NUFC Statistical Analysis (12/13 Season)


SEMTEX

Recommended Posts

It's actually been a pretty canny week, really. :lol:

 

Morale-boosting draw at the Mackems where a victory was only prohibited by the referee. Comfortable victory in Europe that puts us in the driving seat to qualify. A very good three points today against a team who've been playing very well.

 

Those are the facts, however fluky we were today. Hopefully Cisse's bottom has provided the catalyst for a bit of momentum. Next week is a huge game; a point there would be another good result.

The extra two points today were what we deserved at the SOS.

Today's not a bad result by any means. Liverpool aren't what they were but Anfield's a perennial bogey ground for us. Out of context, i wouldn't be disappointed with a point and we're currently unbeaten in four, 8 points from 12. With some winnable games to come, it's not bad at all.

 

DWWD isn't a bad run of form - you have to give Pardew credit for that. I consider the next five games all seriously winnable. 10 points is an absolute bare fucking minimum against the upcoming opposition. This current run is a decent building block, as torturous as the games have been.

 

Can't tell if we're building momentum but - as poorly as you think we might be playing - we're only 3 points off 4th and November is a massive opportunity to make a stab at the European spots.

 

EDIT: Talking shit, i've counted the Brugges game as a PL one. But the point remains, we're not far off CL spots.

Looking at the figures in brackets, only Chelsea are really tearing up what they did against the same opponents as last season. Fulham are the only other team to pick up 3 or more points. Liverpool, Arsenal & us doing the worst.

Thanks Nut.

 

We've started the season with harder fixtures this time, so the yellow line is not as bad as it looks.

 

An issue will be can we kick on this year as the fixtures get easier given that such games are coming when injuries, suspensions, Thurs-Sun Europa League tiredness, etc., are starting to mount.

 

West Ham being only two points ahead of Wolves is a curious one. It means they can only have done well in fixtures Wolves did well in. West Brom too have not improved on a fixture by fixture basis.

 

Liverpool cruising towards mid table mehness then. Maybe Rodgers should start giving it the "twenty million off the wage bill" one before the pressure really does build.

There is a strange and worrying correlation from game 10 through to 17 for the past 2 seasons. The line almost flatlines during both seasons.

 

We don't seem to do well over the winter period!

 

Hope this season bucks the trend
