Brighton & Hove Albion vs Sheffield Wednesday *** Official Match Thread ***

[Machiavelli]

If we get promoted, yes please. If not, I think I'll be too miserable to share anyone's company.
I'm not a mathematician
I was going for 87 or more, since we can't (realistically) beat them on GD.

It's tight with 87. You're now prompting me to have a look at the remaining fixtures of Burnley, Boro and Hull. In other words, I haven't spurned you yet.

I'm all for being negative about our chances but those saying that our record against Wednesday is poor are conveniently stopping their count just before one of my favourite Amex evening games in 2012 that ended 3-0 to us.

How about if we win tonight, it will be five home wins in a row? Something we've never done in our history?

If we go on an average of 2 points per game for the top three, they'll end up with:
Burnley 90
Boro 89
Hull 88
I still think it's unlikely that all three will end up with that ratio. One will in all likelihood, it's about 50-50 that two will, but would be surprised if all three do. Looking at their run-ins, they're all easier than ours, Hull's especially, who have seven home games left. And it's their run-ins that's swaying things for me. Will go with 88 if you're willing to bite. Proceeds to REMF, with [MENTION=27447]Goldstone1976[/MENTION] providing liquid refreshments.

ps I'll never accuse you of being a mathematician again. Promise.

Likewise, and I think I've seen others post this today also, I'd bought a ticket last week and am now feeling utter shite so probably can't make it. Going to take every medicine under the sun to see if I can hold out for a few hours but it might not be worth it.

I am already tucked up in bed and doubt I'll even make it awake to kick-off.

G'night all

So what exactly is the bet? My bet was that if we get 87 points, we won't finish in the top two. What are you asking for?

I didn't take it as an insult.

We will win 3-0.

I'll keep the poster's name who posted this to myself:

I have us finishing 5th.

Hard to predict Hull dropping many points. Battle for 2nd and 3rd will be tight. I also had Derby to finish 4th, but did (hopefully) over score the other teams.

projected total
Hull 103
Burnley 95
Boro 95
Derby 83
BHA 82
Weds 80

Yes I remember that post but I think it was 2 or 3 matches ago and I don't think anyone took it seriously in any case.

Whoever posted that is clearly mental!

When people do those predictor tables they never predict enough draws. I think there'll be a maximum of 4 points between 1st and 4th, and 89/90 points will probably win it. The last two games will see the top 4 all with a chance of automatics. 86/87 will be 1 or 2 points short

Do you mean just at The Amex? This stat doesn't sound right?

 

[GT49er]

Radio 5 are helpfully advertising airing the Sheffield Wednesday vs Brighton game tonight. It's not in Sheffield for Christ's sake! I know they are massive and I'm surprised they're not just advertising 'the Sheffield Wednesday' match tonight.

Radio 5 extra is providing commentary on the enthralling Charlton vs. MK Franchise tonight' Guess they know what's important and what's not ...........................................................

Boro will be on 91. You're not a mathematician either.

Well, that would at least give us a chance to get our revenge on Derby for the last time we were in the play-offs. Until it's mathematically certain that it can't happen, though, I'm still looking for an automatic spot.

 

[Triggaaar]

Team?

At least Lua Lua is on the bench, might need him in the second half.
