DVinho - I think your monitoring of the points per game needed is great, but is there any chance you could add in a recent form points per game - so to perhaps look at the points per game for each team over the course of the last 5 games?  This would give a better reflection of who is likely to pull out of the drop zone based on current form.  I have a horrible feeling that if you consider this, there are already two teams who are on decent enough run of form that the bottom four may already be decided, even if we were to win 4 of the last 5 (which we wont - sorry just being realistic).

[DiV]

I could do and have done before.

We've been so far out of it for so long anyway I haven't seen the point.

I also started with the whole bottom half of the table.

Maybe after the next set of fixtures when 2 or 3 more teams pass 52 it'll be worth going into more detail.

So, if I'm working stuff right, I don't think we can make the playoffs anymore

[DiV]

We can't even make the top half.

[flammableBen]

I don't think we'll make the playoffs

[wheretherealredsare]

I don't think we'll make the playoffs

Think positive! We can make the League Two playoffs, maybe even automatic promotion!

I was wondering what you were going to do when the points required/game went above 3.00.

[flammableBen]

I thought he was going to give up and not come back.

[pauld]

So, 48 points then, not 52. Not that it matters. But at least we snuck over the 40 line

I think its 48 most years to be fair. The point is that its very rare to get relegated with 52.

[flammableBen]

How well did we match up to Wilson's Whitboard Wish-list?

Yeah I know that. The point I was trying to make (badly) was partly a backreference to DV's dogmatic insistence on a 50+ survival target this season when a lot of us thought it would be lower and partly that it may as well have been 762 for all the chance we had of reaching it.

How well did we match up to Wilson's Whitboard Wish-list?

Pretty badly. IIRC his whiteboard targets would have taken us to 63-odd points. But then he never got those flying unicorns he wanted either
