At the risk of getting slated for Pardew bashing (see my considered opinion on the 'Management' thread), surely it is a concern that we have generally been unable to learn from experience in this league? I've done a quick check of our results comparing the first and second time we have played against the same opposition - and it is not a pretty picture:

Got better four times:

Lost/ Drawn v WBA
Lost/ Won v Stoke, Plymouth, Sheff U

Stayed same five times:

Lost/ Lost v Wolves, Burnley
Drawn/ Drawn v Watford
Won/ Won v Palace (hollow cheering), Cardiff

Got worse eleven times:

Drawn/ Lost v Scunthorpe, Colchester
Won/ Drawn v Sheff Weds, Norwich, and Leicester, Hull, Southampton, Bristol City
Won/ Lost v Preston, Ipswich, Blackpool

    That should read LOST Weegie

    Stoke, Plymouth, Sheff Utd were Lost /Won not Drawn / Won

    but apart from that piece of pedantry I agree.

    Sorry RA SE7 and Len - corrected now. Wishful thinking creeping in!

    To be fair to ya Weegie I have thought the same, but to call it Improvement/Worse is I feel WRONG! As we've virtually played with 2 different teams from the first half and second half of the season. Just seems the second team haven't done as well on the whole! Not that the first team did much better!

    Putting a (very slightly) more positive spin on it, it means we failed to take anything from just two teams.

    You could say that about some of the things that happen during a game as well.
    Take for instance when we take a corner.the ball get's sent in to the box at the perfect height for the oppo keeper to gather.Next corner.Guesss what? deja vu.

    Are we stoopid or something!

    And also we won't have to play Scunthorpe and Col U next season...I'm sure we'll do better against Swansea and Carlisle/ Doncaster/ Leeds

    Do you mean that or is that sarcastically? I'd say the teams coming up are better than the teams going down.

    It may have been slightly tongue in cheek, Chris!
