Still top of the league. 2 closely-fought away wins in 4 days, with 3 goals created and scored by 2 young starlets and our 3 most expensive players.
Usual graphical maps of progress below. The Rotherham game is now in its rearranged spot.
Graph 1 is the usual comparison to last year - 23 points compared to Slav's 12 points after 10 games'
Graph 2, comparing to last year's league position, really emphasizes our change - this was when Slavball really imploded.
Graph 3 is the usual comparison to my benchmark results to achieve Playoffs and Autos - we are now 3 points ahead of my Autos line (Remember that my benchmark lines for promotion are based on who we are facing in the actual games, not on a general statistical average - that is why they are not straight lines).
Graph 4 is a comparison with our last 2 (Wilder) promotion seasons. I posted an expanded view of this graph last night to emphasize the difference, and I have taken a bit of private stick from people thinking that I am implying that Hecky is better than Wilder. The point is that these are our 2 most recent promotion seasons, and so it's easy to relate to how we were feeling at the same time in those successful years. I have now renamed it Comparison to Wilder's Promotions, rather than to Wilder!
You can see that on 23 points after 10 games we are 6 points ahead of the 17 that we had in Wilder's 100 point League 1 promotion season in 16/17 (still on for 106 points this season then!) and 4 points ahead of the 19 in his 18/19 Championship promotion season.
Picture 5 is the current League Table with results - I just like looking at it. It's interesting that the teams that we have played in our away games are all generally below those for our home games in the table. I guess that suggests that we have some tougher away games to play but that our current home form (all wins) is even better than it seems.
I do have an alternative performance-based table which suggests that West Brom, Boro and Rotherham are artificially low in the table and Reading, Blackburn, Watford and Millwall are artificially high - so we will see how things change. Blades and Norwich are 1 and 2 however I look at it though!
Another night when I enjoyed a couple of very pleasant single malt ethanol-based fluids!
