The Magic Number

[Macky]

if we win the next 3, we wil definately go up automatically (assuming millwall win the next 3 too)...as we will have 92, they will have 85....with 2 games to play, doesnt matter if we **** them up, we'll still go up 1st or 2nd......if we bring peterborough into this equation....well, im ****ing confused now!...but i'm gonna say we need 3 wins to stand a very good chance, however, i AM getting slightly nervous now!!!

Have you ever considered a career as a statistician? Or a maybe as a pundit on the telly? I think you'd be perfect.

There's been nothing at all from him since the morning of the 1st. I'm presuming he annoyed somebody with an April Fool gag and they've killed him.

There are two magic numbers.

1. To be Champions, the magic number remains 90
2. To be promoted, the magic number is 85

 

[SJN-Fox]

So if we get to 85 points, we'll be promoted yes??

In 4th place, behind P'Boro on 86, Millwall on 88 and MK Dons on 90.

Cool, sounds good to me.

85? i wish..millwall mk and pboro can beat that i think 90 is safer bet for automatic mathematical certainty

Assuming the league table at the right of the forum pages is correct....

Peterborough could potentially get 94 points
Millwall could potentially get 88 points.
MK Dons could potentially get 90 points
DirtyLeeds could potentially get 87 points.

Where does your magic 85 come from

Shambles!

... and the results of yesterday confirm the probability your predictions. :icon_wink

91

Currently 9 points will do

this seems to be the number..to be sure of promotion
based on mk dons winning all their games and getting a better
goal differnece

But you also have to take into account that millwall have to play peterborough so those maximum points aren't possible. The best outcome of that game would perhaps be a draw leaving peterborough with a maximum of 92 and millwall with a maximum of 86.

Those maximum points are correct. He didn't say that they can all get their maximum points !

 

[SJN-Fox]

I thought this thread was the ACTUAL number of points we need, not some theoretical number based on probability and prediction.

I am trying to point out the misconception that some people may have. Taken as a whole they aren't correct and none of those teams will get their maximum points - I would put money on it.

Anyhow, I can't believe I have been drawn into this shambolic exercise. We shouldn't even be considering the other teams. There fecking shite and we should be strolling our way out of this division.

Would be nice to think so, but sadly hasn't quite turned out that way.

A misconception on your part. :icon_wink
