Our form is Relegation,

[John William]

The voice of reason amongst some of the early panic-ers. Good man.

There's a world of difference between worrying and panicking.

Anyone who isn't worried has their head in the sand.

Anyone who is panicking is a fool.

There's plenty of time and games to get things right again. But I do think it has to start soon, preferably tonight.

Agreed. If we had lost to, I don't know, Bristol Rovers, Yeovil, and Walsall then I would be very concerned.

We still have plenty of time and games.

indeed but i'm very worried

Does this not worry anyone?

I mean real bad stats coming into feb our biggest month I can only see a major relegation battle.

If we had 30 points at this stage, then I would see a relegation battle too, but our good start to the season protects us against a loss of form.

The teams below us who are putting some results together are under pressure to keep that going and even if we take some time to turn things around, who is to say that another mid table club isn't going to have a shocking month and get draw into trouble.

What worries me is that our home record must give visiting sides a lot more hope than they would have had a week ago and our success is built on home form.

True, teams are scared of us at home but in all honesty I wouldnt be worried now, Too many gaps in our play,

This attitude can only survive for so long, if the dip in form continues then exactly the same as last season will happen, and to leave it to the last game this season - Argyle & Sheff Wed - may not be so happy as last year.
Time to pull up socks very high for all players & management.

Based on the points gained per match for matches played up to
and including Saturday 5th Feb,
I have worked out a fantasy League I finish by multiplying the
points per match played to that date ratio by 46 games.

Points Ratio end of season
Pos. Team per games Plyd points est.
1. Brighton 1.96 90.1
2. Huddersfield 1.75 80.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Bournemouth 1.72 79.1
4. Charlton 1.69 77.7
5. Southampton 1.66 76.3
6. Peterborough 1.59 73.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Oldham 1.57 72.2
8. MK Dons 1.51 69.4
9. Rochdale 1.40 64.4
10. Colchester 1.40 64.4
11. Hartlepool 1.37 63.2
12. Carlisle 1.34 61.6
13. Sheffield Weds 1.33 61.1
14. Leyton Orient 1.30 59.8
15. Notts County 1.28 58.8
16. Brentford 1.25 57.5
17. Exeter City 1.25 57.5
18. Tran Rvs 1.19 54.7
19. Yeovil Town 1.17 53.8
20. Plym Argyle 1.10 50.6
---------------------------------------------------------------------
21. Swindon Town 1.06 48.7
22. Bristol Rovers 0.96 44.1
23. Dag & Redb 0.96 44.1
24. Walsall 0.93 42.7

Too simplistic maybe, but it may be interesting to see how close this is
at the end of the season

Sorry for the above, but my cut and paste did not stay in format. If you put a hyphen between the first set of decimal figures you get the points won per game played to date, followed by the estimated season total.

On current form, I can see Walsall avoiding relegation. They're a changed team with the new manager and Gilly.
