[Wilmslow Alty]

Lots of people are saying Cambridge need to hammer us to win the league on Sunday but they don't actually need too many goals. Promotion is decided 1st on points; 2nd goal difference; 3rd goals scored. Obviously Cambridge need to win and Burton need to lose for Cambridge to go up. As Cambridge have scored far fewer goals than Burton they also need to make sure they have a better goal difference.

Burton's goal difference is 30, Cambridge's is 26 so:

If Burton lose by:	Cambridge need to win by:
1 goal	4 goals
2 goals	3 goals
3 goals	2 goals
4 goals	1 goal

The middle two aren't too inconceivable. Course, since we're going to win and Burton are going to draw, this is all academic

that's the point I have been trying to make at work.  This isn't a done deal for the burton bottlers.

As we're going to win anyway it'll mean nothing...but...if there are any lost burton fans reading this...how're your nerves?
