Comparing 25/26 to 26/27 game by game

Last season we ended up with 53 points from 46 games. One way of comparing the progress we make is to compare last seasons results to this season fixture by fixture.

To make this comparison possible promoted/relegated teams are paired in last season’s table order so we compare Coventry results against West Ham, Hull against Wolves, Sheff Wed against Bolton and so on.

Fixture - Points 25/26 - Points 26/27 - Difference - Cumulative Difference


Derby (H) - 0 - 3 - +3 - +3

West Ham (A) - 0 - 3 - +3 - +6 (→ Coventry)

Preston (H) - 0 - 3 - +3 - +9


Next Five:

West Brom (A) - 1

Stoke (A) - 0

QPR (H) - 1

Portsmouth (H) - 0

Cardiff (A) - 3 (→ Leicester)

If we were performing to the level of last season’s results, we’d expect to have just 5 points after the first 8 games taking us into the international break.

    Fixture - Points 25/26 - Points 26/27 - Difference - Cumulative Difference

    West Brom (A) - 1 - 1 - 0 - +9

    Stoke (A) - 0 - 0 - 0 - +9

    QPR (H) - 1 - 1 - 0 - +9

    Portsmouth (H) - 0 - 1 - +1 - +10


    With last season’s results we’d have 2 points (draws against WBA and QPR) from the first seven games. Instead we have 12. Next Saturday (Leicester away) would be our first three points of the season.

    See, this is what you should be looking at. Rather than the table and saying 'two points off top' with not even a quarter of the season gone. 
    Hope this carries on all season.

    More rubbish stats.

    Teams are different, with different players & different managers. Some eams have strengthened  over the summer & some have got worse.

    Boro have Lankshear this season, whereas they didnt last. So if we lose to them with him scoring the winner whereas if we drew last season does that make us worse ?

    And why is West Ham a replacement for Coventry ??  Why not for Ipswich or Hull  ??  

    We got 3 points at Portman road & 3 at The Olympic stadium. Therefore 0 gained.

    I explain it in the first post.

    “To make this comparison possible promoted/relegated teams are paired in last season’s table order so we compare Coventry results against West Ham, Hull against Wolves, Sheff Wed against Bolton and so on.”

    Coventry won the league and West Ham finished 18th so the results are paired to make the comparison work. 

    - West Ham (18th) paired with Coventry (1st)
    - Burnley (19th) paired with Ipswich (2nd)
    - Wolves (20th) paired with Hull (P/O winners)

    - Lincoln (1st) paired with Oxford (22nd)
    - Cardiff (2nd) paired with Leicester (23rd)
    - Bolton (P/O winners) paired with Sheff Wed (24th)

    If it’s not for you, you don’t have to follow it.

    Teams evolve of course, including ourselves. This is a good way of comparing how much have we evolved versus the rest of the league.

    I’ll raise you with we have a much better goalkeeper this season who would comfortably save Lankshear’s shot whereas our goalkeeper last season wouldn't give me the confidence to assume he would stop it

    I agree with Golfie slightly on this in that there's so many variables team to team each season, and that's before you take into account form, injuries and suspensions on both sides and when you actually play teams (West Ham away second game of the season we got the win, if we played them this weekend we'll probably get slaughtered) that it could become a rather meaningless data set, but I will follow along to see if any pattern etc emerges over the course of the season

    I find it quite interesting and it helps even out the vagaries of the fixtures. It’s not so much about the actual teams but more their relative strength. Last year we picked up some surprising points from the top teams - can we still do that? Can we do better this season against the mid and lower teams and improve our overall points tally / position in the table?

    If it’s not too much work, could you add final points total and position? I’m not sure there’s much correlation eg we didn’t get relegated in the two seasons with the worst starts but of course we did in 19/20. Interesting in any case - thanks.

    The first time this season where we’ve come away with a worse result in an equivalent fixture from last season (Leicester (A), who were paired with Cardiff).

    Cardiff (A) - 3 - 0 - -3 - +7

    From these eight equivalent fixtures last year we accumulated 5 points. Currently we go into the first international break with 12.

    Mate, this clearly isn't for you, which is fair enough. But don't come on here and criticise every bloody week when someone is doing something a bit different. Just don't open the thread.

    In this case tho his opinion is simply "I don't like this". What he cant accept is that others do like this. Not everyone has to change everything for him because he doesnt like it. The entitlement is mad.

    Roughly means we would accrue another 29 points if we maintained that return, which would see us finishing on 82 points. Must do better unless some of those points come from one of our wins against Millwall this season.

    ’Entitlement’.  I don’t know whether this or ’manipulation’ (edit: ’humble’ gets a nomination) is the most overused word of the decade.

    He doesn’t necessarily think that everything has to change for him. Perhaps he thinks it would be easier for everyone.  I don’t understand myself how -3 -0 - - 3 + 7 works. I make it 7, given that 2 minuses makes a plus.

    Mate, this clearly isn't for you, which is fair enough. But don't come on here and criticise every bloody week when someone is doing something a bit different. Just don't open the thread.

    It is a message board suited for opinion, and @golfaddick is never abusive, he solely puts an opinion across.
    In this case tho his opinion is simply "I don't like this". What he cant accept is that others do like this. Not everyone has to change everything for him because he doesnt like it. The entitlement is mad. 
    ’Entitlement’.  I don’t know whether this or ’manipulation’ (edit: ’humble’ gets a nomination) is the most overused word of the decade.

    He doesn’t necessarily think that everything has to change for him. Perhaps he thinks it would be easier for everyone.  I don’t understand myself how -3 -0 - - 3 + 7 works. I make it 7, given that 2 minuses makes a plus.
    Deary me. It’s just a dash to separate columns in a forum post that doesn’t support tables…

    If you’d prefer slashes instead, here you go

    Bristol City (H) / 0 / 1 / +1 / +8

    Burnley (A) / 3 / 1 / -2 / +6 (Burnley, 19th paired with Ipswich, 2nd)

    Fixture - Points 25/26 - Points 26/27 - Difference - Cumulative Difference

    West Brom (A) - 1 - 1 - 0 - +9

    Stoke (A) - 0 - 0 - 0 - +9

    QPR (H) - 1 - 1 - 0 - +9

    Portsmouth (H) - 0 - 1 - +1 - +10


    With last season’s results we’d have 2 points (draws against WBA and QPR) from the first seven games. Instead we have 12. Next Saturday (Leicester away) would be our first three points of the season.

    The first time this season where we’ve come away with a worse result in an equivalent fixture from last season (Leicester (A), who were paired with Cardiff).

    Cardiff (A) - 3 - 0 - -3 - +7

    From these eight equivalent fixtures last year we accumulated 5 points. Currently we go into the first international break with 12.
    Too many dashes to be understandable at a glance. Are you into Morse code ?
