| Will 50 points mean safety? Prediction competition 09:32 - Mar 3 with 16653 views | Tonto |
Convention states that 50 points means safety in the championship. But with 11 games to go and the current form of the bottom half, that may not be enough?
So for sh1ts and giggles (no prizes), how many points is do you think the 3rd from bottom team will have when they get relegated.
I'm going for 52 |  |

Wednesday have surely got to be one of the three. That 6-0 gob bumming at Ipswich will take some coming back from I reckon. |  |

And yet they lost 4-0 at Huddersfield in February and since then have had wins against Birmingham, Millwall, Bristol City, Plymouth and Rotherham.
I think it'll be 51 points and we'll be okay if we can win against Birmingham, Sheffield Wednesday (putting more pressure on them) and one of Plymouth, Hull or Preston (think we can also pick up a couple of draws). |  | | |

What are we all thinking now? In theory you could still go down with 52 points, so we still need another win..... |  | | |

The pessimist in me sayswego down on 50 pts with equal goal difference in the team above but on goals scored, such is the craziness of this season |  | | |

I'm sure we won't. However, it's interesting to look at the predictions earlier in this thread vs the reality.

It could go to Cov away mind.... [Post edited 21 Apr 14:24]

And was the Birmingham performance at Rotherham any better? In theory Huddersfield can still survive, so it will be far from a given that Brum avoid defeat.
Personally, I expect Birmingham to win, but it wouldn't be a surprise if they lost. | | | |

Huddersfield, the team with the fewest wins in the division bar Rotherham, who've won 25% fewer games than the next lowest in the wins table. |  |

Congrats to those who said 51...
It was a.mental end to the season. 4 weeks ago I would have said 48 would be enough... | |

If Hull had equalised at Plymouth they would have gone down with 49 points but even so, a very high total to go down with (and no points deductions). |  | | |

Seven of the bottom eight won today, that has to be unprecedented for the last day. | |

But they didn't so Plymouth stay up with 51 and Birmingham are relegated with 50. |  | | |

Yeah that wasn't really the point of my post. Tonto was congratulating those who said 51 points would be needed to stay up but it was very nearly 49 points with a -11 goal difference.
If we had held on for the win at Plymouth we would have finished 14th but we didn't so we finished 18th. | | | |

Won’t happen, they’ve got to play each other plus top sides so will inevitably drop points.
Think 48 will be enough but think we need 50+ just to be sure. |
I was wrong then although in my defence I did say 50+ to be sure!! | | | |

It was 51 points so Tonto was well within his right to congratulate those who predicted it. | | | |

I never said he wasn't within his rights, what are you on about? Plymouth, who would not have relished facing Hull on the last day, would have gone down if they hadn't have won. A draw sees them down on 49 points and a loss with 48 points. I'm sorry these facts offend you but that's your problem. | | | |

No offence taken, Gary, as none of what you’re saying is factual. Your argument is utterly pointless because it's based on hypothetical examples that didn't happen and never will happen. Doubling down on this nonsense is senseless and inane. Ultimately, there is only 1 abiding fact. Birmingham were relegated with 50 points, and Plymouth survived with 51. Consequently, that was the magic number. QED. Prediction competition closed. [Post edited 5 May 1:16]
