We are closer to the play offs then we are to the third bottom.team

Well done lads keep it up.

Predictive text. I apologise.

 

Some really interesting mathematics: -

Points needed to stay up = 52 from 46 games = 1.13 points per game
Points gained so far = 22 from 17 games = 1.29 points per game
Points needed from remaining games = 30 from 29 games = 1.03 points per game. 10 wins from 30 games, or 9 wins and 3 draws, or 8 wins and 6 draws etc.
Game in which 52 points will be achieved at current rate = game 41 = Blackburn away, 8th April 2017
Final points total at current rate = 59. Mid table?
Number of teams that have scored more goals than us = 2. Yes, TWO. Newcastle and Norwich
Number of teams with a better goal difference = 6
Number of teams that have conceded more goals = 5. Food for thought?

After 2 0-0 draws it's understandable that people get at the strikers, but looking at the stats it's conceding that's costing us. If we could get it right at both ends, the season could get even better. Good times at Oakwell.

 

Yep, I would much rather us be looking up the league for a change and shake off our past negativities off from seasons past.

 

Absolutely.
