Bradford H MKD H Bury A Walsall H Blackpool H Donny H Northampton A Draws against Dale A, Southend H, and Gillingham H Job done!! So, we needed 7 then. (not having a go, just interesting to see how we did.) Since then we have got only 3 Correct Won Bradford H Correct Won MKD H Won Incorrect Drew Bury A Incorrect Drew Walsall H Correct Won Blackpool H Donny H Northampton A Draws against Correct Drew Dale A, Southend H, and Correct Drew Gillingham H So all in all, pretty good predictions, so how come we are still struggling!!! Of course 3 wins v Donny, Nothampton & Southend and we'll be comfortably safe) So out of the 21 possible pts we've played, your predictions have yielded 13. Or 0.61 per game We get that rate of return from the remaining 3 would be nearly 4 pts, and not quite safe. Just one extra win an bonus points elsewhere like Wimbledon.

We did get the unexpected win at Scunny and a point at Oxford Singe! I recon we will need 53 points to be safe so as long as we beat Donny and Northampton we should be OK. Think it will go to the wire though and expect a mad scramble for 800 tickets at Northampton. Last day fixtures probably mean anything could happen!

Last day fixtures probably mean anything could happen! Well,we didn't beat Donny but the rest is true.It only took a few minutes this morning to sell the extra 500 seats so could have doubled that.It is what it is now and Northampton won't be out to do us any favours and seems other clubs want us down.Seems like no one likes us....do we care!!?

I've seen a few Charlton fans on twitter saying they're happy to draw if it sends us down. Bizarre really, especially with them possibly going up anyway. I kind of like it, though.

Who else does he think he's got the option of doing a favour for? If they do beat us that's helping Dogdale and that's not no-one. The simple twat.

Witty Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'd like to gauge the level of optimism/pessimism on OWTB regarding whether we'll do it on Saturday. For me it's depends on what time of day you ask me. I tend to think we will but it will be something like an injury time goal that swings it. Somebody start a poll. I would but I'm generally crap at these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should start a board specifically designed for predictions where you predict the score at full time half time the scorer and the crowd and keep score over the course of the season to see who predicts the best.
