20 wins in 27 games, including a cup final. Some record that.

74% win rate - that's elite level

Works out at 2.22 points per game, which gets you 84 points over a 38 game season. Title challenging return.

Still firmly the 4th best team out there from the moment he took charge.

Cartel shitting themselves (quite rightly) as to what he could do if we ever levelled up with spending power!

Never noticed this before - Eddie Howe signing along

Could you do the same for when we started winning (Late January) as I actually think it’d be even more impressive once you took those early games turning the oil tanker away from the rocks results out of the equation.

 

I was chatting to a mate who's a Leeds fan after they'd secured promotion and he reminded me of chats we were having in the January of that year where we still weren’t winning, but thankfully hadn’t been cut adrift. I was still shitting myself that we were going down that year, as whilst performances had dramatically improved. The results hadn’t yet and things were looking dicey. But once we got the reinforcements that window, we genuinely haven’t looked back.

He's genuinely an elite level manager. 

 

We've still got a couple years of rebuilding to do squad wise and that's minus the elite infrastructure.

From just before the Leeds win. Tbh we've been so consistent overall since then that it more or less negates that initial bedding in period that Howe had. It closes the gap on 3rd by 9 points

With the resources he has that’s a ridiculously good record.

Same date, guess you win @TheGuv; a ‘quite like’ trumps a ‘wouldn’t mind’.

Looking at that table it seems the big thing between the top 3 and the chasing pack is away wins. Away draws are similar with those above us. Home form is similar. But the away wins and losses are off.

Our goal difference is way head of the chasing pack but some way behind the top 3. If was can start changing some of those away losses even into draws we’ll start opening the gap to the pack. I think catching the top is some way off but if we can firmly establish ourselves as better than Villa, Chelsea, maybe Spurs if they get a better coach then we’re in CL wonderland and the real building can begin.
