Points needed?

[Sweepy]

I can read it as often as you like, but it will still say that if the team in 21st place has 48 points, then 49 points is enough to stay up. And that's a simple fact, whether you like it or not.

We don't need more points than the team in 20th, just the team in 21st.

But the point is this does not work if BRENTFORD are one of the teams in the bottom four and therefore are one of the teams lowering the balance of points. Therefore, we do need more points than the team in 20th, because that is the team which needs to be overhauled. Overhaulting the team in 21st puts BFC in........... 21st.

To look at it another way still. If Bournemouth, for argument's sake, finishes in 21st with 45 points, although you could argue that 46 would be enough to stay up, that is a futile argument if the team in 20th finishes on 51 points.

Leyton Orient Played 46 Points 48
Bournmouth Played 46 points 47
Rotherham Played 46 Points 44
Cheltenham Played 46 Points 42

A depressing Cheltenham win.

Not that I was too optimistic a month ago, but what with the other sides down at the bottom actually showing some heart...we're ******.
