..and some stats for league games played this season
P4 Pts 10 (after Derby A)
P8 Pts 22 (after Donny H)
P10 Pts 26 (after Palace A)
P14 Pts 30 (after Burnley H)
P19 Pts 41 (after Cardiff H)
P21 Pts 41 (after Leeds A)
P23 Pts 47 (after Cov A)
One thing I noticed was that even after our brilliant start (W8 D2 L0 after Palace A) gave way to a bit of reality, we've done ok/pretty well. Even with the 4 draws in a row that followed and the recent two defeats, we've still managed 21pts from the next 13 games - which is equivalent to 74pts in 46 games, so playoff form in many seasons.
If you average out the pts needed to finish second in the 22 seasons since the second division started playing 46 games (88/89), it works out at 82.3. Call it 83 to round it up. Of course, it's only an average - the lowest needed was 75, the highest 91. Another way to look at it is to estimate the number of pts 2 other sides (Cardiff + Leeds?) might now reach. If you were to go back to the average of 83pts, that's 36 more from the 47 we have now, an average of 1.57 a game - or 6.3 every 4 games, 9.4 every 6 games, the equivalent of 72 a season.
