The Play Off Fight 21/22

True
Maybe me just being impatient
And we did try hard to get cook on board

NW does a much better job of finding great stats but I thought it was worth posting this...

We currently have a 1.76 points per game average, if this continues we will end up with 80 or 81 points...while not good enough for automatic promotion its more than good enough for a playoff place with room to spare.

I feel very confident now that we will make the playoffs because I've seen nothing to suggest that this form, or something close to it, won't continue. We've played well and won, played well and lost, played badly and won, etc...we've faced disappointments and just picked ourselves up and gone again... so I don't really see where a prolonged bad run of form comes from unless we get very unlucky with injuries.

If you want to be even more optimistic... from this point last season we got 41 points from our last 21 games (1.95 points per game) which would give us 85 points...that typically wouldn't be enough for automatic promotion but shows we're not out of the running yet.

Happy Days.

It is rather difficult walking around all day with both your fingers and toes crossed.....

The last 3 games show Fulham are a class above. It is remarkable that their goal difference is +47 yet no other team has even scored more than 44! I don't think I've ever seen a stat like that.

It's a race for second if we are up for it.

What are we hoping for tonight?

A Middlesbrough win to give us the chance to go second?

Or Blackburn win so it gives us the chance to get a much bigger gap over 7th and maintain a more secure Top 6 place?

poor goal to give away by Boro. A draw would suit us.

True. What is obvious this season is that this team largely works together and scrapes wins out of poor performances. All teams and individual players go through rough patches, so we have to believe we will do even better when the team plays well and with greater self-belief!
