The Journey To Be As High As Possible

[paxtonwolf]

Last season we lost all of: Saints (H), Chelsea (A), Wolves (A) and W Ham (A)
Using Brentford (A) as last season's equivalent of Forest (A) (came up as play off winners), we drew that game.

So 11 points this season vs 1 point last season in the corresponding games.

(or Norwich W, Burnley L, Watford W)

(We did do the double over City, so that could change things this year!)

As we got 6pts from the 2 Manchester Clubs combined last season, thats probably what we need to get from the same 4 games this season, one way or another

Agreed
Said it earlier
If we drop points to City but make them Up elsewhere it’s progress

That would be net neutral rather than progress.

That would be net neutral rather than progress.

Statistically yes but 6 points of a 'rival' (UNITED) would be more meaningful than pts off someone beyond our xurrentvreach

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That would be net neutral rather than progress.

Not with the additional points we’re already up

OK, looked like you were just talking about the City points in isolation.

Nah
Your point is something I raised last night

these are the fixtures that will take us, and the rest of last seasons top 6, up to the World Cup break.

15 games, 4th place. While recent form has been not great, with the Jan window coming shortly after the WC 'break', if Levy cracks his wallet we could be top 4 again.

Got a couple of bags in last night after the win and drank like a fish, just got indoors ... I tried my best, maybe time for a smoke and get some sleep ...

Maybe i should have tried harder to get as high as possible.

The journey was good, got an uber on a discount code. Not much traffic.

when we ended the season didn't we have conte game average putting us in 3rd?
we're now 4th, so we've gone backwards?

If you consider being 1 place lower after an arbitrary number of games part way through the season as going backwards, sure we've gone backwards.

Not sure what the value of such an observation is though tbh

You probably need to compare over the same time frame

Perhaps....a backwards observation?

We did sort of. But if you measure from when howe took over Saudi Sportswashing Machine they would have been 3rd i believe.
