[Sothall_Blade]

One win, three draws, five defeats. 6 points out of 27. I had no idea it was that bad:-

Or on the positive side, we have the 5th best record in the country on boxing day.

Some people wouldnt be happy if we beat a combined 11 of real barca man city and chelsea 16-1 in the best team ever final

They would moan about the 1

It makes not a sod of difference. The events aren't linked in any way. What's happened in the past is in the past.

When that Journo say's 'very ordinary' he is being kind.
The Boxing day record is atrocious!

To misquote Roy Wood, I Wish It Could Be Boxing Day Every Day.

What a poor article , some clubs have had more games included in the survey than others , giving a false reading of Local comparative performance stats , crap cheap journalists .

As pointed out above:

1) it depends on your sample - looking over all history we're fifth best in the whole league (article in the Star on Christmas Eve I think). How to Lie With Statistics

2) I can't see how these stats have any predictive value (often think the same about club v club records)

 

[DazBlade88]

They're irrelevant in terms of having an effect on the outcome, I just find it quite interesting.

It was Longs fault

 

[blade too long]

1 in in last 10 boxing days , due a win then

In a pioneering season of firsts eg victories v the Mighty Fleetwood and at Scunthorpe Away , the first since dinosaurs.toamed the Earth, who knows what unprecedented events might occur...

 

[zablade]

Doesn't look like we are going be losing this Boxing Day anyway...

Surprised your surprised tbh. We always do crap over the Christmas period, at least that's how it's always seemed to me.

Only because he didn't do what Collins told him.
