Joe Kirkup Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 I thought I'd take a quick look at the fixtures left and try and second guess what will happen. Have come up with the following: If we assume Brighton, Hudds, PBoro and Saints all win their remaining home fixtures that would put Saints in second one point ahead of Hudds. Remaining away games for Hudds - 3 PBoro - 3 Saints 4 (these don't include games against the others because I've already assumed the home side wins those). This means Saints could afford to drop 4 points away in the 4 games they have ( because of superior goal difference ) meaning they could draw 2 and win 2. Suddenly it all seems so much better.

I was thinking about this too. The most Huddersfield can get is 24 points and they are 2 points ahead, so to guarantee promotion 26 points is the target, so 8 wins and 2 draws guarantees promotion assuming hudds and/or posh win all of their remaining games. A draw between hudds and posh wil mean that we would only need 24 points which would be 8 wins and two defeats or 7 wins and 3 draws (assuming hudds and posh win all of their remaining games)

NickG Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 suddenly comes clearer by the game at this stage - the others are running out of games
saints-cris Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 suddenly comes clearer by the game at this stage - the others are running out of games Exactly. They're going to slip up again, so will we.. but they've got less games to slip up in now and not many points ahead of us to play with.
SNSUN Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 It'd be interesting to see the others finish their season without us playing another game, then play our last ten knowing what we need. Hmm, I'm bored too.
rpb Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 From the corresponding fixtures last year (substituting relegated/promoted clubs with the teams that replaced them) we won 4, drew 3 and lost 3 of the remaining ten fixtures. I hope that we have improved (or others have got worse)...
eelpie Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 suddenly comes clearer by the game at this stage - the others are running out of games But we are running out of time and can't afford any more postponements otherwise we'll be playing three in one week. Do we have the stamina?
SNSUN Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 But we are running out of time and can't afford any more postponements otherwise we'll be playing three in one week. Do we have the stamina? We have the squad imo. Forte, Stephens, N'Guessan, Connolly, Guly, Richardson, Dickson, Martin and Seaborne may all have massive parts to play in these last ten games...
corky morris Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 I keep doing the predictor thing on the BBC after every game & keep getting us finishing 3rd!!!! If Huddersfield beat Posh at home - that could make all the difference.......
SW11_Saint Posted 26 March, 2011 Posted 26 March, 2011 Goes without saying April holds all the answers. It worries me how many games we have. Much will depend on mental strength now, let's hope NA has them in the right frame of mind. I am sure he will.
Tony F Posted 27 March, 2011 Posted 27 March, 2011 How has Peterbo "surprisingly" dropping 2 points at Brizzel Rovers changed the outlook?
