Still on course

Recommended Posts

We are exactly where we should be (points-wise) if we are aiming for 39 points. Remember we’ve had some tough fixtures to start with and despite terrible injury luck have kept pace.

What are they basing the points column on? Expected points from the matches played?

Yes. Split the 39 points across the fixtures based on difficulty.

Yes using the Fixture difficulty index they split the 39 points.

The next question is what do they base difficulty on? Everton, for example, are currently in the relegation zone but I'd still class that as a tricky fixture. Or do they base it on pre-season predictions? Maybe a match-by-match basis?

👍🏻 yep

A bit O/T I know... Just had to ask!

Great band. Hadn't listened to them in ages but saw them a few years back in Cambridge. Actually... Think I've seen them twice. Put on some tracks the other week and proper got into them again.

I saw them a fair while ago now, they have such a variety in their style over the years it is worth multiple attendance.

Reality 1 - getting 39 points is fine as long as 3 teams get less.

Reality 2 - we are currently in 19th position because there is only one team with less points than us and only one team with a worse GD than us.

Reality 3 - the way we are playing the only thing we are "on course" for at the moment is relegation.
