Game 39 last season was also a sunny 3pm at the Amex and had the heart wrenching conclusion of Michael Keane, who had a good game for England during the week, heading in an equaliser for Burnley.
This left us in 3rd with 7 games left behind Boro and Burnley.
Our next game (game 40) was v...
So Game 37 for us last season was a 1-0 H win over Reading scored by James Wilson (remember him).
This put us in second briefly. Next up (38) was *that* A win over MK Dons. We all remember that one.
So we're still +9 points and +16 GD from 2016/17. Nine games to go...
So Game 33 for us last season was that thumping of Bristol City away from home.
We remained fourth. Next game up was the 4-0 defeat of Leeds and a pretty good undefeated run-in
So this time last season we're +11 points (no change on last week), + 20 Goal Diff (-1), and we're 1st (2nd) not 4th.
Good to see how far ahead we are every previous season in Amex, not just last year.
This time in previous seasons after 32 games...
2015/16: +11 points 4th P32: 57 points (Hull were 1st : 60 -31 games)
2014/15: +34 points 20th P32: 34 points (Derby 1st: 62 )
2013/14: +19 points 8th P32...
This time last season we'd been thumped at lunchtime 4-1 by Cardiff which left us still only 3 points of the top with 57 points. Blimey.
We didn't lose again all season and our next 2 games were 4-0 thumpings of Bristol, Leeds.
Any repeat in 2017 next Saturday and Tuesday...If only. Then we...
Given the top 6 all have to play nearly all of each other then these 100+ points totals are impossible for multiple teams.
Let alone the assumption that obviously nobody is going to go on a 16 match winning run. Are they ?
Not once in 20 years has a team with 90 or more not been in the top 2.
After 30 games last season we were 4th with 56 points having just beaten Bolton 3-2 at Home.
So we're currently + 8 points , + 16 GD being 2nd (probably) with 64 points and +26 GD.
Our next game (31) was v table toppers Hull. 0-0 on a Tuesday night. Game (32) was v Cardiff (1-4) and we...
Compared to previous seasons in Champ we are, after 26 games...
2015/16 +13 points (6th) - Boro were 1st with 55 after 26, Burnley had 48.
2014/15 +31 points (19th) - Bournemouth had 51 after 26.
2013/14 +18 points (7th) - Leicester at this stage had 57 and were top.
2012/13 +17 points...
