The Kraken

Brilliant insight. All teams lose against teams they shouldn’t. Mind. Blown.

It was a little bit unlucky that there were 4 sides gunning for it. But as we’ve posted on this and other threads, and looking at the other points totals of recent years, 87 points fails to get you automatic Championship promotion in 9 of the past 10 years.

Its been an utter kicking of a weekend, yesterday they had one or two tiny little consolations to cling to (Teeside, where Tiny got in his jet again to fly up there and get his little face into the pictures). Today they’ve been utterly booted into the gutter. The public have spoken.

Yeah on paper I think I prefer the Norwich draw. But it’s the playoffs, anything can happen. I would neither be surprised if we won the whole thing or if we crashed out in the semis. 4 decent teams at this level going at it.

Never watched it but heard it’s really good. Might give it a go.

I particularly enjoyed the fact that Count Binface got nearly 25,000 votes. Which was more than the Britain First knuckledragger.

Probably not that, I’d suggest.

Not this again You need to look at what a normal team would score to finish second. Then you need to score more points than that. Then you’ll finish…….second. if you look at scoring more than the team who finish third, you’ll probably arrive at a total that will guarantee you’ll finish third.

4th being so high is certainly quite an oddity. But I’ve just surprised myself somewhat by looking at the tables for the past 10 years and what you need for automatic promotion. 101 91 80 90 88 82 97 91 87 93 83 81 94 89 83 99 90 88 94 93 85 93 89 89 90 89 86 102 93 85 So, even with their points tally, Leeds would have missed out on automatic promotion in 4 of the last 10 years. 6 they would’ve gone up, 1 of those on GD. So it’s a bit harder to get automatic than maybe I’d previously thought, you’re really looking at 94 to guarantee going up, maybe 93 with good GD. Roughly speaking anyway.

Its a madness of a league this season.

Good to rest Downes but can’t help thinking this could fuck us in this game. Bigger fish to fry though, keep the lad fresh.

Leicester obviously on the beach, Blackburn ahead. After 3/4 of the season it looked like three teams could hit the 100 point mark. Now it’s likely none of them will.

Che has gone straight to the dressing room. Less than ideal (or not, depending on your opinion).

Nessie warming up!

Was just thinking the same.
