2015/16 season compared with last season calculator

The following thread compares the results from last season to the actual results in the coming season. It is not a predictor but it does provide a guide to how well we are doing overall.

In our first season it was our form against the clubs who eventually finished below us that stood out, whereas last season we almost doubled our number of points against the teams that finished above us but dropped points against teams that finished below us, particularly at home. Our away form continues to be our main strength.

Over the 2 seasons around one third of our points have come from the teams who finished above us and two thirds from the teams below. However, in both seasons we only accumulated 16 points in the first half of the season. Before the fixtures came out I thought we should be aiming for 25 points in the first half of the season and looking at the comparable results from last season this is certainly achievable. That would leave us in a comfortable mid-table position at the half way stage but as we know things don't often go to plan.

I have switched the results from last season for Hull to Bournemouth, Burnley to Watford and Norwich to QPR.
