So, if you aren't aware, we've hit the woodwork a league leading 26 times. I wanted to look at what would be different if we had a genie on our side, and every single one of those shots went in. Just to clarify, the genie was a nose, so this didn't work for teams against us.

Here's what I found...

• 18 games had their outcome changed
• Half of those games only had the score changed, the result (W, D, L stayed the same)
• No losses became wins
• 7 draws became wins
• 4 losses became draws

So how does that change the table? Well, there's some pretty big implications...

Position	Team	GD	Points
1	Coventry	48	92
2	Birmingham	25	81
3	Millwall	13	80
4	Middlesbrough	25	79
5	Ipswich	28	77
6	Southampton	21	75
7	Hull	3	70
8	Wrexham	4	70
9	Derby	7	68
10	Norwich	7	65
11	Swansea	-4	61
12	Preston	-7	60
13	Bristol City	-4	59
14	QPR	-10	58
15	Watford	-9	57
16	Sheff Utd	-5	56
17	Stoke	-4	54
18	Portsmouth	-15	54
19	Charlton	-14	52
20	Blackburn	-14	51
21	West Brom	-10	50
22	Oxford	-13	47
23	Leicester	-12	43
24	Sheff Weds	-61	-3

So, in this fantastic world, we're going into the final day of the season against Portsmouth hoping for a win that would keep us in the automatic spots and out of reach of Ipswich, who have taken a significant hit to their promotion chances, having seen their opening day draw against us turn into a loss, and their recent win over us become a draw. West Brom now head into the final day under the threat of relegation, by virtue of their recent draw becoming a loss.

What a shame, eh?
