    My grandad always had them down on his pools coupon for a Draw, home or away, whoever they played.

    I jest you not, one of the questions on my General Studies "A" Level exam back in 1982 (it was all multiple choice) was "What is a Freudian Slip" and I chose the answer that was a piece of Victorian Underwear. It haunts be to this day.

    Season over....

    Nonsense. Much to play for but our management team and playing personnel need to up the bar

    If we're being given a 43% chance of making the play offs does that not mean a 57% chance of missing out? Surely autos is now 0%

    I just provided the link. I would think that ‘Auto’s’ is now getting to Lottery odds. Yes if you can mathematically get the points it is possible, but in my view highly unlikely.

    It's a classic case of Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics- you interpret them whichever way you wish. For what it's worth if I was a betting man 7th is what I'd be lumping on with the unpredictable results to continue!

    22 points off Leyton Orient - Embarrassing that!
    9 Points off Stevenage
    7 points off Carlisle but they have 2 games in hand.

    16 games left - possible 48 points.

    It's highly unlikely we will finish in the automatic spot. 20% chance currently is about correct.

    Can't disagree with any of that apart from 20% chance of autos being mightily optimistic on our current showing imo.

    46 points to play for is still a lot.

    We are not catching LO as that's only 24 points but 9 points (not including Carlisle 7 points plus 2 games in hand) is 37 points left to play for.

    A each match goes by though that Carlisle win our percentage decrease.

    I think whatever the percentages an automatic finish won’t happen and given our home record our play off chances depends a lot on how we do away and to keep up our away record will take some doing

    Leyton Orient running away with it is good. Statistically that makes the points needed for 7th lower.

    Season still over? After last night's performance, I don't think so.

    Oh sure, there is no way I'm counting any chickens, or bantams. We may yet slide meekly out of the playoff spots. But the idea that we've nothing left to play for is for the birds.
