Castleford Owl Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 We've seen plenty of debate regarding style of performance, level of opponent and general standard of this league. To put things into perspective, we have very rarely had a better points haul at this stage in the last 30 seasons. Thinking back through the seasons, I've had a look at our more "successful" ones and...(correct me if I'm wrong) 1990/91 after 13 games: 28 points 2011/12 after 13 games: 26 points Therefore, our 3rd best start to a season (up to press) in 30 years.

torres Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 If we don't fall off a cliff from now until January we have a real chance. Hopefully somehow we can ditch Rhodes and Winnall and bring in 2 more players suited to us (a bit of pace upfront) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 There’s 4 points that seperate the top 9, 3 that seperate the top 5, and 3 points seperate 2nd to 10th. Everyone seems to be having a decent start, by our own poor standards. Is this one of the threads you look back on after we lose on Saturday and are sitting in 9th, thinking urgh! How many points did we have 91-92 at this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he meant 90-91, after 13 games we had 28 points (we had 28 points after 12 games but lost the 13th game at Millwall after being 2 up at HT and also lost Nilsson to an injury which would keep him out for the next 6 months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not he can move him on in January could dictate our season, in a roundabout way. Let's just hope we're still in with a shout by then. A lot is resting on Fletcher's shoulders over the next two and a half months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The league will settle down in the next 4/5 games when teams at the top end start playing each other. If we are there or there about’s after this we have a real chance. Strengthen the front line in January and we are notorious for having a good second half to the season either in a relegation or promotion battle and pick up quite a lot of points. The main worry for me is if the league see fit to deduct points for the stadium sale/ffp etc.... like Birmingham had last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
