if-and its obviously a biggish if-the top 8 teams maintain their current home and away form until the season end the table looks like this so nail biting to the end
How cruel it would be if we get into the top two, need only to win our last game to clinch automatic promotion, only for the EFL to announce we have a 6 point deduction, to be applied with immediate effect. Surely that couldn't happen, could it ........?
Can't realistically see they could do that, they'd have to allow time for an appeal this season, or apply any deduction next season. Enough precedents to warrant no deduction. But it's the efl so you never know.
I'm really confused with that table Bolton has only 13 games to play not 14 and they are already on 66 points and as they lost the last fixture can't have been compiled before the result of the last game came out
I bet the Swindon fans thought “no, they’ll not take away our promotion to the Premier League, surely”….but they did. Long time ago but they will still resent that injustice
Yes me to they have now played the same number of games as us both home and away so have only 6 home games left
we've managed 30 points from our 17 home games so far, so the remaining 6 games will yield ~10 points not 13. Unless I've misunderstood "current form"
Form has improved since the start of the season. We've got 13 points from the last 6 home game (W4, D1, L1) - compared to 17 from the first 11. I think that the table reflects the improvement.
Looking at the current table, we're behind 3 teams Derby, Portsmouth & Bolton on points per game. So "current projection" we're finishing in 4th place
Need to define current form, because it's an extrapolation of current points per game. We're finishing 4th on that basis
I suppose "current" means "recent". The question which then begs itself is, "What qualifies as "recent"? We've won our last two games. If we do as well in the remaining 13 games, we finish on 102 points. It obviously all depends where you draw the line.
