Jersey Canary 180 Posted August 10, 2021 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58148143 A very interesting article. We’ve got our work cut out to get to 11 points from the first 10 games to have a very good chance of survival with the start that we have but you never know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted August 10, 2021 I read through that with interest. BUT: with only twenty teams in the PL now comparisons with past statistics make less sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,745 Posted August 10, 2021 Thank you for this - very interesting. Looking at our start and our covid disrupted pre-season, I would settle for 8 to 10 points which would give us a 53% chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted August 10, 2021 If we get 11 points from every ten games then I think we will survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The PL was reduced to 20 teams in 1995 and the stats for newly promoted teams is from the last 20 seasons so they are still valid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted August 10, 2021 Quite, but I said "Less sense," and a lot of those stats are from pre-1995, as I suppose are the quotes from Shankley and Ferguson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
