Doesn't really take into account the usual up turn in form for teams fighting relegation at the end of a season

Or the fact we tend to be **** against them

Or that Nuno will treat every game as though our opponents are Barcelona

Just what football needs, more stats.

You know that scene in Armageddon when Bruce Willis' character is having ago at NASA saying 'You're the guys that're thinking **** up! I'm sure you got a team of men sitting around somewhere right now just thinking **** up and somebody backing them up!'

I feel like there's a room somewhere with people just thinking up new stats for football.

Well its been obvious for months that on paper we have a very easy run in,but matches arent played on paper otherwise we would all have won the pools every week

After our less than stellar performance against Chorley, I take no games for granted.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Our run of fixtures are very favorable which does put into context our current position to an extent

 

[inaglasshouse]

Looking forward to another top half finish. Long live Nuno.

exactly, how many teams will have anything to play for, including us. A place payment boost maybe?

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Because we do well against the so called easier teams don’t we.... lose to West Ham and Fulham we are in trouble all of a sudden......

Straight in with the misery as usual Pagey. You’re just one big Pagey Portent of Doom.

We’re gonna win the lot. COYW!

 

[Stafford]

The 'we don't well against easier teams' is a myth I believe. I haven't got the stats but I imagine the % of our points from lower half teams isn't anything unusual from the past 2 seasons.

Last season we did particularly well against the lower half

 

[Deleted member 8913]

Win all nine 27 points...62 points total and our best finish this century.

Last season

I gave you my heart

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

I gave you my heart

the very next day you gave it away.

 

[goldeneyed]

If you can't score goals it doesn't matter who you are playing. Raul might be back for the last couple of games but until then apart from Neto we are firing blanks if we are relying on Jose/Silva/Traore to provide goals.

 

[Contrarian]

It was the same last season. We had mathematically the easiest run in after lockdown, based on level of opponents. The thing that needs to be factored in is what opponents have to play for, though. You're best bet is to be playing safe mid table teams in your last few matches. Remember Everton at home last season? The relegation scrappers will make life hard, as will those desperate for points to get into Europa/Champions League.

 

[Peszkywolf]

We'll get about 15 points..... where will that leave us??

 

[Oliwolf44]

Just glad we saved our easy games for when we have nothing left to play for.

Id like another 5 points on the board before we have nothing to play for,but yeah realistically we should be looking at 50 points by season end,and around 10th,11th spot, whether we do that remains to be seen

53 points first season, 54 last season so if we could get over 50 again in what some think has been a disastrous season, id be happy with that.

Wasnt it 57 and 59 points first two seasons?
Anyway still a decent season if we get around 50 all things considered

Sorry you were right. I know I use 50 points as the benchmark because all the years Tesco Town were the self appointed best team in the midlands with their 8 season in a row in the EPL, they never got 50 points.
