Comparison of Points Tally At Same Number of Games in Past Seasons

I just had a look at how our points tally of 18 from 15 points compare with our achievements in previous seasons and also points at half way mark of 19 games


2013/2014
After 15 games: 13 points
After 19 games: 16 points
Pulis season

2014/2015
After 15 games: 14 points
After 19 games: 16 points
Warnock replaced by Pardew after Boxing Day

2015/2016
After 15 games: 23 points
After 19 games: 31 points
We all know how we collapsed in the second half of that season
FA Cup Final

2016/2017
After 15 games: 15 points
After 19 games: 16 points
We were still on 19 points after 25 games
Allardyce to the rescue from 26th games

2017/2018
After 15 games: 10 points
After 19 games: 18 points
Hodgsons first season when we had no points from first 7 games

2018/2019
After 15 games: 12 points
After 19 games: 19 points

2019/2020
After 15 games: 21 points
After 19 games: 26 points

2020/2021
After 15 games: 18 points

So we are 3 points below last season both in terms of points after 15 games and also taking into results in parallel matches last season (replacing promoted teams with relegated teams)

Interesting that when we have had a good first half of the season we have had a bad second half (2015/2016 and last season post restart) but generally we had a better second half of the season.

This season is just an average par for the course Palace season.
All the talk of Top 10 finish can stop and we will be looking down more than looking up.
