Tonights Games

[Concretebob]

We have to hope Oldham lose at home to Doncaster on Saturday or Need a point minimum against Rochdale, not panicking but looking at the possible scenarios

The odds on is going down are astronomical mate.

 

[Concretebob]

No interest in the reason for their poor support (or our comparatively decent support). League 1 should be as attractive as possible and respectable attendances are all part of that. Blackburn, Wigan, Bradford, Bristol Rovers, Wimbledon (especially) are all in close proximity to better (or much better) sides and can average more than 3,300-odd per game. Don't think Rochdale's proximity to other clubs really excuses the poor attendances.

Just you wait until Accrington are in league one next season!

 

[dabigfella]

Surely we must be safe now, even if we lose our last two

Nope! Still two points needed to be absolutely safe. (That's the worst case scenario!)

 

[saddletramp]

Northampton last 2 games,Walsall & Oldham,win those and they have a chance.

 

[Foley]

Will need a point on Saturday

Dont need a point.
But I reckon Rochdale would settle for one so a good chance it will be

 

[Foley]

Nope! Still two points needed to be absolutely safe. (That's the worst case scenario!)

No its not. Draw on Saturday and we are mathematically safe.

Really ?
Oxford goal difference 12 better than Oldham,with a draw and a 3-0 defeat at Blackburn,it would mean Oldham would have to win by 9 goals in 2 games !!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Rochdale would have to win both their last two
AND
Oldham would have to win both their last two
AND
Walsall would have to get at least five points from their last three
AND
Gillingham will have to get at least 1 more point than us
AND
Wimbledon will have to get at least 3 more points than us from their three games
AND
We would have to lose both our last games (probably by quite a few as our goal difference is better)

Could happen. Won't happen.

Yes the place is about the size of Witney. Really who cares how many fans a team has anyway, Sunderland are going down with 40,000 fans and we can never beat Fleetwood

 

[Foley]

Oldham to go down I reckon. Them or Walsall.

Yes I agree that is likely
And 50 points may well be enough.

What are the odds on us going down with MethvenBet?

 

[moomooland]

Draw on Saturday and we are safe.
If we lose but Oldham fail to win, we are safe anyway.

 

[gofish2]

As it happens Bob, Charlie referred to us as playoff contenders at the beginning of the season. I said in reply, no chance-mid table is most likely. We were both wrong.

 

[Gary Baldi]

What are the odds on us going down with MethvenBet?

1 million to one on, with a free bottle of Methven's homebrew Moonshine with every bet. You can use the Puss Out feature to get your stake back

Two wins by us and we could finish mid-table now I’m a moonshiner.?

 

[gofish2]

My objective worst case view is this. For absolute guaranteed safety we need 3 points just in case Oldham win both their games scoring 12 goals and we lose both/score nothing.

 

[Browny]

Draw is good although loss Would've been better. Rochdale have to win both there games now to even catch us.

The same with Oldham. I'd say we're 95% safe.

Didn't really matter as even if Rochdale had lost, in relation to us they would still need to win both games. Whether they were 5 or 6 points behind us had they win both and we lost both then their GD would then be better than ours even with all 1-0 results. So the important thing was then not winning

I would love to be wrong
