swansea can do what the hell they like. Win their remaining games 10 nil for all I care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted April 9, 2021 Bournemouth game at Carrow Rd their third in 7 days. Can only benefit City. As they need to win all games to get Play Off spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
