Last season about this time the bottom 8 teams were:- 17 Oldham Athletic......13 .....4 4 5 14 14 .-.. 0 16 ......14 18 Leyton Orient ........14......5 1 8 11 17 ..-. -6 16 ......13 19 Bournemouth ........14 ....3 6 5 20 25 .-.. -5 15 ......12 20 Shrewsbury Town..14.....3 4 7 14 18 .-.. -4 13 ......12 21 Coventry City .......14.... 2 5 7 14 22 .-.. -8 11 .......12 22 S****horpe Unite..14.....2 4 8 11 24 ..-. -13 10 ......12 23 Bury ...................14.. . 1 5 8 14 26 .-.. -12 8 .......10 24 Hartlepool United .14..... 1 4 9 11 24 ..-. -13 7 .......9 from 13 games plyd 13 1 6 6 20 26 -6 pts 9 and where are Bournemouth now??? Bournemouth GF 20 GA 25 LOOK AT THIS TABLE AFTER CITY have played Sat ! the red figures are this season points attained
.. ..exactly with a game in hand we are only 13 points away from 6th place but teams like Brad (-2pts), Brent (-3 pts ), Walsall, Swindles (-3 pts ), PVale (-2 pts ) Rothers, MK (-2 pts ) , Crawley need to give us hand, so far against these we have dropped 12 points and just 1 more goal in each game would have seen us 8 points higher! Coventry I think will be top 4 without a doubt L Orient top 6... although top 3 are already 2 wins and a draw better than 4th
Wiz there is nothing confusing, it is "simples logic" .. comparison of previous states of play, last 5 or more seasons! whether COMPARING top 8 bottom 8 or even top 12 bottom 12 they have trends. The season before last we were unlikely to get relegated as at most bench marks chosen ( do this randomly) we had the trends on our side, however last season from Christmas onward we were always in a trend to say "hello Div1 we are BCFC" position, reasons were.....teams we had to play, and other teams playing each other were against us. With so much negativity and lack of support for SOD pre Carlisle it is good to see that has diminished...and your item BOTTOM is frustrating as without playing and winning our last game we find ourselves propping up again, but with a game in hand. The teams nearest the top, those listed, have our points dropped, that's 12, had we beaten Bradford, that is scored once more we would be 2 points higher and Bradford 1 point lower etc etc etc. We definitely need to maximise points from Walsall Rotherham and Crawley when we play them, draws being the worst we want. BOTTOM LINE IS we are bottom but there doors to be opened in our favour during the next 5 or 6 fixtures.
