Seven games in and we're fourth. Wafer thin squad. Amazing. Maybe we should do the amateur pre-season routine again next year. Seems to h:) ave worked. What with holidays and family duties I haven't had a chance to get to a game yet but was fully expecting us to be 18th, 19th at this point in time. Coppell once said that after 10 games you get a good idea of where your team will finish so we should be happy. Lay off the slagging off Nelson, Tillen, Brooker and Rhodes and enjoy this unexpected success. Even if the Swans beat us on Tuesday night give credit to a bloody good effort on the team's part. Well done Leroy + team

Why do you think the taffs will beat us Tuesday:confused: :wave:
 

Remarkable

I'm not saying we will lose - this team's clearly got an edge which sees them unbeaten after 7 games. Riding our luck maybe. Its just that Swansea have a cracking set of forwards who have tended to undo us recently (remember Leon Knight last season?). If we win on Tuesday we can really be confident. Given our circumstances I'd take a score draw. Wouldn't you?

Riding our luck definatly. I just hope that this unbeaten run isn't raising unrealistic expectations. We could just as easily have picked up only 5 or 6 points from the first 7 games and couldn't really have complained about it.
 

Remarkable

We will get found out at some point and i expect Swansea to beat us on tuesday as they have the best set of strikers we ahve faced thus far. However we must have the longest unbeaten record in the football league, 15 games and counting

The problem with luck in football is that it has a nasty habit of equalling itself out over the season.

Just hope we have not used up our share to early.

I think it's equalising out what happened towards the end of last season
 

Remarkable

I agree it's a very good and solid start to the season with excellent spirit in the camp but we have drawn four out of seven which equates to eight points dropped. Would like to see a few more three pointers. technically you could go all season unbeaten by drawing all your games but would almost certainly be relegated on 46 points.
 

Remarkable

We have started very well but there is still room for improvement in my eyes. Not to take anything away from the lads though they have been brilliant so far. Cant wait for Lloyd to come back though, the thought of him and an in form Kuffour up top is something special.

lol Yeah but what happened in the other three!!! 52 points is almost ALWAYS enough to stay up :computer:
 

Remarkable

I hope we use up all our luck now, as when Skulason, Frampton and Owusu are back, we won't need any luck!
 

Remarkable

We may have rode our luck in matches, but we've been unlucky with injuries a bit at times.

Imagine how good we could be with Owusu, Frampton and Oli all back, if we can get a load of points without them, who knows what we can do with out them. At the moment we are playing well at times and poor at others, due to have a largely young and inexperienced side, when these 3 (well 2 really as Oli is still a bit inexperienced really) back I don't think that will be the case as much. For a start the defence will benefit from Owusu holding the ball up as they won't have so much to do.
 

Remarkable

They're sh*t and they're Welsh as well!!

lol

:D :sorted:

It shall be interesting when we do lose (I'd rather lose to anyone but Swansea [or Huddersfield :rolleyes: ] ) how we deal with it. We could go on a 20 game losing streak or we could bounce back and continue our great start to the season. We shall see...

I can't wait until all the players are back fit. Especially, Skulason and Framo. We won our most points when both of them were in the team at the start of the season and I think with back up players like Carder Andrews and Osbourne who will be on the bench, we have exciting times ahead.
I truly hope though that Rhodes is dropped, pppllleeeaaassseee play Tillen in left midfield , he gets into such good positions and suits that role much better.

No losses are good but we need more wins rather than draws, all in all far better than expected tho :) :sorted:
 

Remarkable

if we drew every game in the season we would have 44 points

Err, I think you will find we would have 46 there Hanworth!!! That is how many games we play afterall :wave:
 

Remarkable

yeh your right for some reason I thought there were 23 teams in the league not 24..doh
 

Remarkable

When framo gets back, push tillen up and drop Rhoads (sp?) Lloyed will make a big diffrence to our attack and will fit with kuffour perfectly. Oli will help keep it on the deck, and will dictate play. if we can ride our luck till these 3 are back, the dark days of last season will be over

ms

There are 24 teams in our league.
Simple formula: no. of teams in a league x 2 minus 2. ie (24 x 2) - 2 = 46
In other words every team plays each other twice (H and A), a team can't play themselves H and A.

Now for your homework ..........
 

Remarkable

very good tw1 bee, but if one is to think there are 23 teams in the league the above formula was used already

However if you win your home games and draw your away ones, you'll get promoted with 92 points. We have so far played 7, 3 home and 4 away so we are still on target for 92 points. ;) :wave:
 

Remarkable

No, we are on target at the moment for 85 points (13/7 x 46)- which would equal our highest ever total.
 

Remarkable

We are on target for 92 ponts still...!

(We have drawn 1 at home and won 1 away)

This would make 67 points at home if we win the rest and 25 away if we draw all the rest...

Yes, but our record so far suggests that we won't do quite that well at home and will do slightly better away than you suggest. Taking this into account, we will get 88 points.



Or not, of course.

I agree that is very unlikely that will win all our home games and draw all our away games...88 points would do for me..!!:)
