saxon51 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Good point chuffinel. 2 Sheff Utd .......41 27 79 3 Watford .........41 22 72 4 Leeds ............41 20 72 5 Crystal Palace .41 21 70 The goal difference between us and Watford is +5 to us. If we win 2 and draw 2 as I posted, and Watford/L**ds win all theirs we'll all end up on 87 points and the table will look like this: Worked out as though we win our two, by 1 goal, and they win their 5, by 1 goal 2 Sheff Utd .......41 29 87 3 Watford .........41 27 87 4 Leeds ............41 25 87 5 Crystal Palace .41 26 85 We would then be safe to lose the one match by only one goal, and we go up auto. I think I did that right. So what we need to see over the last five games is a mini-table that looks something like this: 2 Sheff Utd .......5 (W) 2 .... (D) 2 ..... (L) 1 (GD)+2 or better.... (PTS)8 3 Watford .........5 (W) 5 .... (D) 0 ......(L) 0 (GD)+5 or less........(PTS)15 4 Leeds ............5 (W) 5 .....(D) 0 ......(L) 0 (GD)+7 or less........(PTS)15 Goal difference in bold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Lets not forget that dirty L**ds have a few tough games left: Reading (home) Blades (away) Preston (away) I don't see any evidence of Reading taking their foot off the pedal, champions or not. Coppell will definitely want to win this one. Watford : Luton (home) - a local derby Wolves (away) Ipswich (home) QPR (away) Irrespective of what L**ds and Watford do, the future of The Blades rests with The Blades. I just hope NW listens to the comments on this forum, and puts Monty back in the side. Up The Mighty Blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon51 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Simplified minimum requirements to ensure auto promotion - irrespective of what Watford and L**ds do is: Blades: W2 D2 L1 dependant on goal difference!! or ....... W2 D3 L0 definite promotion!! or ....... W3 D0 L2 ditto :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadablade Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think that we need 9 points to be sure. 8 points only guarantees a tie for 2nd or 3rd. This is of course conditional on L***s or Watford winning all their remaining games If we win our 3 home games we are up simple as Get behind the lads at BDTBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syko1979 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 http://www.network54.com/Forum/45762/ It's a Leeds forum I've been posting on. Bit of healthy banter plus you don't have to register, just post away. I've been winding them up proper. They take it hook, line and sinker every time.
