Having had an enjoyable day out at the Rotherham game, my thoughts have turned to the new season, and plotting our progress each week against a few targets.
In terms of promotion, Graph 1 shows the Championship points achieved by the Top 3 since 2000, and 92 is still the clear target for Top 2.
Graph 1:
The Playoffs are, of course, a new story this year, as they go down to 8th.
Chart 1 shows the last 10 seasons, and so I am going to use 70 points as our target for getting to the Playoffs.
Chart 1:
So, each week Graph 2 will show my comparisons against those targets, with my line to achieve those targets being based on who we play each week.
Graph 2:
In Graph 3, I will also run a comparison against our last 2 years (hopefully showing that we can match the 24/25 season)!
I’ve used the 92 points achieved for 24/25, without the deduction, as it’s performance that is the comparison.
Graph 3:
Finally, I always show my forecast end of season table – as I use this to plot the target lines for Graph 2 above.
Chart 2:
As you can see, I have us 8th in Chart 2 – with us getting the 70 points needed for the Playoffs.
If Big Harry is confirmed, I would probably push us up to 6th with about 75 points.
Blues will be a tough start on August 15th - I’ll settle for 1-1, and hope for 2-1!
