Compared to Last Season (2016-2017)

Ahem ...This thread is picking up a bit

 

We lost 0-3 at home to Arsenal last season, so in terms of this thread nothing to lose, everything to gain

 

ahem ....up and down like a yoyo thread

 

Well today we gained 3 pts compared with last season

 

It is with some relief that I can now get this thread back on track! A couple of weeks ago we were hurtling to the Championship under the watchful eye of Bob Bradley. His sacking and the arrival of Paul Clement, along with two new signings has seen the Swans pick up two wins and climb out of the relegation zone, where we'll stay until at least the next home match on January 31st.

The negative pressure associated with being in the bottom 3 has now been lifted and there is renewed hope for the team and fans at last.

Last Seasons Points Total - 47pts. Compared to last season we are currently on schedule for 37pts (If we get the same results in the remaining corresponding games.)

Last seasons points per game ratio: 1.24. This seasons points per games ratio: 0.82: This seasons points prediction based on current points per game ratio: 31

NEXT FIXTURE: Southampton (H).
LAST SEASONS RESULT: Swans 0 Southampton 1

* Burnley replaced Newcastle

Swans Premier League Points & Positions
2011/12 - 47pts (11th)
2012/13 – 46pts (9th)
2013/14 – 42pts (12th)
2014/15 – 56pts (8th)
2015/16 – 47pts (12th)

 

Well at least we're on schedule for 30-something points now. Things seem to be on the up!

 

We could see a very low point total for 18th place this season... a sub 30 point 18th place finisher would be great ...as long as it wasn't us

 

Three wins from four and suddenly the whole landscape is changing, apart from the one that really matters – we are just two points off the relegation zone. We could well drop back into it over the course of the next three games, but after that, if we match last seasons results we should start climbing the table to a respectable position.

What a difference a month can make ....

 

We could be in 15th place by the end of business tomorrow ..... I would have bet my house a month ago that after the Man City game we would be in 20th . Bless the Americans on recognizing the error, early enough , of hiring Bradley and for bringing Clement in .

 

A heartbreaking last minute defeat saw a point snatched from us, but overall we can take heart that after 95 minutes we were still in the game. That is something that we could only have dreamt of just a few short weeks ago.
Next weeks battle is at home against Leicester – and it will be a battle as the East Midlands outfit face the embarrassment of tasting relegation a year after lifting the PL trophy. It’s all to play for

So getting anything against Leicester next week would be an improvement on last year.

We need to get all 3!

Leicester haven't won away all season - we've got to ensure that statistic remains intact come full time next Sunday.

 

If ever there was a jinx that's it! I hope I'm not having words with you next Sunday at 6pm

 

We will still be friends!

 

Not if we lose

 

I will stay off the Not606 site......

 

You can't, you're the only sane one on here

 

God help the rest of you if that's the case.....

 

God help us everyone if Taff is the benchmark for sanity folks .

 

I think it was a close call between me and Dai.......
