With it being another two game weekend for the European qualified clubs there is a real chance to put 6 points on the board and shoot up the table or in Rovers case hopefully go 8 to 10 points clear with two wins depending on other results
Bohs on a mathematical basis are closest chalengers and will fancy getting 3 points in Cork although i feel Cork are due a result against someone.
Id be happy with 4 points for Rovers off two tough away games. Shels really cany afford to lose to us on Friday as they would be 12 points behind and i think that is an unrealistic gap for them to make up.
We could really put a marker down with 6 points.
Derry also in need of the 3 points against Galway.
Sligo need to be beating Waterford to keep them at least theoretically hoping to avoid a playoff and scramble up to 8th place. a win for Waterford puts them 14 points clear and out of reach, a win for Sligo and its 8 points.....not insurmountable if a bit unlikely

Is there another basis for league standings?

You got me there
Maybe i should have elaborated further about my lack of conviction that all the late winners can go on forever, Dogs that chase cars etc etc.
But you are there and that is a fact

Ah, I knew what you meant!
I agree can`t really continue without a proven goalscorer. Mind you, other than Rovers, the other teams look pretty crap, to be honest.

First game in a while i have been nervous about, could be a season defiining weekend with 6 points or an indication of another slog of a year

Pats are now 20 competitive games and over a year unbeaten at Richmond Park since losing 3-2 to Dundalk on the 3rd of June last year, winning 15, drawing 5. A stat that should help with the confidence heading into a double weekend of home games, but it absolutely does not. The opposite in fact. Football eh?
