THE MAGIC NUMBER THREAD

[Law's Bus]

If my maths is right, we've just ticked off the second target, and are now assured of at least a play-off place.

 

[Kenny]

Yep. No team below Derby can catch us now

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

What's the number for promotion now, 9?

 

[Kenny]

It is and due to Cardiff being a machine it is 19 for the title I think.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Cardiff can still reach 103 so 19 for certainty.

Lge |-----Club-----|- Games -|-Max-pts -|--Pts--|
Pos |----Name-----|Remain--|-available-|-won--|
-----------------------------------------------------
-01-|---Wolves----|----7-----|----106----|--85--|
-02-|---Cardiff----|----8-----|----103----|--79--|
-03-|---Fulham---|----7-----|-----93-----|--72--|
-04-|---Villa-------|----8-----|-----93-----|--69--|
-05-|---Derby-----|----8-----|-----86-----|--62--|
-06-|---'Boro------|----7-----|-----83-----|--62--|

So Fulham and Villa can still theoretically get 93 points, so we need 9 points now to get to 94 pts and promotion.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You can leave Boro off your little table now. They cannot catch us. And you can remove Derby on Tuesday

Just showing the playoffs (top six), and the comparison shows how good we are.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh - I understand. Just thought it would be nice to reduce the table as teams became more and more irrelevant. Hopefully down to two by Friday.

Updated after the Villa game today

 

[nimrod]

called 94 as the target a while back and still looking like we’re breaking well through that, plus it’s now the max we need to guarantee promo. hopefully Fulham drop something asap at Sheffield U and it’s all over bar the shouting.

Fulham don’t play Sheff United again this season - Cardiff do tomorrow though.

Stearman, Evans and Clarke to give the blades a 3-0 win!

We now need 9pts for promotion and 17pts for the title.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If we win on Friday it will be less than 17 of course, as we will have denied Cardiff points.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Could be into single digits by Saturday if Wolves get the results they want.

 

[Dinowolf]

If we win on Friday it will be less than 17 of course, as we will have denied Cardiff points.

If we win tomorrow it will less than 17 as it will drop to 14pts.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Plus they have to visit Villa Park the week after - one game that I would like Villa to win

 

[Banjo]

Could be into single digits by Saturday if Wolves get the results they want.

I'm sure it's been asked before so apologies if I missed the answer, Mark, but why do you always insist on referring to the Wolves as if you were a neutral observer? I'm pretty sure I've never seen you refer to the team or club as "us" or "we".

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If we win tomorrow it will less than 17 as it will drop to 14pts.

And on Friday it could be 8
