Blackburn - 3pts ....................................... 9 pts Was in process of compiling same, but last 10 coincided with LM [ similar table ] so modified mine to suit 6 games. its on points so positions are for points not for teams!! ... EG Cardiff were 15th best NOT 18th! Bristol city drop from 4th to 10th best. note .. you can make "stats do what you determine them to be" so whether last 6 or 10 or 15 they are all relative. Always good to have a comparison!
Despite the stats, I like the fact that we still seem to be “under the radar” and no one is really bigging us up. I’ve no doubt the Brum result will have helped as far as this is concerned. I’m now back into the frame of mind that on our day, we can beat anyone in this Division - and that includes Leicester!!
WORKING on the theory of 2 [ EVEN 3 ] games , 6 pts being do able to move up [ down ] the table in the matter of 3 /4 games [ BCFC the focal point ] it is amazing to see 11 teams separated by 6 pts [ 9 pts its 17 ! ]. OF COURSE if you beat teams above you the path is easier! HOWEVER a run against bottom teams of say 3 [ or 4 ] wins will move you up nicely! On the radar? WELL can work both ways... oppo's will think along lines we need to watch out or we need to close the door! it might disrupt their way of playing knowing it is a "inform/ above average game! it could of course disrupt us by them playing differentto what was expected .............
I still think we’re a fair distance behind the Leicesters, Leeds, Southamptons and co without new additions to the squad
SHOULD WE BY SOME MIRACLE get to be top 6 we will need to get past Ipswich Leeds and 1 other who make it besides us getting to the point where top 2 or 3 are certainties
And Manning honeymoon has come to a end-Nige never got boos like today. Step up and sort the **** show out -LJ football in disguise.
Well no signings in as yet-I truly thought they had players lined up clearly not. I do wonder if we have stepped out of the frying pan and gone straight into the fire.
If we hadn’t improved massively after that though Nige would have been out the door. I’m not suggesting LM should go, but your comparison isn’t really valid.
It is valid, I’m not talking about what happened after. Just saying that Nige did get booed as well. Yesterday was awful and did deserve to be booed. But let’s put some perspective onto it, until Thursday some fans was talking about play offs here we come, and the football is the best we’ve seen. This league is relentless and looking at the gap Ipswich had on Southampton shows it’s a very up and down league. Sheff Wednesday beat Hull yesterday shows no games are a gimme.
in CLOSE SEASON SW made their purchases and sales combining them and gelling has taken longer their last games 5, better than 5 of top 7 teams!
