BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted December 8, 2006 We have now garnered 17 points from 10 matches under PG, an average of 1.70 pts per match. Thus, maintaining this form for the remaining 25 matches would produce an additional 42.5 pts. Adding these to the current 29 pts would give us an end of season total of 71.5 pts. If we win on Saturday, we shall have 20 pts from 11 matches under PG for an average of 1.82 pts per match. At this rate we would get a further 43.68 pts from the remaining 24 matches resulting in a final total of 72.68 pts. Over the past 6 seasons the 6th placed club finished with the following points totals:2005-06 Crystal Palace 752004-05 West ham 732003-04 Crystal Palace 732002-03 Notts Forest 742001-02 Norwich City 752000-01 WBA 74Thus, the chances are that maintaining the form produced under PG so far will see us falling just short of the last play-off place. A little further improvement would at least get us to the play-offs for an exciting end of season.I think the vast majority of us would settle for the play-offs this season - all things considered.Good luck Peter.OTBC.

[/quote] Sorry, you''ve got your figures wrong there. Yesterday was Grant''s 11th league game in charge. Making it 17 points from 11 games. That''s an average of 1.54 points per game. Based on this average, our final points tally would be about 66 points. Well outside the play-offs.Reality bites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s not the first time an old post has been dragged to the top of the page by another poster, and I have mistaken it for a new debate!But I suppose what the ever-changing stats do show, is how inconsistent the City team are. In the space of 24 hours our points average has gone from possible play-off contenders, to mid-table also-rans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardhouse44 261 Posted December 10, 2006 This is the most ridiculous post I have ever read I think. You use an average system to tell us that if we perform above that we will succeed. Utter madness. Hey I''ve got one, if we win every game from now on we will get promoted. Who feels happier now. We I’m just off to punch Rodney on the nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huddy 0 Posted December 10, 2006 My positive outlook is that if he didn''t know already he know definately does know that alot of so called top 16 players aren''t good enough, thus enforcing both PG''s and Delia and co''s thoughts that we must sign new players.

But what you showed us was not fact. It was a mean average based on past performances. Which have just been made worse by our result on Saturday. Still if you want to call them facts that’s fine by me. The fact is your facts say we are going to miss out on a playoff place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macdougalls perm 0 Posted December 11, 2006 HH44,As far as I can remember, mean averages are still in the category of calculations widely regarded (rightly or wrongly) by statisticians to represent facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardhouse44 261 Posted December 11, 2006 Thats fine but your missing the point. The stats, facts or averages, call them what you will, that BBB posted show that we WILL NOT make the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macdougalls perm 0 Posted December 11, 2006 I am not missing the point, I have not said that we will make the play offs, I am just correcting the part where you say that what BBB has shown us are not facts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
