8 points better off (7 Viewers)

[Saddlebrains]

I must say I was shocked when I saw that on Twitter, We're only 8 points better off than the same stage last year?

Not that much really considering the start we had, is it?



Anyone else slightly shocked by that?

Been following the downward trend for a while on that graph.

We are heading for a similar points total to last season.

Its Mad. I mean i know we've been on a gash run but didn't realise just how gash

 

[edgy]

We've took 14 points from a possible 36, since the start of November.

I mean, it's turning four defeats into two wins and two draws. Having played 25 games, it means we've improved 15-20% of our results from last season.

Progression.

I'm not knocking it, of course, we've progressed, I was just taken aback that we arent as far ahead of last season as we all thought

I get that, but that % of progression is depleting with every game.

 

[rexo87]

Quick calculation so could be slightly off. We only took 6 points from the next 9 games last season and 10 out of 13. Our next 10 or so games after the next 2 are fairly easy so i would expect the 8 point gap from last season to grow quite significantly

It was rapid progression in the first 12 games followed by is instantly regressing to where we were last year for the following 12.

We're only 6 points off 17th......

With a game in hand on 17th and two games in hand on everyone else. Positive vibes only.

What’s the home/away breakdown?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It was only about three weeks ago that people were starting threads saying how well us and Robins were doing.

´Yeah but we beat Fulham 4-1.´

We have been shite for ages. Again, only 4 goals from midfield all season, two of which have come in the last two games.

 

[chiefdave]

We're only halfway through the season so if you average that out over a whole season that would have been finishing 7th last year. Of course that relies on the second half of the season being similar to the first which is far from guaranteed, not least as we don't know the position we'll be in at the end of the transfer window.

Interestingly Bournemouth have faired even worse than us since October.

 

[djr8369]

I think once we get a win at home confidence will be restored and we might have another little run. Last two games the performances have been a lot better and still a few players to return from injury.

No not really. We had a good run Nov/December last year went on 6 game unbeaten run which more than what we have done this season. And topped that off with some good results in January notably Millwall away.

The goal difference is about +15/20 better id imagine.

Come back to this in 5 to 6 weeks and the gap will be back to at least 15/20 points.

 

[Evo1883]

I think another difference is the quality of our performances against teams .. we just look a much better side , we can spin this though as it took us I believe 36/7 games to get 38 points last season , we are miles ahead

Ridiculous to think we are unbeaten away since Preston mid October. 2 wins and 4 draws. When at the time our home form was incredible and our away form horrendous. Flipped over a bit.

 

[joemercersaces]

Finishing isn’t it. We absolutely battered Blues, Huddersfield and QPR for example and came away with 2 points where we should have had 9

I'm not worried as we look to be getting near our A game just need to sharpen up in the penalty boxes.

We need someone to save us...

FIne margins though, isn't it. We've drawn more games than we've lost and our defeats have all only been by 1 goal. Not as if we're getting turned over.

Things do need to improve and we need to stop the slide but every team goes through a blip. We're good enough to come out of this blip and start heading North again in the table.

I'd like to see a return to Waghorn and Gyo upfront together for the next few games. Not got the stats to back this up but just seemed like Gyo was more succesful when playing with Waghorn. Now they're back from injury, hopefully we'll be ok again.

Our midfield does need to get more goals, but the midfield and the defence combined (including the wing backs) have 11, which is one third of our goals. Considering we have (had) 4 strikers all weighing in with goals that sounds about the right ratio to me.

It is nowhere near enough mate.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

This is the Championship ‘attacking midfielder’ by goals



And ‘midfielder’

 

[skybluesam66]

10 extra points last season would have put us 10th
16 extra points would have put us 7th

so 8 may not seem a lot - but keep going and maybe not the play offs, but can still be a very good season

 

[Godiva]

This is from november:

We have won most of our games at home to bottom half teams. What happens when we meet them away?
So far the 'fluke' is the trashing of Fullham. Apart from that, we don't really look like we belong in the top 6.

Since then we have only managed to beat Peterborough.

We are not a top 6 team. It will take a few seasons to get there.

I think we’ve progressed quite a bit. This time last season we had taken 38.6% of points available. Presently we have 49.3% of points available. I accept we are on quite a downward trend but well ahead of last year presently.
To put it in prospective if we carry on at the same percentage rate we will get 68 points, far more than I expected at the start of the season.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

It is nowhere near enough mate.

Blackburn - 47 goals / Brereton 20 goals + Gallagher 6 goals + Proveda 1 goal = 57% goal by strikers

Fulham - 73 goals / Mitrovic 27 goals + Reid 3 goals + Cavaleiro 2 goals + Muniz 4 goals = 49%

Bournemouth - 43 goals / Solanke 18 goals + Lowe 2 + Rodgers 1 + Anthony 6 = 63% goals by strikers

I disagree, of course I'd like our midfield to chip in a bit more but our ratio isnt that far off the top 3.

My point is entirely about the midfield.

Not sure what you are going on about to be honest.
