Miracles do Happen. 49 Points?

portugull · Post by **portugull** » 14 Apr 2014, 20:10

We could still escape the drop. If we can get 3 wins and a draw we achieve 49 points. A big ask but possible.

Rovers could get well beaten at Pompey lose at home to Rochdale and Mansfield and draw at Wycombe. Result 48 points.

Wycombe get a draw home to Northampton, lose at Fleetwood and Torquay and draw with Rovers. Result 48 points.

The Cobblers draw at Wycombe and also home to Pompey and Oxford, both very tough games and lose at Daggers. Result 49 points.

Bixie what are the odds on United staying up? Might have a little flutter you never know!!

betvictor only ones offering odds, and they say 25/1

i imagine you'd get a better price backing us to win all four games tho, which is surely the very least its going to take to pull off the greatest of our many great escapes??

has anyone checked that that hovel that luton call home is up to league standards, it certainly was a shocker last time i went there??!!

51 needed and even then this might be not be enough.

You never know and 'never give up or surrender' but a big ask for a team who has only once won two on the bounce (let alone 4) all season.

Either way I will be supporting my club next season (whether it will be against Portsmouth or Welling) and I suspect (despite all the toys being thrown!) more than most who post on here will be doing the same.

That's quite a relief as I've been thinking that to get 51 will be bloody difficult!

The thing is we may get 49 points, great well done, but we will still be down as others will get more.

To tomogull and Super "stranger things have happened"

You never know! We have history when it comes to the great escape. I have not quite given up yet.

Miracles do happen and it is possible being 1 point from safety by the end of Easter Monday. I don't think that we will stay up and have left it too late for any battle, but funnier things have happened.

Interesting use of the word in the current situation!

Unfortunately, because northants play Wycombe on Friday, the best we can hope for on Easter Monday is 2 points behind. Still within one game though!

Just the winning games part that's tricky.
