[Albion] Undefeated or a few more points?

[Sheebo]

I want to get to half a season undefeated.

With that in mind,

Birmingham WIN
Charlton WIN
Derby DRAW
QPR WIN
Middlesbrough DRAW
Brentford WIN

will do nicely.

Can see us losing a all these games in paper but that's the pessimist in me...!

It's like a successful cup run, and we all know what that means..........

It's obvious that everyone should go for more points, as much as the unbeaten run is amazing. However, I think some people are getting too hung up on the idea we're not winning games because we're worried about going for it and losing the unbeaten run (which I've seen suggested a few times). I think the alternative side is, even when we've not been playing at our best, we are picking up at least a point from games, games that we would have lost last season. Take the last four games, we've won at home to MK and got three really good draws away to top eight teams. It's hard to complain about that that even though we've dropped off the top of the league.

No complaints, just keep drawing away and winning at home. Got a feeling our record will end to someone near the foot of the table..

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Whilst I appreciate it's our recent run that is a concern... The other teams around us have either won the same amount as us (9) or just one more.
If one of these teams had 12 wins, and was starting to pull away, then fair enough, but that's not the case.

With 2 points separating the top 5, it's more important to not give points away to the other top 6 teams. IMHO

Undefeated until after the Brentford match to chalk up the half-season, and then to start winning more once Calleri signs in January

We make a load of cash which goes missing ?

While you can dream up scenarios in which we would be better off with less points if we lose to those teams around us, statistically speaking you would expect, from where we are now, we would be better off with more points than less come the end of the season....So unless you phrase the question....'would you rather keep not losing, or win against lower teams and lose to top teams accumulating more points in the process' my answer is still on balance to accumulate more points.

Based on this I think we may have to loan him from Chelsea...http://metro.co.uk/2015/11/23/chels...alleri-transfer-says-fabrizio-romano-5519307/
