I know its over 30 years since the change to 3 points for a win and we've all forgotten the old system but I thought I'd just do the exercise, as we have had so many draws this season.....so...
Cardiff p 41 pts 56
Hull p 41 pts 51
Watfd p 41 pts 50
Palace p 41 pts 48
BHA p 41 pts 47
Forest p 41 pts 47
Bolton p 41 pts 44
Leics p 41 pts 43
Midds p 41 pts 38
Five games to go and we would still be in the hunt for automatic. In fact five clubs would still be chasing 2nd spot.
It just goes to show how much more important the draw was pre 1981 and now, how winning is everything. At present we are 12 points off second ( 4 wins ) but under the old system we would only be 4 points away ( 2 wins )
We all know we have had too many draws ( 2nd highest in all four divisions ) and this is what has held us back.
All irrelevant, I know. Just wanted to satisfy my curiosity.
