I think there’s a good chance all the top 4 get to 95 or more points. Plymouth’s only slipped up against us & Peterborough. Wednesday winning most games until last night & Ipswich are in incredible form. Whichever 2 miss out will feel hard done to
I put us down to draw with Ipswich.... Plymouth 100 Weds. 100 Barnsley. 98 Ipswich. 93 So a win against Ipswich and a few big wins elsewhere, it's doable. Just realised, the only other points I had us down to drop are a draw against Pboro on the last day, also had Weds drawing with Derby on last day, so it could get very nervy that day. Can u imagine doing that to them, unthinkable
And the one (of more) of those that misses out through the play-offs will feel really, really hard done to...
I agree about Plymouth's run in, except that it can be as hard to play against teams fighting against relegation as teams in the top half. Maybe the most straight forward games are against mid-table sides who have little to play for now. Exeter fits that bill.
Improving our goal difference? During this 12 game unbeaten run where we have acquired a +22 goal difference. Prior to that after 34 games it was just +7. It's now +29. Thats some improvement.
There’s a tricky couple of games in there but the last 3 being at home may just see them over the line.
After 36 games in the 2018/19 League One season we had 73 points. We've got 72 points at the same stage this time around. We only won five of the remaining 10 under Stendel (three draws and two defeats).
Plymouth are Exeter's local derby though, so I can't see them rolling over. Plymouth also play Bristol Rovers and I'd expect Barton to treat it like a local derby as well to try and put a bit of a shine on their season
Popped a little graphic up, for your amusement. Personally I don't agree with Sky's prediction at all. IMO I think of the 4 teams, Plymouth have by far the 'easiest' run in, with fewer games and points already on the board. I could see them picking up another 20 points from the last 8. Of the rest, maybe Wednesday slightly the trickiest, with those last 2 games against Derby and Shrews, but they've still got 6 points on us. I still think Wednesday & Plymouth get top 2.
Exeter and Shrewsbury are going to have a big say in the positions. Glad that we've got Shrewsbury at home.
There's gonna be loads of twists and turns before now and the end of the season . I predict its gonna be unpredictable. 2+2 = purple.
