Our guaranteed position

Guaranteed Top 10 finish now; with 9th place our worst possible position due to teams playing each other. If Doncaster win, we''re guaranteed at least 8th.2 points guarantee us a place in the play-offs.15/4/2011  - Minimum of 9th

It''s a weird situation at the moment, all those mathematically safe from the drop (Bristol City upwards) can make the play-offs, those in the danger zone can''t.

[quote user="itstheruddyfuture"]So, if Cardiff win all their remaining games, they won''t get second spot?? How come??[/quote]ExactlyThis thread is set up for guarantees. I know we won''t come 9th, but it''s nice to see that number ( a number we''d have taken at the start of the season) raise week on week), so for the purposes of this thread, we can''t be guaranteed of coming second. Win every game and we''re third.Hopefully though on Thursday we''ll have the points to say guaranteed 6th!

Tonights win guarantees Norwich win at the very worst compete in the Play-offs, with 6th place now the worst possible finish and that only happens if Leeds win all of their games.1 point will guarantee 5th place.6 points will guarantee 4th place.8 points will guarantee 3rd place.We can achieve 2nd place; as long as we achieve one better result than Cardiff in the run in.We can achieve 1st place; as long as QPR (with far superior goal difference) do not pick up 3 points in the run in.The irony there is that by cheering on QPR on Saturday in order for us to stay 2nd, we eliminate our own title hopes.21/4/2011 - Minimum of 6th15/4/2011 - Minimum of 9th

Aren''t you forgetting Reading, we could for example win one game out of our last 3 Cardiff lose all their games, but if Reading win all of their last 4 games they end in 2nd place.

Leeds inability to win tonight means that 5th place is now guaranteed, and just as importantly it means they cannot catch us and we have been superior to them 2 years in a row.6 points will guarantee 4th place.6 points will guarantee 3rd place.We

can achieve 2nd place; as long as we achieve one better result than

Cardiff in the run in, achieving at least 6 points in the process.We can achieve 1st place; as long as QPR (with far superior goal difference) do not pick up 3 points in the run in.22/4/2011 - Minimum of 5th21/4/2011 - Minimum of 6th15/4/2011 - Minimum of 9th

With Cardiff and Swansea only drawing, there are a few subtle changes, and one major one; we can now guarantee second place!4 points will guarantee 4th place.6 points will guarantee 3rd place.9 points will guarantee 2nd place.We can achieve 1st place; as long as QPR (with far superior goal difference) do not pick up 2 points in the run in.22/4/2011 - Minimum of 5th21/4/2011 - Minimum of 6th15/4/2011 - Minimum of 9th

With Jackson seemingly destined to be a Norwich hero with that late goal, these numbers have suddenly gotten very small.1 points will guarantee 3rd place,6 points will guarantee 2nd place.We can achieve 1st place; as long as we win our remaining games and QPR lose both, get a points penalty, or draw one game and we go to town on Portsmouth & Coventry.And if results go our way we could be promoted on Friday. Come on Middlesborough!!!25/4/2011 - Minimum of 4th22/4/2011 - Minimum of 5th21/4/2011 - Minimum of 6th15/4/2011 - Minimum of 9th

Very little changed today except the fact that Leeds will no longer make the play-offs and Cardiff''s last game of the season just had a massive change of circumstance as Burnley can no longer overhaul Forest.1 point will guarantee 3rd place,6 points will guarantee 2nd place.We can no longer get first place without the aid of the FA.25/4/2011 - Minimum of 4th22/4/2011 - Minimum of 5th21/4/2011 - Minimum of 6th15/4/2011 - Minimum of 9th

Slight correction, Leeds can still make the playoffs although would need a 7 goal swing between them and Forest
