The Grim Reality
30 games played - 22 Pts - 50 pts needed for safety or thereabouts
28 pts needed from 16 games =
9 w, 1 d, 6 l or
8 w, 4 d, 4 l or
7 w, 7 d, 2 l or
6 w, 10 d, no l!
If we lose to Leeds then the following applies
31 games played, 22 pts
15 games to play, 28 pts needed =
9 w, 1 d, 5 l or
8 w, 4 d, 4 l or
7 w, 7 d, 1 l or
Lose to Forest
32 games played, 22 pts
14 games to play 28 pts needed=
9 w, 1 d, 4 l or
8 w, 4 d, 2 l
7 w, 7 d, no l!
This does not make for good reading! If the number of pts needed for safety is less then the situation improves slightly or we actually win these two games. The teams just above the relegation zone have 30 pts with games in hand and so 20 pts from 17 games for these teams may not be too difficult!
Lets be realistic there is no chance when we have lost 18 games out of the last 30! Time to plan for League 1.
