Tough league..

Recommended Posts

Not wanting to state the obvious but I have had a look at the numbers required to be promoted from the championship from the past 10 seasons..

1st place only requires an average of 1.73 goals per game..80 goals over 46 games is the average required, to finish second, only 1.58 per game, 73 from the 46 games!

I was surprised that both figures were quite low.

Points though was a different matter altogether.

1st place needs the age old stat of exactly 2 per game and 2nd 1.86 per game!

All very boring I hear you say, but my point is that already with only 45 games to for us we now require 2.04 points per game to finish first and 1.77 goals per game..

History tells us that slow starts very rarely result in promotion..just frustration

So points per game is more important than goals scored per game?Wow.You''ve just totally redefined football for me.I might have to go and lie down and think about that one.

[quote user="Monty burns"]History tells us that slow starts very rarely result in promotion..just frustration[/quote]We failed to win the first game of any of our last three promotion seasons, so not sure how valid your comment there is.I''m not sure how valid the majority of the whinging being done by some on this forum is, for that matter.

Monty, I get what you are trying to say, and is interesting at this moment in time, but please promise that you are not going to do this after every game for the next 44 games?

Hope this helps.

So we can afford to lose the first 15 as long as we win the rest?
