Burndens Bogs Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Makes interesting reading revisiting this thread from early April, so far we've exceeded expectations imo. We're almost there, we can taste it COYWM. Edited April 25, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted April 25, 2021 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2021 Just hope Carlisle beat Cheltenham mid week to keep things even more interesting The bookies seem certain we'll go up, but I'm not cashing out on that title bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, I’ll get £600 top three, £1,600 as champions. Plus I put aside £400 just in case we ended up in the play off final so that’ll feel like a win in itself. Shall be stocking up on BBQ stuff midweek ready for after the game. All courtesy of Co-Op giving us £100 worth of points to use in their shops after buying funeral plans through them a few months ago. Fucking jackpot.

Mantra Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) I wasn't too far off for the first 2 games but since then it's all gone to pot. 12pts from a possible 15 is fine by me though. Lost the "easy" game vs Grimsby but won the tough one vs Morecambe, swings and roundabouts. I back us to beat Exeter now, they've only got 6 pts from their last 5 games, they'll be pushing hard for playoffs but we should have enough quality to win. 4pt cushion means I'm looking up rather than down: Cambridge have to play Harrogate and Grimsby. Cheltenham have 3 games left - Carlisle, Newport & Harrogate. Can't see us snatching the title now, think 2nd place is best we can hope for. Think Cambridge will win both games and Cheltenham will also win 2 out of their three. Edited April 25, 2021 by Mantra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) If we'd beaten Grimsby last week we would have been promoted yesterday. Anyway nevermind, we'll do it at home on Saturday instead - one final push COYWM !! Edited April 25, 2021 by Burndens Bogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the run in: Harrogate (H) 16th place Salford (A) 11th place Grimsby (A) 24th Carlisle (H) 9th place Morecambe (A) 5th place Exeter (H) 8th place Crawley (A) 14th place I'll go first Bolton 3 - 1 Harrogate Salford 0 - 1 Bolton Grimsby 0 - 2 Bolton Bolton 2 - 1 Carlisle Morecambe 2 - 2 Bolton Bolton 0 - 1 Exeter Crawley 0 - 3 Bolton TOTAL: 16 points from 7 games = 80 points = 3rd place Had to put a loss in there and where better to put it but the penultimate game to get us really shitting ourselves? Wouldn't be Bolton without it. If we win the last 7 then we'll be champions in my opinion but I don't think that's a realistic assumption, although it's definitely possible with our squad. Just need to finish our dinner and keep calm. Not sure I did @Mounts Kipper Predicted us to win the first 4 games = 12 pts Draw vs Morcambe = 13 pts Lose to Exeter = 13 pts Beat Crawley final day = 16 pts Anyway not that it matters but maths isn't my strong suit so I was thinking you might be right but I've checked it and not sure you are.

Apologies, for some reason read the 0-3 to Crawley as a loss. Heads fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I was right about one thing. Losing the penultimate game to get us really shitting ourselves. We'll get the job done next week. (please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
