Okay here goes.

The only way goal difference comes into play is if we draw one and lose two of our last three games and St J win all three of theirs. Even then our two defeats and their three wins would have to be by a combined 20 goals hence why "it's worth a point".

Bottom line is that EE is speaking sh1te as usual as we are not mathematically safe. Having said that St J are not getting three wins and we are not losing all three games
