ariotofmyown Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 There are 6 teams we haven't played so far and none of them are in the current top 8 teams. I wondered how that compared to the rest of the top 8... (Team/Played/Points/Top 8 not played) Bolton 17 38 (Barns, Ox, Ports) Pompey 17 36 (Ox, Bolton) Oxford 17 35 (Ports, Bolt, Pete) Stevenage 19 35 (Pete, Barns) Peteboro 18 34 (Steve, Ox) Derby 17 30 (None) Blackpool 19 30 (None) Barnsley 17 28 (Bolt, Steve) Maybe we are doing better than we thought! taffyram, Carnero, Adslegend and 7 others 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be doing better and the fact we are 6th shows just how poor this year's league 1 is...Stevenage and Oxford above us. But, credit where it is due, Warne has managed to claw us back into 6th with a real shot at top 2, with a decent run of games approaching, let's just hope he manages to keep it going.

I love lists like this, thanks for compiling. My hope is Stevenage and Oxford will fade - the latter in particular are suffering from losing a good manager. In that respect, other top 8 teams who play them now may have the advantage over us. I just want Stevenage to fade because I don't like their playground bully persona! The rest appear to be in and around it on merit so our biggest advantage is that they'll be taking points off each other over the next few weeks. We have to keep winning to capitalise on this. ariotofmyown, taffyram, Premier ram and 3 others 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angieram Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Yep, Cheltenham much more organised with their new manager and again, it was timing.

Portsmouth away at Northampton Saturday with one of their games in hand. Then the next weekend, we are at Orient whilst Peteborough play Oxford and Portsmouth play Bolton. We just need to win again and the table will take care of itself. Edited November 29, 2023 by ariotofmyown angieram and G STAR RAM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
