Condensed table as it stands...

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

On Saturday, if:
- Millwall lose
- we draw
- Dale win
- Gas win

... that keeps all four teams interested for the final game with us in the box seat.

I might just wander down the bookies to set up a little accumulator on that one.

 

[mattitouk]

So the updated Condensed ("Milk cup)"....(the older shrimpers on SZ will remember this!).... the current table of possible play off's currently looks like this:

2. Bolton..........P44 PTS 80 / GD + 27
......................................................
3. Fleetwood....P44 Pts 78 / GD + 20
4. Scunthorpe...P44 Pts 76 / GD + 23
5.Bradford........P44 Pts 75 / GD +16
6 Millwall......... P44 Pts 70 / GD +11
.......................................................
7 Southend.......P44 Pts 69 / GD +17
8 Rochdale........P44 Pts 67 / GD +9
9 Bristol Rovers.P44 Pts 66 GD +1

Here's a bit of symmetry, with a positive outcome for next Sunday.

Against the bottom eight sides, we have :-

Didn't win either game

Swindon Town
Port Vale
Gillingham
Shrewsbury Town

Won both games

Chesterfield
Coventry City
Oldham Athletic
Bury (?)

:thumbsup:

It's all down to the last day for Millwall, Rochdale and Southend. Oh well, never a dull moment!

 

[MK Shrimper]

I see Rochdale nicking it.

 

[AndyT]

I actually did, as well. Especially when they were 1-0 up yesterday and had pole position for a short while.

 

[OldBlueLady]

True, but we still need Millwall to drop points. I have a feeling it'll go to the last game. Squeaky bum time.

Very prophetic MK!

Here is the latest update....coffee-fuelled....

6 Millwall ......P45 70 +8 Bristol R (A)
7 Southend.. P45 69 +16 Bury (H)
8 Rochdale... P45 68 +9 Bradford C (A)

19 Bury........ P45 50 -11 Southend (A)
20 Gills........ P45 49 -20 N'Hampton (A)
21 P.Vale......P44 45 -26 Walsall (A), Fleetwood (A)

It's getting tense...

 

[AndyT]

I think Vale are f***ed.

They've lost 5 on the trot, without even scoring a goal!

6 Millwall ......P45 70 +8 Bristol R (A)
7 Southend.. P45 69 +16 Bury (H)
8 Rochdale... P45 68 +9 Bradford C (A)

19 Bury........ P45 50 -11 Southend (A)
20 Gills........ P45 49 -20 N'Hampton (A)
21 P.Vale......P44 45 -26 Walsall (A), Fleetwood (A)

It's getting tense...

So the permutations are as follows (I think)

Millwall are in the play-offs if they win, or if they draw, and neither of us or Rochdale win, or if they lose, we lose and Rochdale don't win
We are in the play-offs if we win, and Millwall don't, or if we draw and Millwall lose and Rochdale don't win.
Rochdale are in the play-offs if they win, and both Millwall and ourselves don't win.

Lots of phone checking on Sunday I think.....:Scared2:

 

[AndyT]

Let's hope Bury don't field an ineligible player, who comes on as sub and scores a last minute equalizer.

I think the EFL might have a decision or two to make!

 

[RobM]

OK here's me being Mister Simple from Simpletown. IF we win Sunday and Millwall don't, job done.

It sounds more attainable when you say that.
But you're right of course.

I will try to make it look even better.L

If we 'WIN' our HOME game against a team that have been poo all season ( forget James Vaughn if you can )

Millwall 'HAVE TO WIN AWAY AT BRISTOL ROVERS'

Imagine if that did happen and we took Millwall's play-off place by default! Am I right in thinking that they didn't award us the 3 points last season after their ineligible player was identified though?

 

[AndyT]

Spot on 'Dan'.

They just scrubbed Bury's points, which sets a dangerous precedent, if it did happen and had an impact on the result, especially as the decision would be after the play-offs are complete, so irreversible, I guess.

They were lucky it happened in a fairly meaningless end of season game. I dread to think of the reaction if Bury or ourselves had been in the promotion or relegation shake up, like on Sunday for example!

 

[AndyT]

They definitely were.

In theory, the game would need to be replayed, if the result mattered, which would mean replaying the entire play-offs in June or July.

It's simple really. We need to better Millwall's result, and hope Bradford do us a favour.

If only Brizzle had one more point...

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

If only Brizzle had one more point...

They deserved 4 when they beat us the other week, we were that bad.
