On a lot of the threads the default answer seems to come down to - remember where we were last season 7 games no points no goals etc etc. Even Roy has used this in the media.
No we should remember that over the whole of last season we got 44 points for an 11th placed finish. However......
When you take the like for like games from last season to this (substituting the promoted team in order in for the relegated ones) we have exactly the same number of points from the games this season.
Last year after 8 games we had played 4 of the top 6, so far this we have played 4 of the bottom 5! We had scored 8 goals conceding 10 a GD of -2. This season we have scored just 5 and conceded 9 for a GD of -4.
Last year was skewed by the prevalence of top 6 teams in our early games. A more qualitative comparison of last season to this shows that we are no better than last season and arguably worse.
This could of course all change very easily over the next 5 games, afterall we lost every one of them last season with an 11 goal hit to our GD. To better our position after 13 games we need to do better than P5 W0 D1 L4 GD-13.
The way we are playing at the moment how many are confident we will do that?
