Magic Number

Promoted on Tuesday, so that you can relax and enjoy is winning the title on Saturday.

We can't get promoted on Tuesday.

Oh for God's sake when will people get this whole Magic Number thing. It isn't rocket science, just a simple bit of arithmetic.

Let me explain.

If West Ham don't win then they either drop 2 or 3 pts (depending on whether they lose or draw). Got that bit?

That means that our Magic number drops to either 2 or 1 on Tuesday (and the WHU result will be in before we finish since they KO 15 mins earlier than we do). Is that also simple enough?

Thus, if West Ham win, we can't get promoted on Tuesday, because we can't get 4 pts in one game.

If West Ham Draw we could be promoted by beating Forest because West Ham's 2 pts dropped added to our 3 pts gained is 5 - which is higher than the Magic Number.

If West Ham lose then we only need a draw against Forest, because West Ham's 3 pts dropped added to our 1 pt gained is 4 - which is the Magic Number.

I get it, I just got slightly muddled up between winning promotion and winning the league... relax.

To make it dead easy for everyone;

If we better Wet Shams result on Tuesday, then we are up !

Failing that, we need a maximum of 4 points from our remaining 3 games to go up.

Revisit this thread on Tuesday after the games, and we'll then have a clearer view of what (if anything) is required.
