The final straight

[joethegill]

So, with everyone having around 10 or so games left, I thought I'd go back to the ever-reliable 'Fishy' calculator on the Grimsby fan site. You essentially input your predictions match by match (home win, away win or draw) and it'll calculate the final league table based on your predictions. You can alter the goal difference too if you want but generally I can't be arsed with that.

This is how mine has come out:

There's a few clubs who I've maybe been a bit harsh to (MK and Fleetwood picking up very few points in their remaining games), and a couple who I've maybe been over ambitious with (Scunny have done well on my workings out) but all in all I wouldn't be surprised to see this table at the end.

Anyway, it's just a bit of fun - https://thefishy.co.uk/football-calculator.php

Staying down on 95 points and having Plymouth away on a Thursday night in the play-offs, well I hope yours turns out to be wrong.

Here's mine:

Shrewsbury staying down on 96 points and Rochdale staying up are two things I can see wrong with that already

We are shite but we will pick up more than 6 points in the remaining 9 games.

Not that it matters.

Struggling to see where our points will come from. Oh well, One relegation in 16 tears isn't bad.

Fleetwood, Charlton, Bury and Oldham at home, and Walsall away can all be wins. We *should* do it with room to spare. No need for 16 tears I think.

I guess I don't rate Bury that much then - 2 points for the rest of the season

I think 53 points is a bit optimistic for us.I think we will be ok,but only just !!!!!!

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Everyone seems very high on us suddenly

 

[Gassy]

Probably because all of your home games are winnable. The only one (on paper) where you could struggle is Scunny.

At home I'd expect you to beat Oldham, Fleetwood, Southend & Rochdale. That's 12 points there which on your current points of 45 - makes 57 points

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Everyone predicting 47-48 points for us? The Great Escape is on...

I wouldn't expect us to beat Southend based on we usually at best only draw but mostly lose.

All of the teams you listed are on better form than us, I think they're more likely to struggle against one of them than against us.

I think since Jan 1st only Bradford have picked up less points than us.

 

[Gassy]

I understand both comments you both know your own clubs better than I do.

Just explaining why the general census is Oxford getting 12 points from their last games. For sure they'll probably draw or lose some of those home games, but equally they'll also draw or win some of the away games too.

Its always funny when a team (we've all been there) is out of form because you honestly can't understand where the next point is coming from - but I'm fairly certain Oxford will get around the 52 mark

Hoping Wigan and Blackburn are top 2 because i fancy us to beat anyone else in the playoffs.

Think it's gonna be tight between Scunny and Peterborough for the last playoff spot and im predicting that it will be Rotherham v Plymouth battling it out in one of the semis in playoffs.
