Jumping into
SellyOakBlade 's place
We didn't play the sides relegated from last season's Championship (Pompey, Doncaster & Coventry) so SellyOak has taken the points we got from the games against the three promoted sides as last season's scores.
Home: we got 1 point from 3 games (D v Wendy, L v Huddersfield, L v Charlton) hence 0.33 ppg
Away: we got 3 points from 3 games (W v Huddersfield, L v Wendy, L v Charlton) hence 1 ppg
Similarly, the results against the sides relegated to League 2 have been put against the sides promoted from there. Home: we got 10 points from 4 games (W v Rochdale, W v Wycombe, W v Chesterfield, D v Exeter) hence 2.50ppg
Away: we got 7 points from 4 games (W v Rochdale, W v Chesterfield, D v Exeter, L v Wycombe) hence 1.75ppg
Thus by drawing with Doncaster we got 1 point: 0.67pts more than we averaged against the promoted sides last season and the same logic applies to the 2.67pt increase the win against Portsmouth gave.
NB - it's when you look at it like this that you realise (again) just how shit we were against the top teams last season.
