This could be an interesting season

It's starting to get ugly at the top. It wouldn't suprise me if 80 points will be required just for a play off spot. Conversely I reckon 85 will secure 2nd. It's clearly between us, Leeds,Baggies and Sheffield and don't write off Bristol. So any two from five. Absolute bastard of a last minute winner for West Brom tonight. Fuck it.

Is it possible to work out the max points we will need to get (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:00:58
- No one said 9 yet? (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Feb 19, 23:44:44
- That would be if Sheff Utd beat Leeds and then they both win all of their other games (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:25:48
  - That would be to finish first. In that scenario we would need 37 and a GD between the two (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:29:05
    - Well obvs. It’s 39. Getting tired of saying it TBF *SCC mode* (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:44:27
    - Yes, but 37pts couldnt guarantee at least 2nd due to GD (n/m) (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:30:02
  - If Leeds beat Sheff Utd then 37pts would be enough for us to finish at least 2nd (n/m) (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:27:45
    - So that max is 39. I thank you. Fuckern warz. That was harder than it needed to be (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:30:32
      - Well, strictly speaking its 38 (n/m) (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:33:12
        
        If Leeds win all their games it's 35 (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 23:34:37
        
        "If" (n/m) (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:36:29
        
        so basically we are all dirty leeds fans (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 23:42:42
        
        Unless they lose their game in hand, then presumably we're all Blades fans (n/m) (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:43:26
- This could be an interesting season (NCFC) - MORDENCANARY, Feb 19, 22:24:24
- Well yes that’s quite simple. 39 points is the max we would need to finish 2nd. HTH (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 22:14:15
  - 37? (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:21:21
    - oh no. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:22:14
      - 39 more unless leeds beat sheff utd when they play (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:31:01
        
        What if they don't beat them? 39? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:37:08
        
        no. 38 but you can't get 38 pionts from 13 games. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:42:39
        
        i've confused myself (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:43:44
        
        yes (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:39:16
  - Erm, even I can work out that's not right (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:18:26
    - If Leeds win out, they finish first right? So what is the maximum number of points we can (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 22:25:35
      - But if Leeds win every game, West Brom and Sheff Utd will drop points? (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:29:35
        
        yes, so it must be 37. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:32:57
        
        Well no because we can get 2 more. How can 37 be max when we can get 39? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:04:48
        
        ha (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 23:16:53
        
        35 as sheff utd could only get 97. 11 wins 2 draws. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 22:39:03
        
        Max we need, not max we can get (NCFC) - Maximum Aarons, Feb 19, 23:21:07
        
        It’s 39 ffs. 35 cannot be max if we can do it with 39 (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:06:04
        
        Easy. 12 wins, 1 draw. It's in the bag. (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:35:12
        
        I think you’re confusing max with minimum guaranteed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 23:05:23
        
        he did say we will need and not can get (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Feb 19, 23:20:45
      - Noting that we’ve already played them twice. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Feb 19, 22:26:03
- yes (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 19, 22:01:55
  - That's because you can't (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:02:46
    - nice try (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 19, 22:16:02
      - Yes, it does sound a USAC job (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:19:24
- By that ^ I mean 'can someone do it please?' (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 19, 22:01:53
