32 points from 21 games - exactly the same as the previous two seasons!
This shows that no progress is being made, though?!
Bearing in mind all the upheaval before the season, recruiting a manager with no experience in this country and all the injuries we've had, I would say we are doing very well so far.

Beat Charlton and Bournmouth and we will be happier keep the faith.
Happy Chrismas my fellow fans and customers!
Oddly, when you compare how we did last season against the teams we have played this season, we're actually down on last season.
Last season away from home at the 3 sides that got promoted we got 3 points. Against the 3 sides that replaced them this season we've got 5 points
Yep. But last season we beat derby and barnsley at home and drew with Forest, this season we lost all three. Last season we beat huddersfield and Sheff Wed at home but only managed a draw this year. That's -11. Last season we beat ipswich and leeds away, this season we lost, that's another -6 points.
Another quirk of comparisons and maths, if we had got the same results as when we played these fixtures last season (i.e. against the teams we have played) we would only have 26 points.
Utterly pointless (pardon the pun) comparing against the same teams as last year. They aren't the same teams, only by name. Some are better, some are worse than last year. Comparing apples to oranges, e.g. Watford Last year Watford this year, etc etc
It shows progress from last season considering we had 8 players out for 80% of our games so far.
Although we got four more points than anyone jan-may last season so will be tough to match!
In truth comparing anything to last season is pointless. Points needed at the end of the season for each significant part (avoiding relegation, play offs, automatic, top) change each year. A poor run in the second half of the season can negate a great run in the first half. The only comparison worthy is at the end of the season.
most teams don't make wholesale changes from season to season.
