If we lost both games by 1 goal, MK would have to win games by 2 and 3 goals to go ahead of us, or 4 and 1!!

Make sense? Basically, even if we lose both games by one goal we should be safe

They get auto.

We have a goal diff of 7 better than them, so if we lose both by the same margins they win theirs, they would get automatic as the goal difference would be the same and they'd have a better goals for.

We basically have to lose by less than they win.

the difference is 7

if we lose by the smallest margin 1-0

Then that will take 2 off our goal difference...so we'd be 5 ahead so Franchise would need to add to their goal difference 5 to draw level (which would be enough....more goals scored), so a minimum of 5 goals in two games so...

1-0 & 4-0
2-0 & 3-0
3-0 & 2-0
4-0 & 1-0


Obviously if we lose by more than goes out the window

So here we are in the final week. If we win or draw = party time.

If we lose then Franchise need to overturn a 4 goal difference - they go up on goals scored if they do.

Anyway, Batch does a Vorederman to help anyone still struggling (if anyone is):

Code:

Swindon                           Franchise                        Result
Lose by 1 goal                    1-0, 2-0                       Swindon up
Lose by 1 goal                    Win by 3 clear goals           Franchise up
Lose by 2 goals                   1-0                            Swindon go up
Lose by 2 goals                   win by 2 clear goals           Franchise go up
Lose by 3 or more goals           Win  (any win)                 Franchise go up


So there we go. Every goal is important.

Actually, if we lose they only have to overcome three ... We'd have to lose by at least 1-0 so they'd then only have to make up three if you see what I mean. If we lose 1-0 and they win 3 then they go up on goals scored.

Yes I know, 1 goal loss + a 3 goal win for mk = a 4 goal difference overturn as per the table Wink

I know mate - just pointing out that it's an impossible scenario for them to need to need four goals. They only need three, at most, if we lose.
