I did it realistically based on current form and unfortunately ( or fortunately for the Fish and Chips available ) we will be playing Grimsby next term unless, of course, they get promoted !!
My prediction just based on WFC’s fixtures was a finish in 23rd with 43 points and -23 goal difference
Lot of 3’s in there as suggested my Michal’s Threetheorum… think i might do the lottery tonight its 153 million rollover, perhaps we all ought to buy 2 tickets instead of paying £ 5 to JWB on Saturday. Even if I shared with 10 others whoever won could pay for the cancer to be removed and still have enough to have a nice life.
44 or 43 points and I think that is being overly optimistic, can’t really see where many more points can come from as we are the laughing stock of the League at present, anyone can beat us, particularly at Bescot! I’ll be there on Saturday, but fear Bradford will net another 4.
So, we finish 23rd, and will go down with Wimbledon (already too far gone) Rochdale (with a similar goal difference problem), and Gillingham (even WE beat them!).
With all this doom and gloom, I’ve finally closed out my spread-bet season points buy - opened at 55, closed today at 51 (ironically helped by a promotional offer).
Think I’ve escaped lightly there.
Where people see us getting points from I don’t know. Last two games could easily have been 4-0 to Wimbledon and 6-0 to Coventry.
This run isn’t about bad luck or just falling short in tight games. We’re useless. Bad players being badly coached and badly organised. It’s bad.
Looking at the table I can see why the old fishy calculator might be getting dusted off but watching us play the last few months makes it quite a futile exercise unfortunately.
Sporting Index it is - closed at 49.5 but they had kindly stuck a £50 promotional credit in my account which was triggered by my closing out transaction - very unexpected, but it means that I escaped at a shade over 51 points all-in.
I had considered going short at 49.5, but I am now pursuing another strategy over at Betfair…
I haven’t done this…I simply cannot see where the next point is coming from. Nothing from 3 of the worst teams in the League (Scunthorpe,Rochdale, Wimbledon) and a thrashing by Coventry.If we get to 40 points I will be amazed. Its over folks and don’t forget I am usually one of the optimists on here!! (Although not as optimistic as Optimistic!!!) It appears the Board have decide to stick with DK…our local derby next year will be against Solihull Moors…ironic that some on here have deserted us to support them!!!
Can only see this team getting to 44 or 45 points with the fixtures left, 2 wins and a couple of draws.
Only saving grace is in April playing Southend, Wycombe and Peterbrough who could all be mid table with little to play for.
Think I’d sign up right now to going to Shrewsbury last day and just needing a point to stay up as would be the case with how table looks now.
Some interesting games tonight. Got a feeling Oxford will win at Accrington and Rochdale are at home to Wimbledon and I suspect they’ll do a little better at home to the Dons on a Tuesday night than what happened last week.
Bristol Rovers and Gillingham have two of the most difficult away games in the division so very bad night if either of them pick up a shock win.
