Quick caveat. I'm a words man, maths isn't my strong suit. My wife has caught me counting on my fingers more than once, much to her merriment.
But.....
I think I've got this right. In terms of qualifying second from our group, losing last night as opposed to drawing actually makes no difference. As it stands, we have to match Vitesse's result in the last game as we both have 7 points. If we had drawn, we'd have 8, but the above would still be true - drawing our last game and Vitesse winning would have seen them comfortably through.
The only difference if we both get the same result is that we'd qualify courtesy of Vauxhall Conference League rule 17-4(c) or whatever it is as opposed to being a point clear.
Of course, if we'd won (Ryan Sessegnon, I'm looking at you), another cockerel would be crowing, as the Spanish saying has it, and clearly, none of the above is in any way an attempt to sugar-coat last night's humiliation.
