    Three of the eleven teams they played could potentially have got up to 9th if they'd beaten Brighton, the rest couldn't get past 12th.

    Cardiff could have got up to 6th if they'd beaten them and we'd beaten them, we'd now be top of the league.

    My point is, until the last game of the season has been played the league table isnt an accurate representation of the strength of the teams in that division.

    I'd say it was a fairly accurate indicator 1/2 or 2/3's of the way through it.

    We're over a quarter into the season. It's not a certainty but I'd wager

    the 2 autos will go to teams in the current top 10
    the 3 relegation slots will be between teams currently 11th-24th

    If that's not an indication of the strength of teams after 12 games then nothing is...

    I would say the league table is the only way of indicating how teams in a division are doing.

    Given we've had one of the best starts in years, and some are still moaning, I guess not everyone agrees.

    We got the 3 points. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    It has been a good week so far for the Tigers. Only Brighton, Birmingham and Cardiff won.

    Reading, Burnley, Derby and the Wendies only draw and Middlesboro Lost. <laugh>

    Very true. So far I have seen nothing to worry about from Derby. If Cory Evans had not fluffed a good chance last night then Derby would have lost @ Blackburn.

    IMO, the league table can only be taken seriously at the half-way point (23 games in / after Burnley @ home).

    Ok maybe after our new years day game @ the dramas. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    that sounds like it assumes consistent strength throughout the season.
