Evil Monkey 52 Posted March 25, 2010 Anyone know if this run-in table takes into account the fact that some of the top 8 or so have to play each other, which will effectively write-off some of the possible points gains (after all, they can''t both win)... I''m not really a maths kinda guy, but if someone wanted to analyse the effect that such fixtures will have on the possible points gains, that would be grand...

Each teams maximum points are worked out with them winning each remaining game. With your idea the only way to do it would be to look at the maximum combined points from 2 or more teams, that would then take into account any matches those 2 or more teams play against each other. Im sure it can be done with some careful studying of the fixtures though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where it does make a difference is if any other of the top six/seven/eight teams were to go on a run and remain unbeaten.All we have to worry about is any two from say six passing us, if these two are Leeds and Millwall then theoretically all the points shown are to play for, if not our hypothetical points required tally drops by between 3 and 6 points depending on which two teams are winning all their matches.Reading back this sounds confusing what I''m trying to say is that we just need to concentrate on any two teams passing us, the permutations would really only come into effect if three or more teams needed to pass us as both Leeds and Millwall can still mathematically attain the points tally shown in the table by virtue of them not playing each other again.

blahblahblah 2 Posted March 25, 2010 It''s not really anything to worry about unless we lose the next 3 matches, I reckon. And with the form of the top 6, maybe not then either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay_Boy 0 Posted March 31, 2010 This is my predictor for the final table - NORWICH 31 7 8 100MILLWALL26_______13________7_______91SWINDON2415787LEEDS 2315884CHARLTON2216882HUDD''SFIELD 22131179COL UTD22121278 Super City get to three figures beating Carlisle at home on the last day. Ironically we could go up as clear champions even though we end up losing more games than the teams in 2nd or 3rd, due to always going out to win and ending up with v few draws. Leeds drop down to 4th,and Col U miss out on the play offs after Huddersfield beat them at the Galpharm and then win away at Exeter on the final day. Huddersfield on such a high by grabbing the last play off spot that they steamroller Swindon and beat Leeds in the play off final. Now that would make the Leeds fan weep!

spencer 1970 207 Posted April 5, 2010 I''ve got us winning this silly league at a canter. I''ve even got us finishing top after drawing against Carlisle losing at the Valley (havent seen us win there since Drinkell (I think) scored), Bristol rovers, and the Orient...but honestly I cant see us losing all of them...its not going to happen is it?Win the 2 of the next 3 and its job done....see you down the O''s next week folks.

Europe_93 11 Posted April 7, 2010 With Swindon to play Millwall yet, 93 points will do us. I''m sticking with 97 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
