As it would have been the last game of the season today. When that final whistle blew, what position do you genuinely think we'd have finished in?

I'm fairly confident we'd have got what we needed to finish top

I was scared of Oxford and then they lost about 5 in a row in the middle of a great run. Pompey won 9 in a row before we halted them. Sunderland were flying until we shut them up. We would have won the league I'm certain, maybe we still will

I have a feeling teams that have got nothing to play for will just play kids, which will help teams out.
I’m also worried about the effect the long break will of had, be like a new season getting feelers for everything again, no way everyone is going to be in the same stride as before the stoppage

That's why I don't accept the point about integrity. The 34 games we've played is the nearest we'll get to a 'proper' season. If it resumes after a huge break with different players and teams not really bothering I just don't see how that is any better.

Made me laugh when everyone was going on about there always being a team that broke away from the pack so we had to be careful. Oxford, Portsmouth and Peterborough all mentioned. Turned out it was us.
Yeah we'd turned into a proper Sheffield Utd model of promotion.

That has us averaging 1.1 point a game for the rest of the season.

Our current average is 2, last 6 games is 2.7 points, last 8 is 2.75, last 10 is 2.6.

Would need a spectacular collapse in form.
Perhaps they had Mowbray still as our manager

We would have won the league at a canter, Godden was in the best form of the season, Dabo was like a man possessed down the right flank, Walsh is one of the best passers of the ball I've seen in sky blue for years, O'Hare is one of the hardest working midfielders around, the back 3 and Marosi were nigh on impregnable, we had better players on the bench than most had playing in their first team, we were pulling clear and the gap would have kept growing.

11 points from 10 games

lose 3-1 to Wimbledon last game of the season what a stupid drivel article

Spot on. How many times have we concede 3 in the league this season? Only twice , both away to promotion rivals.
Wimbledon have scored 3 only twice, Rochdale and Southend.
How can you come up with 3-1 to them? Nonsense.

They must have run the simulation on Richard Keys’ laptop.

Same as the bookies.

We would have gained promotion 1st or 2nd - most likely have won the league as we were the most consistent and loked the best team - This is allso backed up by the fact that the last 5 years the team that was top at approx the same number of games 34/35 early march gained promotion

The massive flaw in this has been highighted by their own article. A computer system that can't do basic maths.
Their write-up has us losing at home to Oxford and losing away at Wimbledon. They then state that our sole win is against Burton. That leaves 7 games, and it's not possible to get 8 points from 7 games without winning at least one of them.
Either their computer needs replacing, or more likely it was all made up by someone as click-bait.

Perhaps they needed an outcome that give the story some interest?

What might give this story legs and make Sky Sports seem relevant when there’s no football to watch. The Prem is a certainty. We couldn’t get away with suggesting that Leeds fail to win The Chanpionship, How about a really tight finish in a league with stiff competition but drawing back the league leaders by making them lose almost all of their remaining games despite their track record in the season so far (outgunning the AI in the fm game which has them aiming for the playoffs)?

With the head of steam we had undoubtedly built up I honestly believe the league would have already
Been Secured , so today I think top with a healthy lead ‘maybe 7 - 10 points.
