Six more wins………..

Re: Six more wins………..

the law of averages as a colloquial term that has nothing to do with probability. In this context it means they can't keep winning forever.

However, we can move on......

Re: Six more wins………..

that's why I finished my post with "Can't see it though" as I think they have found a winning formula for this division.

You’d expect them to stutter a bit the
closer they get to the line but with no real threat to automatic promotion from the chasing pack then that will also work in their favour.

Re: Six more wins………..

Also their fans are less entitled than ours and theres much less pressure on them from their own fanbase.

the law of averages is a colloquialism about expectation. come on, you're a linguist, you should know this. its nothing to do with chance.

I seem to have the same understanding of the concept in question as t'interweb but not to worry, old fruit :-)

Re: Six more wins………..

The law of averages suggests Lincoln will slip up but the same law implies we will too. Thus we can never catch them.

then you'll understand it means Lincoln can't win forever, but my view is I think they'll remain unbeaten for the rest of the season. Whether that means we can catch them or not is moot.

We’re not going to catch Lincoln if they don’t lose in their last nine games and it won’t be the end of my world if we don’t. My priority is automatic promotion because if we end up in the Play Offs from this position then I won’t be expecting much from us in them.

Re: Six more wins………..

I reckon we get two of those wins in the next week. Depending on Boltons results we may be almost there.

We could catch them if we win two more than they do.

3 wins and a draw and we’re there, the Bolton game could be a promotion party
Good job it’s a 12.30 KO so we have more time to celebrate ��

Re: Six more wins………..

I'd rather be 4 points head if I'm honest.

We all would.

But would you rather watch them or us every week?

I find their style of football quite depressing to watch on the few occasions I have seen them, whereas some of the stuff we have played this season has been great.

Re: Six more wins………..

Recent form Exeter 0 - Lincoln 1
Exeter 0 - Cardiff 4

I think we can catch them, it's advantage Lincoln and theirs to lose, but we have a good chance and a great set of fixtures.

They are ahead because they won the two six-pointers against us.

Bolton have quite easy games this week also…..

I agree our brand of football is more aesthetically pleasing, but Lincoln are limited in their resources and given where they have come from, I'm sure their fans are very happy with how the season has panned out. The history books won't remember the style of football, just who wins the league.

They are unbeaten in 20, they have won six on the bounce. I bet their fans aren't discussing their style of football at all. We weren't complaining under Malky and his football was bland in comparison to BBB.
