Yani P Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Compared to the last two seasons where we know we had dramatic 2nd half season drop offs in form we are still just ahead of the game. Fills me with confidence as I firmly believe we will be stronger 2nd half not weaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I always felt we never hit the two points per game mark consistently over the last two season. We have hit that mark at the halfway point now we need to maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 How many points did we get in 1st half v 2nd in mclarens first season? Can't tell from graph but it does not look like there is much difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was certain our first half last season was better than the previous one on the basis that we didn't have the indifferent start that we'd had under nigel. Also that we're not as far ahead in points terms as I thought now relative to 2 seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mills Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 As mentioned above can we extrapolate the feast of the season? also, how about comparing our first half of the season with Bournemouth and Watfords last season and Burnley and Leicester the season before to see how we compare? Top graph, 9.64/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 First 5 games we got 4 draws and a loss and we had huge injury problems. I can totally see us winning 15+ of our next 23 games. Brighton and now Hull have been dropping a lot of points recently. Let's see if we can get 9 points clear of 3rd come the end of match 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 At this stage Leicester had 48 points (ended up with 102) Bournemouth had 45 (ended with 90) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Our form since Johnson & Butterfield signed if maintained would leave us on 102 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still pretty good. This year the aim must be to be at least as good 2 nd half as in the first half. Then we should be home and hosed for the autos. But lots of tough away games to come, including the next two. Leeds tonight will be tough but maybe we can do a smash and grab on them like they did on us.

Tonight is one of last season's fixtures in which we underperformed and got beat so I will be hoping to see improvement. Smash and grab will do although we have a great recent record there so should go with no fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Our disaster area that has killed us for 2 seasons running are the 'Dirty Thirties'. Last season after 33 games we were on 65 points - after 42 games we were on 72 points!!!! Season before we were on 61 points after 32 games - after 41 games we were on 72 points!!!! I remember last season we said it could never be as bad as 13-14....as it turned out it was worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
