9 points should be enough for the play offs!
#WeAreArgyle
I agree 9 points should be enough but we really need 11 for nothing else to matter.
At the moment we need to finish above either Scunthorpe or Charlton.
Charlton can only get 9 more points than they currently have which would put them on 74 points. They have Portsmouth on Saturday, Blackburn the weekend after and Rochdale the last game of the season.
Should they obtain all 9 points it would mean that Portsmouth could only manage to get to 69 points so would be out of the running I would imagine.
We are currently on 64 points so to get above Charlton we need 11 points. If Charlton drop points for example if they lose to Portsmouth on Saturday we would need to get 73 points because then Portsmouth could get a maximum 72 points.
I have left out the away fixture at Scunthorpe because its kind of irrelevant in working everything out. We need 11 points and if we manage to get 3 of those points away at Scunthorpe they would only be able to gain a maximum of 73 (currently 76)
Its going to be close whatever happens and for me its an exciting time to be an argyle fan!. My club have won me £1000 this year and I might yet go on to win some more if we can sneak a playoff play and gain promotion!
