Relegationometer

[Decky]

Apparently, no clubs who were promoted to the top 5 divisions last season, were relegated this season. Pretty impressive.

Perhaps the mooted ‘huge gulf’ between the Prem and Champo is overestimated for all leagues. I know it’s a bit of a stretch but I watched an Altrincham vs Shaw Lane game, a few weeks ago, and it wasn’t hugely different in terms of some of the individual quality in show than I’ve seen in some Championship games. Of course there must be a difference on average (particularly in the example I use) but perhaps more overlap than we assume.

 

When you look at how much teams bounce around the 3 FL divisions it makes you wonder how small the gap in quality between the bottom of the Championship and say the top of League Two really is.

33 points needed to stay up this season then. When did we hit that?

[Vinny Green Balls]

March 31st when we beat Huddersfield.

The 3-0 win against Southampton on the 10th March, 9 games before the end of the season.

[Vinny Green Balls]

Think we had 32 for that, right?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

March 31st when we beat Huddersfield.

 

This. Took us from 32 to 35 points.

Think we had 32 for that, right?

Yeah, you're correct, for some reason I though Nobody said 31

[Vinny Green Balls]

nobody did say 31

Only consolation today, is if Cardiff can't beat us at their place when we play like this... Well they are almost certainly down. Two places left.

[Ketsbaia]

We're ahead of this stage last season

 

But that performance, alongside the inclusion of Manquillo and Joselu, makes it all a bit grim. Cardiff are gone but we knew this.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Every time

 

We'll be fine this year. It just should've been much more.

[Decky]

Fuck me we're 2 games in.

[Kaizero]

Unproportionally funny to me

[Guest The Little Waster]

No need to worry tberes always the next game ...

[HaydnNUFC]

Fuck me we're 2 games in.

Aye. Ridiculous. We were worse at Huddersfield last year imo. We won't be in bother this season. Shame it probably won't be much more thanks to fat Ash.

 

No doubt though this thread will be bumped if we lose any of the next 3.

[Optimistic Nut]

We'll be fine man. We were shite today and still had the 3 best chances of the game. Cardiff, Huddersfield and someone like Watford, Bournemouth, Brighton or even Fulham if their signings don't click.

0.

I have no idea why people are certain we won't be in bother like. We're going to be fighting relegation most of the season imo. I'm guessing between 40 and 48 points in the end.

I don't think the fixture list for the next month is going to help. Really needed that pen to go in today.

Then we'll be relatively comfortable then.
