[Albion] Are we in a false position?

[dwayne]

I'm thinking we are in a false position as we will finish a lot lower than 8th. I don't think we are as good as many think we are yet and all this talk of being unlucky is rubbish. It's not bad luck to have 2 players sent off in 2 different games and lose them. It's not bad luck that Burnley walked through our midfield and scored last minute. If anything the biggest piece of luck involving us in games this season was for us v Everton.

I'm not moaning though. The footballs been great and we are going in the right direction compared to the second half of last season.

The reason 8 out of 10 of the teams we have played are below us are because we have beaten them. Fact.

Have we won 8 games then Harry ?

So what happened to the saying that the league table doesn’t lie?

You are making that old mistake again, the one where of undermining my careless opinion with unassailable facts. Stop it.

Yes, we should be at least 5th.

We've got 15 points, and are in a position that most teams with 15 points might expect to be, give or take a place or two. So, not a false position..

 

[blue-shifted]

It's about right

I think we're luck neutral and fixtures played neutral

Yes we've played the lower teams, but Spurs, Everton and West Ham won't remain the lower teams. Palace, Bournemouth and Sheff Utd won't remain the higher teams. Our matches so far have been representative.

The two sendings off, as quite rightly said earlier are nothing to do with luck. Intelligence and discipline are part of football. The Burnley equaliser was nothing to do with luck. We didn't take our chances then left a gaping hole in the midfield in stoppage time. Our fault. I actually though that the Connolly pen was fair enough. Keane treading on Aaron stopped him competing for the ball. It was unintentional, but plenty of pens are given away when the defender isn't trying to foul someone. Again, not being clumsy is part of football.

8th seems about fair to me

Think that’s at the end of the season not after 11 games

Had Andone and Mooy not been sent off.If Trossard had not been injured.Had we not been careless against Burnely.Yes for sure we should be higher.
In a 'normal' year however Man U and Spurs would be above us.
