I would be ok with stewart's calculation as long as we had a 3 points lead and an unassailable goal difference going into the final game. I am getting too old now to endure the last game drama we are famous for! 😉⚽️
I don't actually think that Sutton will last the pace either now that we have burst their 15 game bubble! ⚽️

Having carefully examined the remaining fixtures of the top group, my forecast of the final positions and points is as follows: 1. Torquay United 81 (goal difference) 2. Sutton United 81 3. Stockport County 79 4. Hartlepool United 77 5. Chesterfield 73 Would both go along and be happy if it ended like that. History would repeat itself as we got promotion in third place by goal difference with 81 points in 2004, 46 games played then of course. Also 81 points for fifth place in 2012. Win 8 and draw 1 of the remaining nine and Johnson will equal his 2019 National League South haul, not going to happen. Champions are likely to have between 80 and 85 points? Johnson has done it all before and the likes of CLE, Andrews, Wynter, Hall and Cameron had the pressure of a title chase 2 years ago. Waters, Wright and Hall have already won this title with Johnson and Moxey knows a thing or two about promotion as well so gives us a chance when the pressure is on to do better than the others? |

Rob, could you extrapolate the figures for us Secondary Modern kids into a simple 1st to 7th please?!!!! Not a chance.  Could ask Budleigh but probably best for Stefano to predict a late surge from some team like Woking to take the title. |

I would prefer to hear you say that Sutton will rebound from their recent defeat and piss the league. It is a tricky area as I do intersperse my gloomy match thread forecasts with more general optimistic predictions. I did post on 30 March that although Sutton was 10 points ahead with 13 games to go they would implode and we would catch them. I just didn't expect it to be so soon. The gloomy match thread forecasts started after I did 2 very positive forecasts and we lost both. The change to a prediction of getting hammered has seen us win 6 out of 7. Of course I know that in reality it makes no difference whatsoever and is in the same basket as voodoo dolls and mystical powers crystals, but there is always that element of doubt so I have to keep it up! 🤣 |

We are superstitious lot and no one wants to do anything to break a good sequence. Just imagine if you posted a winning score and we lost, your name would be mud..... |

I see that Law has returned to Plymouth. A few comments on the 20/21 squad thread. I never know which thread to comment on. May put them all on the trial thread in future and hope rjd Rob moves them to the proper place! 😉 |

Rob, could you extrapolate the figures for us Secondary Modern kids into a simple 1st to 7th please?!!!! I suppose I can do a form extrapolation looking a how many "x" games each club has left to play and then see how many points they have got from their last x games to give an indication of their final points total as a rough yardstick... Club Points Now, Form Points, Total Points Torquay.......63...........19...........82 Sutton.........63...........17...........80 Hartlepool....64...........15...........79 Stockport.....58...........21...........79 Chesterfield..52...........22...........74 Halifax.........50...........20...........70 Notts County.52...........15...........67 Quite a close fit to Stewart's prediction actually, no more than 2 points difference for any one team. Reinforces my gut feeling that the champions will have 80 to 85 points. Will update this as teams go up and down.... |

We are currently on 63 points from 33 games with goal difference plus 22
I have extrapolated from Stefano’s predictions that we will finish on 63 points from 42 games with a goal difference of minus 41.
