At this stage yes but the beauty of the 3 points for a win system is that a win and a loss gets you more points than 2 draws. It makes it less effective just to play for bore draws.
I did not say they were near a relegation place so why are you taking me up on it? Though, if you can't accept the spirit of the point: they very much were close to the relegation zone after circa 7 games or so. BTW after 11 games they'd scored a massive 2 more goals than Brighton.
Sad me. Just checked Reading had 15 points after 11 games [which is the same as they have this season] and ended up with 89 points. That achievement was better than your 'mad' prediction.
