In the same league position as 2 years ago, but far safer, regardless of having 3 less points. So really, Davey's not that bad is he?
I think the only real improvement made is that we don't tend to think we are 2-0 before kick off. remember, 1st season in that we ALWAYS seem to concede 2 and in some respects, last season. the fact that our defence is way better does show an improvement (you only need to look at the goals conceded over the 3 seasons) Unfortunately, we have also gone the other way in putting the ball in the net ourselves.
RE: I think the only real improvement made is I'd forgotten that - but you're right we did seem to give 2 goals per game away
Looking at the tables... Our goals against has fallen season on season. However, so has our goals scored.
In other words We've become more boring. However, start from the back and all that. Watch us score more next season, then start letting loads in again!
06/07 25 pts off play offs 07/08 15 pts off play offs 08/09 22 pts off play offs First season not all down to Davey but we are getting further away from challenging. Stats eh.
