This season
The first 15 league matches = 35 points at an average of 2.33 points per match
The next 16 league matches = 26 points at an average of 1.62 points per match.
If we average the same 1.62 points over the next 15 matches, we will acquire 85 points which ought to be enough.
So a decline of 0.71 pts per game.
If that decline was repeated and we get 0.91 from the 15 matches we will end up on 74 pts even less than the 78 pts I predicted
Strewth, so we are going to average less than a point per game now, and start losing left right and centre?
For every win we get, we will lose two.
If we win three and draw one, we will lose six.
Is this really what you think is going to happen to this side to end up with the kind of form them at result in 74 or 78 points?
