    Today's win coupled with the two points dropped by Gillingham sees the 'R' number reduced to 10.
    Are you going to serve up this tripe after every match? The team finishing 21st will not get 46 points.
    I agree with you.

    What will they get?

    More than a bit harsh.

    By its very nature this is one of those 'what you see is what you get' threads. I hope he keeps going and isn't put off.

    Conversely, the teams in the play offs could need more than 75 points. I reckon 6th might even need 78 points.

    Shows what we all assumed from the start. Top teams have improved and the weaker teams are much worse. Crewe would need to 5 of their last 8 to reach Bristol Rovers points total from last season who finished bottom. Embarrassing that we lost to them.

    For those who enjoy a healthy dose of tripe, please note that today's 18-0 1-0 win at Doncaster sees the 'R number' reduced from 10 to six.

    This is in part due to AFC Wimbledon now replacing Gillingham as the 'critical team'.

    Really disappointing. It's last chance saloon for clinging on to our faint hope of being relegated.

    Come on lads, we can still do it .... but we all need to pull together.

    With apologies for the late dose of tripe (we've been up North for a wedding), the R number is now down to 4 and Gillingham are back as the 'critical team'.

    R plummets to 3.

    R is now well and truly equal to zero.  We are mathematically safe.

    This thread now ends until we flirt with relegation from the Premier League.

    Relegation? ...... Epic fail.

    Can imagine Big Sam wearing an anorak with a Charlton badge on it.

    The R number is zero? Excellent. Does that mean we're now Covid free?
