Nice stats but my eyes have just exploded.

It's like the intro to the Matrix....

Is it one of those 3D hidden eye pictures?

If you squint and look at it long enough you can see !

It only works if you tilt your head to one side and lick your elbow

The only crumb of positivity there is that the vast majority of our managers have been English...

Good stats from Megson's point of view.

Although clearly skewed by the fact we are in league 1 and the aim is promotion.

A similar win rate in the championship would have seen us get automatic promotion or a playoff place, so Sturrock and Laws were always going to have their work cut out to match it.

It will also be slightly worse once it is updated to include our games since the 9th of Jan.

Sorry, it's not posting as a table - see http://en.wikipedia....y_F.C._managers on WIkipedia and just click the win ratio tab.

That's up to 4th February. Recent results have pushed it down to 43.55%.

Not that much better than Alan Irvine on 40.68%

Win ratio means nothing. Promotion does and trophies.

We are in L1 in his first year and I should hope that his win ratio is more than half if we go up but that's only due to the length of time he's had his job. Sturrocks ratio after his first season must have been the highest yet when we got in Championship we were never going to win promotion again so win ratios never show where the club was at or what objectives in the season are.

[Guest S2 4SU]

hardly stacks up to Robson's do they

No. We sacked Robson.

and the score was on sunday PIG.

Look at the league table.

[BRADDAZ]

87 years and counting.......

Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

The centenary isn't far away....

[Guest S2 4SU]

arrrr are u still hurting.........im so glad

I know beating us is special to you. Even GM said it was the greatest victory of his career.

I take that as a compliment.

[Furious George]

Look at the league table.

Let's be right here, you support a team of serial bottlers. Big games and semi finals, play off finals, relegation battles when you are favourites to stop up by some margin....

....I'm looking at the league table and if there's one team I'm confident of throwing it away its your lot.

Funny how the derby means so little once you've lost.

Trot on...

depends how you look at it

Irvines record was around 40%!!!

[Guest S2 4SU]

and its not to u then.the big games what count and u lot bottle it like always.

Could be worse, we could be bottling it against exeter, stevenage and chesterfield.

[Furious George]

Only as good as your last game. How was that by the way?

[BRADDAZ]

I wouldn't start taking the wee wee just yet porky. Egg on face springs to mind, especially considering your football clubs record of throwing things away....
