Third best season ever so far...

Incredible really when you think about where we were after Round 10.

Yeah, looking good for 11 pts required from 9 games to get to the target of 34 for the play-offs.

Only twice in 6 seasons have we failed to pick up at least 11 pts in the last 9 games (07/08 & 12/13) and our average for the last 9 games is 13 pts. So based on past history we should now make the play-offs.

However, to get to 4th place is another matter. The average pts required to get to 4th in a 27 game season is 40. That means we would need at least 17 pts from the last 9 games. We've only done that once before (09/10 - 19 pts) so that seems less likely.

4th is a home playoff I take it? 

I can't remember what the new playoffs system is. It always takes me years to adjust to new playoffs, by which time they've usually changed again. 

So first and second gets a bye now? instead of the stupid 2 leg situation they previously had that meant the top 2 basically played each other 3 times in 4 weeks. Like. 

Two team in the top six with a negative GD

If you took out Melbournes two 5-0 rapings, they'd have the tightest defence in the league

Maths fail there JV.

Also if we hadn't conceded any goals we'd have the best defence in the league! :)

still a chance of getting into and staying in the 6, top four is going need other results in our favour.

Didn't even want to post this.  Sad face

Its going to be a real dog fight for top six. Jets winning was a bummer....as was us completely shredding our positive goal difference. Every game now is almost like a Cup tie. We have to make sure we don't drift off the teams who are all on 27 points. A win against CCM would be brilliant.

We still have the 4th best GD in the league, and 3rd= most goals for.

This league is nuts!

I much prefer the alternate League table that is on the A League web site:

That was from before this previous round tho? Drop to 4th after the previous weekends games.

top 4 in striking distance.

what one win away from 3rd?

exactly

Sydney play Newcastle tomorrow so only one of them can overtake us this week. Jets would need a 6-0 win to do that. Sydney would just need to win.  Go the draw

And Adelaide play Melbourne, so they will either both be 2 points ahead of us or one of them will remain one point ahead. It's so tight in the 6!

A big relief to see our goal difference improved somewhat. So many crazy, unpredictable results in the league this season.

It's weird that only 3 teams have a positive goal difference

I'm sure we are plus one in the GD

We certainly are. Maybe someone doesn't want to record Brockie's goal.

A figment of our imaginations!

They update the table during the live match.  weird

Syd beat Jets 2-0

Victory beat Adelaide 4-3

Perth 0  WSW 2
