There was discussion not long ago about whether BFC could be promoted automatically. That option is now not mathematically possible.
We have now got ourselves into a situation where it may be necessary to win on the final day to finish in the top six Play Off positions.
To play--
Barnsley---Portsmouth A, Blackpool A, Northampton H
Oxford---Lincoln H, Stevenage H, Exeter A
Blackpool---Barnsley H, Reading A
Lincoln---Oxford A, Cheltenham A, Portsmouth H
The scenario of Barnsley losing at Portsmouth and Blackpool, Oxford beating Lincoln and Stevenage, Blackpool beating Barnsley, or Lincoln beating Oxford and Cheltenham, could leave a table approaching the final day of--
If Oxford beat Lincoln--
5th Oxford 79 pts
6th Barnsley 75 pts
7th Blackpool 73 pts
8th Lincoln 71 pts
If Lincoln beat Oxford--
5th Oxford 76 pts
6th Barnsley 75 pts
7th Lincoln 74 pts
8th Blackpool 73 pts
If Oxford-v-Lincoln finishes a draw--
5th Barnsley 75pts
6th Oxford 74pts
7th Blackpool 73 pts
8th Lincoln 72pts
Even a final day draw for Barnsley might not be enough as Oxford and Blackpool would probably have better Goal Differences by then.
What a fine mess you've gotten us into Collie. We could be doomed, doomed I tell you.
