We can only hope that three teams finish below us. I hate to say it, but the team we put out today looked very much like a Championship team.

At least 2 of the teams finishing below us will be from the Championship.

Spurs have had their best ever start to a premier league season. Yet they are 9 points off top!
Its all relative to whats around you.

Re: Worst ever points tally at this stage in PL
Plenty more points out there to get. It won’t be comfortable, but we should not be expecting anything else. Last season was the anomaly, not this one.

Huddersfield Fulham and Cardiff below us at the end of the season.

Worse than 14/15. After qualifying for Europe and making big big profits. No excuses I’m afraid.

More worrying, we are no down to 34 points from the last 38 games. Our points per game average has been dropping for 12 months, that is not a blip.

It's not good thankfully Cardiff,Huddersfield and Fulham are no better,the last 4 performances have been acceptable,but our points gathering has to begin from Boxing Day onwards.

Amazingly, we have scored the same number of goals as we had last season at this stage and one less than the season before.

Re: Worst ever points tally at this stage in PL
Fulham thrashed us, we were very fortunate to win at Cardiff and the sitting back against Huddersfield was pathetic. These teams aren't weaker than us although we have a bit more PL experience.Longsider wrote:Huddersfield Fulham and Cardiff below us at the end of the season.

Re: Worst ever points tally at this stage in PL
There’s two worse teams than us but not sure there’s three. Can we recruit two / three players in January that will improve us ? The last two or three windows don’t inspire a great deal of confidence.

Re: Worst ever points tally at this stage in PL
As things stand you'd think the 3 relegated teams will come from the 4 mentioned in this thread.
We have to make sure we finish top of that 4 team mini-league. The current squad are not equipped to do that and needs strengthening in January.
On the positive side we have greater PL experience and have got ourselves out of a relegation scrap once before.
The only relevance as far as points are concerned is getting more than the bottom 3 - that total looks like it might be a couple less than recent years - which is just as well given our poor return so far.
