[Albion] To Avoid De Zerbi Bashing - The Staying Up/Europe Tracker - season 2023-24 - FINAL Update - 8 OVER

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

This beauty shows we have now made the best start of all seasons (after 5 games).

You can see the little hump that Potter leaving caused us in the first few games after his departure. But RdZ soon got into the swing of it.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Staying up tracker a bit pointless under de zerbi. Think 30 points enough this season.

Also, average of 63 points last 22 years gets you 5th / champions league (maximum was 70) so perhaps we could add this

We are 5/6 to finish top 5.

Every REAL Brighton fan, knows that the win on Saturday was merely another 3 points towards SAFETY

I must admit, I looked at the table and did think 'Jut 28 points to go, then.'

I'm looking at Luton, Sheffield United, Burnley and Everton and thinking "is our 12 points enough to stay up?"

Poor old Luton, not exactly enjoying the Premier League experience are they? Perm two from the rest, superb if Everton go down...

 

[Jim in the West]

How can people STILL not understand the rules of the Staying Up tracker?

Points are only "predicted" against teams that finished in the bottom half the previous season and the promoted clubs. Villa and Brentford finished 7th and 9th respectively.

Understood!! And thanks for the reminder

 

[Bob!]

So, how many points behind are we on the Europa League tracker?

 

[Bodian]

No slip up today - still five over, and with four free hits to come.

 

[Giraffe]

Still 5 over the relegation tracker and 5 over Europe after a decent expected win. You may recall from my opening post that these are the same for the first six games. They start diverge from Villa away onwards.

Will post the full league table comparison shortly. Suspect Chelsea might be in the brown stuff...

 

[Giraffe]

Full league table. We are 6th, which perhaps more fairly reflects the teams we have played so far this season than the actual league table?

Chelsea into the bottom three (if teams are level on points I order them how I bloody want to )

Burnley hold the distinction of doing exactly what was predicted in every single game which is lose, mostly. Tough start.

Palace dropping like a stone. A yawning stone. Sooooooo boring.

 

[um bongo molongo]

4 free hits coming up. FOUR!

Only focused on the Euro tracker these days

 

[Giraffe]

I was too fed up to do this over the weekend. The 6-1 thrashing combined with the worst trip back from the Midlands I've had for a long time was too much to take.

BUT still 5 over relegation tracker, dropped to 4 over Europe though. No harm done.

See you in Marseille.

 

[Machiavelli]

The difference between the staying-up and Europe tracker is stark for the next game: expectation of 0 points against Liverpool versus 3 points respectively.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'm probably the exception to the rule, but I see no difference between a 0-1 defeat and a 1-6 drubbing. You've still got nowt from the game and – in this case – the progress is unaffected #TrustTheTracker

Yes, it was clearly a bit of a horror show but, as I pointed out to my Spuds-supporting friend – via a screenshot of their Newcastle away debacle from last season – who was goading me about it, these things happen. One game at a time and onwards and (hopefully) upwards.

 

[Giraffe]

Updated league table. Down to 7th true position. Everton in poop. Man Utd not much better off.

 

[Giraffe]

A bonus point gained yesterday, although two dropped against the Europe tracker.

Six over relegation, two over Europe. Free hit on both coming up at Man City though.

 

[Giraffe]

Now only just behind last season in terms of best starts after 8 games. Reasonable chance to overtake that though as last season we had a little dip coming in the next three games.
