So basically ...we should ignore the league table until 38 games have been played, because until it's complete, it provides us with absolutely nothing as to how well / poor a club is doing?

Your taking it a bit literally there. In simple terms what I was trying to say was: It ain't over until it's over.

No ones saying that, all we are saying is that it is close at the moment, one week, we are above them, the next we are below them. We will get a more accurate description at the end of the season.

Yeah that's right, Firstof, you've got it spot on there. Of course we shouldn't look at the league table until thelast game has been played. It'll be like opening presents on Christmas day
Look, sorry for the sarcasm, but you're taking the mickey if you think anyone'e saying that. You know full well that's a ridiculous way to surmise Woody's point or my point.
Ridiculous, yes. But I'm no more impressed with the sort of attitude that goes ... ' Hey, two-thirds of the season has been and gone, we're struggling next to bottom of the league, with no consistency, even in our recent form - it's any 3 from 5 for the chop, and we're one of 'em, but..... what's the problem??? Chill out ...there's a third of the season to go yet! '
With apologies for the sarcasm upfront!
I haven't seen that attitude in this thread. I've seen a comment which says we've got QPR, Wolves and Blackburn coming up at home and those are more likely to yield points than a random configuration of any three fixtures. What's so unreasonable about that?
On it's own, no, it's not unreasonable to target those games for some points. I just question us averaging 2 points a game over the 5 games mentioned, when we've only managed to average not much over a point a game all season, or in our most recent 8 games. If we had ' turned the corner ' and were debating this straight after the Everton / Liverpool results, I'd be more optimistic.... but we're still looking for that corner to turn, after defeats to Norwich and Wigan. Many on here (quite legitimately) looked forward to 4 points at least from those 2 games, and we got none. So it's obviously not quite as simple as assuming lower opposition = a certain points return.

Under you mean firstof.
It's 0.8 pts/game.
Yes sorry ...under a point a game for the season, and slightly over a point a game on current form (last 8 games)
I meant last 6 games!! 7 points from the last 6 games!!
From the five games mentioned above, we got 7 points first time around, its not too difficult to see us getting a win against Wolves. It could still go the opposite way, but lets be positive about these games.
