It was the last six games when we were averaging the same points as a winner in the league 13 from 6 matches wasn’t it which was a Mowbray like league finish - if we’d average our points tally without that it would have gone to the last game or two
Yes we were 2nd in the last 6 form table taking 13 points, but you have to take into consideration what happens in the final few games - most of the time - when teams have less to play for.
In those same 6 games
Wycombe were 9th with 10 points
Birmingham 11th with 10 points
Sheff W 16th with 6 points
By contrast
Norwich 8th, Barnsley 10th, Bournemouth 12th, Swansea 14th.
I know that's being selective to some extent but 8 points from those games would still have seen us finish on 50 points, well clear of relegation.
