Interesting that we hit the predicted points total exactly.

Yes, well, maybe if the Author of the Graph had put, ya know, a fiddle factor in, and nudged the prediction line up a little

We may be in the playoffs today ...................................

I blame the Graph

:( Seriously, in the absence of Jonathan Cainer, it's an Excel spreadsheet where the 'prediction' adjusts itself on a game by game basis:

=SUM(C3/A3*46)

where C3 contains the latest points total divided A3 which is the corresponding match number multiplied by 46 which is the total number of matches in a season.

I must admit, the prediction line (the orange dotted one) is adjusted 'by hand' as I've not sussed out how to do it automatically. Yet.

Hand job? = wanker :D
 
Bump.

Is it too early for graphs? :)

A lost all faith n dint follow last year but am up for it dis year grafikhaus.

Having drawn away against all of the promoted teams we are -1 in the alternative compared to last season measure.
 
We beat Morecambe 1-0.a year ago, thanks to a late Neill Collins winner (remember him!). We are going backwards then, at least we were still in the League Cup!
 
Time for a visual? grafikhaus

Impatient bugger! Exactly the same position as last season, but I think most of us can see that this season will pan out differently...

Maybe this looks better?

Ten games in and definite signs of progress. Not the best game last night, but it was one we'd have (probably) lost last season under Adkins (the poor mans Allardyce...)

We would of lost that game 3-1 last night no doubt about it. Long or Howard concede that free kick they had in the first half, then we'd ship two as we desperately tried to get the game back.

Ten games in and at the same stage as we were last season, even more reason to remain grounded imo. Tough game on Saturday and one I'm not confident about.
 
on last 6 form we should finish on 102 points

who thinks Bury will stay the course
will Scunthorpe have the depth to cover injuries and suspensions

citing innit
The thing that seems different this season is the way we are going about playing our games. Unlike recent seasons we seem to have a much more passionate and determined approach. I think that as some have said already that we arent yet the finished article and with a few more players to come back and some strengthening in January when we are really in with a chance (unlike last couple of years when we were miles behind in points and performance) we can definitely be optimistic about the season
 
1 point better than last season and a goal difference 2 worse. However, this year we do not have to worry about the Hammond factor. His signing in late October coincided with a run of 6 points from 7 games whilst we allowed him to "get fit" in our centre midfield. A run we never recovered from.

Indeed we got 24 points from next 21 games, so good enough to stay up, but not much more. We were 6th when he arrived.

Not the greatest piece of business ever don e by this club, indeed it has to be one of the worst deals ever considering we paid him 2 years wages to play 20 odd games in which he made significantly worse

Very good spot. Hammond's first game for us was Game 14, a 3-0 win at home to Fleetwood. After that, as you say, our form was patchy at best. Strangely for a player clearly not capable of playing a full 90 minutes, Hammond was never used as a sub - a late 'impact' player whose skills the rest of us couldn't see. Instead, he started exactly 30 games. As I say, strange. Or should this be in the Sam Allardyce thread?
 
There are a few things to me that make a promotion and relegation team. Typically a promotion scores for fun. Typically a relegation team can't score.
Interestingly we've only scored 14 goals which has already been bettered by 12 teams already! ( half the league) So on that basis ATM we've a long way to get to being a promo side.
 
a tad negative don't you think? On a decent run but yet you dig deep for something negative to say. It kills me saying it but just take a look at the 11/12 season scoring the most isn't always the case (especially 11 games in)

Yes we're not the finished article yet but we're improving and getting harder to beat which is already an improvement on last season.

Keep the faith UTB!!
 
I normally find that if yoiu score a least one more goal than the opposition in any one game that you, more often than not, come out to win the match.

We're 4th in league, so how we can be a long way off being a team in with a chance of promotion?!
