oafcprozac Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 We are relegated on goal difference, a final day home defeat to Charlton proves decisive after Gillingham win at already relegated Wycombe... Brentford D Gills W Hudds L Bristol Rov L Mongs L Carlisle D Southend w Southampton L Yeovil L Charlton L 48 points, we go down on GD, as I think we've a few hammerings to come - i'm convinced cautious Dave's safety first tactics will be our downfall. Exeter who are awful have scored TEN more goals than us so far! Penney needed a minimum of 12 points from the 18 available in March, the most he can get is 11. Anything more than 6 points this week and we're doomed in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just a bit more confident than that... purely as I think Rovers will go to sleep pretty soon, and Saints and Yeovil will have bugger all to play for by then - however our record in the south west is pitiful... Its all about playing teams that have sod all to play for, which is why I think the points may come from people other than Southend and Gillingham... I think 48/49 points will see us safe however, purely cos theres some dross down there with us.... we will see, however this aint going to be fun. at all.

Stevie_J Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I haven't done the predictor but I've been looking at the fixture list for a while thinking the next two games could be make or break. Those are two where we have to be looking for three points. And the games after that all look tough. If we slip up in the next two, we could easily end up finishing the season with a bad run and going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirinclassic Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm convinced it'll come down to needing a result against Charlton. And I ain't too confident we can get one... Cheers, KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.hill12 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i did it and had us finishing 4 points above the drop but there's alot of teams down there that play eachother so it's going to be close. i also did the prem 1 and had chelsea winning by 2 points and pompey west ham and burnley going down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebuckley06 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i had us 4 points clear of the drop but with the teams around us playing each other anything could happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Got the Tramps and Orient dropping down when I've done it. We finish a whole point clear. Then again I've got Swindonia going up and Udders making the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take That Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Got the Tramps and Orient dropping down when I've done it. We finish a whole point clear. Then again I've got Swindonia going up and Udders making the playoffs. I've got us safe on 49 points in 16th despit only getting a point at Yeovil from our last 2 games. Southend and Exeter going down on 44 points with Wycombe and Stockport. Also got Swindon pipping Millwall for 2nd with Leeds in 4th and Southampton and Charlton also in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The only sure thing is we really need to get behind the lads from now until the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i had us 4 points clear of the drop but with the teams around us playing each other anything could happen same with me. 18th and four points clear. right now, id take that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebuckley06 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 i also uprised myself by having southampton sneaking into the play offs and swindon only missin out to leeds on goal difference for 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The only sure thing is we really need to get behind the lads from now until the end of the season. Worth another 4 points I'd say, as we urge them to turn lame draws in to hard-battling wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Stockport and probably Wycombe have gone. Looking at the fixtures I can see it being 2 from Exeter, Southend and Hartlepool to join them. I think we will pick up another 2 wins and 3 draws which should see s safe by 4 or 5 points. At the top end can see Leeds blowing it with probably Millwall pipping them, although looking at the fixtures, it could well be Swindon who sneak in.

oafc-latics Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Does anyone not want Swindon to go up? id prefer them to leeds, millwall or charlton but i can see them coming straight back down if they go up. the others would definately have better chance and be better for a championship neutral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham Community Trust Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Just did the same with a slightly different perspective and with Oldham winning the game on the 24th, Oldham are safe on 50 points and SUFC relegated on 45... Then rejigged the game on the 24th with Latics and Southend sharing a 2 - 2 draw thanks to goals from Scott Spencer and Vernon cancelling out early strikes for Abbott and Taylor and Tranmere go down instead on goal difference.... Happy days! However it works out you fancy it going to the last day with 2 from 6 in contention! My feeling is it will be Stockport, Wycombe, Gillingham and Tranmere/Southend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 There is not a chance that we will go down. There are far worse teams than us down there. And I'm the most pessimistic person in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham Community Trust Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Would have to agree with that although a few more goals would reinforce that fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i'd wish that on any team, but, you know, everyone for themselves at this stage of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
