sydneyblue Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Interesting posts on 606 (BBC) in two parts. Right Statto head on - a purely objective view on promotion, from one of the over-zealous Oldham Fans... I have looked at the past 5 years League tables, and calculated the average number of points needed to be placed in the top 6 - this works out thus (are you all excited....) 1st - 92pts (Highest 100, Lowest 82) 2nd - 83pts (Highest 86, Lowest 79) 3rd - 81pts 4th - 78pts 5th - 76pts 6th - 75pts (Highest 81, lowest 71) Soooo, what does that mean for the top 8 contenders? Well, the 2 most consitent boundaries over the 5 years have been 83pts for promotion (couldnt give a monkeys about winning the league), and 75 points for the Playoffs (take out the freakish 2003 with Wigan and the top 6 battering all) and these are almost exact... Right then, so 1 by 1... Oldham & Scunny - 58 pts, 15 games left Promotion - 1.6ptspergame. 8/9 wins (56%). PO's -1.1ppg,6 Wins(40%) Notts Forest - 56 pts, 15 Games Left Promotion - 1.8 ppg, 9 wins.(60%) PO's - 1.25ppg, 7 wins(47%) Yeovil - 54 pts, 15 Games Left Promotion - 1.9ppg, 10 wins.(66%) PO's - 1.4ppg, 7/8 wins(50%) Brizzle City - 53 pts, 15 games Left Promotion - 2ppg, 10 wins,(66%) PO's - 1.5ppg, 7/8 wins(50%) Trannies - 49pts, 14 Games left Promotion - 2.4ppg, 11/12 wins(82%) - PO's 1.9ppg 9/10 wins(67%) Swans - 47 Pts, 15 Games Left Promotion - 2.4ppg - 12 Wins(80%) - PO's 1.9ppg(66%) - 10 Wins (win the extra game as Tranmere have the points on the board) Blackpool - 47 Points, 17 Games Left Promotion - 2.1ppg, 12 wins(70%) - PO's 1.6ppg 9 wins.(53%) Doncaster - 46 pts, 16 games left Promotion - 2.3ppg - 12/13 wins(78%) - PO's 1.8ppg, 10 Wins(63%) So that means... 1. Realisticaly - Only Oldham, Scunthorpe, Forest, Yeovil, Bristol can win automatic promotion (more than 2pts a game is unrealistic) 2. Oldham, Scunthorpe & Forest will be in the top 6. 3. Tranmere will definitely miss out on everything.. 4. Everyone needs to win lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneyblue Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Part two Soooo, based on the percentage of games each team needs to win to achieve a top 6 finish... the table would look like this.. 1. Oldham (goal Difference) 2. Scunthorpe 3. Forest 4. Yeovil 5. Bristol 6. Blackpool 7. Doncaster 8. Swansea 9. Tranmere Right... add some form into the mixer.... The current order of form of these teams are as follows: 1. Oldham 2. Yeovil 3. Blackpool 4. Doncaster 5. Scunthorpe 6. Bristol 7. Swansea 8. Forest 9. Tranmere So, if you combine the two, objective facts, and subjective form... the final table will look like this... (adding the 2 positions together - lowest the best.. same points settles by current position) 1. Oldham (2) 2. Yeovil (6) 3. Scunthorpe (7) 4. Blackpool (9) 5. Forest (11) 6. Bristol (11) 7. Doncaster (11) 8. Swansea (15) 9. Tranmere (18) As you can see, i have proved, conclusively, that anyway you look at it - Oldham will go up... I would also like to congratulate Yeovil on thier automatic promotion.... Tranmere - Sorry boys - I feel for you ;) FACT PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Oh when the blueeeeeesssss!

Rocky_Latic Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'd rather just take one game at a time, and work it from what position we cant finish. Which starts with when it's mathetmatically impossible for us to finish 24th. Which is still about 5/6 games away at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I'm now reasonably confident we'll finish in the top 6. We can make auto promotion, but it's going to be VERY tight. I just don't want to finish third - I want Forest to finish third and then not go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
