N0rtherner Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Holmowl said: Accepting the cliche that there’s no easy games in the Championship, our next two are at least near the top of the category marked “winnable”. A struggling Reading away, and a struggling Stoke at what is turning into Fortress Hillsborough again, are mouth-watering on our current form. I usually hate when we're playing struggling teams because we've traditionally ended their runs; but now with our back to back wins against Millwall and Ipswich - who I've usually put in that category - maybe this year could be a bit different? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Looking at the OP graphs, my pre season prediction (posted under my avatar) of 54-56 points is looking good (unfortunately) Edited August 27, 2018 by camffiti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1948 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Its nice to see solid green on the comparison with the season before last. 2-1 Ken on Radio Sheffield will be in the money. Stoke, Forest, Villa and Leeds coming up next. Will our tougher style pay off? I can't answer that right now but these are games that we want to be winning for four different reasons. Stoke: Not the best of starts. In the past we have been the suckers who give a struggling team a leg up, lets stop that now and dent their confidence once more too thwart their challenge. Forest: They will see us as a competitor for their place in the league. We have to win so that we don't slide. Villa: By the time we play Villa we will know if they have recovered from their tonking in S2. If they have recovered we need to impose further doubt in their ranks by emulating last season. If the haven't we need to ensure that they stay down. Leeds: Beating Leeds should take us top of the league if we've beated Stoke, Forest and Villa. Tin hat firmly secured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Two wins, two defeats and a draw, from our next 5 matches, to equal where we were after 11 games in the 16/17 season where we finished 4th. Roughly 1/4 way though the season. We can do even better I’m very confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I make a suggestion? The bar chart would be much better with just a simple white background, much easy to see what's going on imho. Thanks for putting this stuff together.
