Some posters on here have been wondering how this season's results compare to our league position at this stage last season, so here's an extract from my article in last Saturday's programme comparing this season to last season after 22 league games:
At present, we have played 22 league games, winning five; drawing seven and losing ten, thereby accumulating 22 points.
After 22 league matches last season, we had both exactly the same record and total of points.
An improvement this season is that we are scoring more goals (24 to date as opposed to only 15 at this point last season).
Meanwhile, the goals against total currently stands at 35, which is exactly the same as at this stage last year. That latter statistic may well come as a surprise to those of us who had perceived our defence to be a stronger unit this season!
At this juncture last season, we had managed to record an away win and had picked up a total of seven points on our travels from twelve games.
Alas, this season, that coveted away victory continues to elude us and we have only collected five points out of a possible 33 so far.
In terms of corresponding league positions, last season we were 17th out of 22 teams and at present we lie in 21st place out of a total of 24 teams.
As always with statistics, read into all that what you will!
