geordiedean Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 sitting at a 7 for me. Concerned at the lack of dominance in games from us and the nature of the defeats ( 6 of them more than fulham and villa and the same as Derby and Reading). Im still hopeful but lose any more than 10 games and i think the chasing pack could reel us in Brighton may draw a few but i don't expect them to lose 10 games all season having only lost 2 so far so if we lose 10 or more you can forget the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Or we could just go on a win streak into next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Aye. The fact we've lost 6 just shows we have a lot of room for improvement. The fact that despite this we're only 2 points from the top is ludicrous tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be far lower under the old 2 points system., Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the 3 points system was intended to encourage teams to win more games. We've won the most games so it's benefited us in this instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We've won the most games in the division so I don't think there's any system that wouldn't have benefitted us All leagues are going to be tighter if there was only 2 points on offer for a win and not 3 points. Sunderland would be closer to Chelsea if there was only 2 points for a win this season. It's simple maths Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Sorry my fault, had a bit of a brain fart. The point I'd like to make is that if we are to continue to lose games at the rate we have, then we need to have a low amount of draws to keep us where we are in terms of points.

Hanshithispantz Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I know what Neesy means like, I've never seen a win to loss record like ours before over half a season It's definitely not normal and therefore you can sort of assume that some of our wins and losses will turn to draws over the remainder of the season which will ultimately lead to less points on average due to the way the points system is. Our loss record shows that we really need to improve quite a lot, even though we're 2 points off top, it's weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our loss record shows that we really need to improve quite a lot, even though we're 2 points off top, it's weird Hull had something like 16 losses when they went up in 2012/13. More than a 3rd of their games that season, went up with 82 points or around that mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 A win tomorrow is essential imo, otherwise doubts will begin to become serious, in fact a nice run of 5 or 6 wins on the bounce is what we need right now to settle a lot of nerves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a meltdown on here if we lose tomorrow. And rightly so to an extent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
