A tense final 6 months as you try and pick up 2 points. Is this based on the average points needed to stay up or have you mathematically worked it out?

capt_oats Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Fucked if I'm looking any further back but over the last 5 seasons the average points total for 10th at the end of the season and 6th at the split are below. Gives a rough idea of where things stand in terms of "milestones": 10th: 18/19: 33 (Accies) 17/18: 33 (Accies) 16/17: 37 (Dundee) 15/16: 43 (Accies) 14/15: 41 (Killie) Avg = 37.4 pts 6th at the split: 18/19: 50 (Hearts) 17/18: 46 (Hearts) 16/17: 41 (Thistle) 15/16: 43 (County) 14/15: 44 (Dundee) Avg = 44.8 pts Incidentally this was the table after the same number of fixtures last season: We're currently 16 points better off, 12 goals more scored and 7 fewer conceded...which is nice.

Asking for a friend. Was just an average over a certain amount of years, as yer man done a few posts above. You'll be comfortably top half this year, comfortably 4th too I'd imagine. The rest of the league is awful this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ross County game is the only loss that stands out and shows how consistent we've been against the other teams (which is something that's been the case for the entire calendar year and was the basis of our success under McCall IIRC). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt trying to claim anything about the relative sides or that, it just highlights how thin the margins can be in this league to a degree. Your absolute light years ahead of us as a team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cole does depart, it would still leave us with 6 ‘forwards’ but it remains to be seen if Robinson would actually trust the likes of Manzinga, Ilic or (after yesterday) Seedorf for any sustained period of time. I think Cole’s been decent enough for us but I can’t say I’m overly upset at the thought of him being away. Felt sorry for him yesterday mind when he came on and ended up having to do Seedorf’s jobs for him. Said it a while back but it feels like we missed boat with the boy Dykes at Livi. We were rumoured to be sniffing about him this time last year and he looks ideal for what we’re looking for just now. Shouts of Murphy and Lafferty are interesting. Robinson’s obviously been stung by the likes of McCormack and Sloth in recent windows but he certainly seemed to allude to the fact he’d do it again on the Longer Listen podcast if such a player becomes available.

Fundamentally, we've got a good squad this season, so I think we can still afford a gamble on a player if the right one is available. I think the problem is where you a relying on that type of player rescuing a shite season or spunking too much of your budget on one player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much as @Gianfranco says... Our calendar year in the league is below (results in the spoiler). It's changed days from the "cup results don't count" squad using Robinson's league record against him. P 36 W 20 D 4 L 12 F 56 A 47 GD + 9 Pts 64 (from 108) We've won 55% of our games, drawn 11% and lost 33%...we've taken 59.2% of available points. 7 of the 12 losses have been away from home (Celtic x2, Hibs x2, Rangers, Aberdeen and St Johnstone) and the 5 losses at home have been to Celtic, Rangers x 2, Aberdeen and of course County.

dezz Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 When you consider some of the winless runs other teams in the league have been on in the last year (Accies, St J, Hearts) it’s pretty wild that we’ve not lost more than 2 in a row all year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
