Ted Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 we are now about 40% through the season which has seen good and bad and prompted a lot of negative comments on players, tactics and Shez. But consider this - 40% is a reasonable proportion on the basis of which to consider overall performance - we have 34 points. an equivalent return over the rest of the season (including more good and bad) would yield 86/87 points. we have been in this division for 12 seasons, in only 3 of those would that total not have resulted in automatic promotion - we have scored 34 goals. again continuing in this vein would give 86/87 with our previous best being 77. so KTF and get behind the team.

Butter Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Its weird you wouldn't think we were 4th in the League feels like we're 14th with all the negativity around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Its weird you wouldn't think we were 4th in the League feels like we're 14th with all the negativity around. I wish that people would stop going on and on and on about the negativity The recent poll on here showed clearly that the vast majority of fans support Shez. The last three games have been won and that has given all a lift - prior to that there was concern (and rightly so) about the performances and the downward spiral. So give it a break would ya? We are doing well so just emphasise the positive huh? Rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 only 3 of those would that total not have resulted in automatic promotion I'm guessing those were the years where other teams averaged more points than that... Sorry, I'll be cheerful again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned on here before that i reckon 86 should be enough to go up and I have worked out where we need to pick points up from in order to achieve that total. So far we are 2 points ahead of where we need to be due to results against Leeds Tranmere Northampton and Sarfend which i didn't predict - poor of me i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Erm that was my point? Well not quite - I am asking the people who go on about the people who are being negative to give it a rest - a slight difference there ya see? The negative posters are few and far between so if we stop giving them credibility and instead emphasise the positive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
