HARE BY JOSH CHALLIES, JAK BALL 17:26, 26 FEB 2019 A super computer has predicted the fate of League One clubs With the majority of clubs in League One having just 12 games to go this season, the conclusion of another frantic campaign is rapidly approaching - and every point picked up from this stage could be decisive. Luton Town have opened up a five-point lead over second-placed Barnsley as they chase a return to the Championship for the first time in over a decade but the likes of Sunderland and Portsmouth could still have a say in things. However, FootballWebPages are expecting no change from the top two - with Sunderland missing out on an immediate return to the Championship by just two points, meaning Jack Ross’ side will have to settle for a spot in the playoffs.

The Black Cats and Portsmouth are predicted to be joined in the playoffs by Charlton Athletic and Doncaster Rovers, with the latter tipped to finish a comfortable nine points ahead of Fleetwood Town. Meanwhile, the bottom of the standings have AFC Wimbledon, Bradford City and Rochdale condemned to relegation but there is big changes ahead of them as Bristol Rovers are tipped to escape from the threat of relegation. Rovers are predicted to finish four points ahead of safety and Walsall, currently in 18th position and four points above the drop zone, are condemned to relegation to League Two. Predicted League One table Luton Town - 99 points Barnsley - 97 points Sunderland - 95 points Portsmouth - 84 points Charlton Athletic - 84 points Doncaster Rovers - 80 points Fleetwood Town - 71 points Peterborough United - 69 points Blackpool - 67 points Coventry City - 62 points Southend United - 56 points Burton Albion - 56 points Wycombe Wanderers - 56 points Shrewsbury Town - 55 points Accrington Stanley - 55 points Oxford United - 52 points Gillingham - 52 points Plymouth Argyle - 51 points Scunthorpe United - 49 points Bristol Rovers - 46 points Bradford City - 41 points Walsall - 40 points Rochdale - 40 points AFC Wimbledon - 33 points
There is no way 95 points would finish third. All the clubs will have a poor result or two. The super computer isn’t that super.
I think you're probably right. The blunts once finished third with 90 points but even that was an incredibly high points total for a team who finished outside the top two.
