So, because Brighton beat Ipswich and Derby, does that make Brighton a better team than both of them?
I prefer the evidence of a whole season than one indivual match to decide who is better.
Over 39 games Norwich, Bournemouth, Watford and Boro have proved themselves as amaong the elite teams...
Of course "it works like that".
The top teams are at the top because they are the best.
Saying "Look at our results against the teams in the top half." is a logic fail.
What is a better representation of how good a team is?
One match v a team which you play the best you play all season...
Yes there has obviously been an improvement, but looking at a table of the last 10 matches is a bit misleading.
In that time have played only one of the Top 7 (Derby), in a league dominated by those clubs.
The final 7 fixtures are much, much tougher. Still have to play Norwich, Bournemouth...
