[Albion] To Avoid Potter Bashing - Staying Up Tracker - 2020/21 - Game 38 Update - 1 OVER

[n1 gull]

So we weren't expected to do well, and have actually managed to do even worse?

Yep, now you've got it!

I always think "expected" should be in quotation marks. I've never suggested that I expected (no quotation marks) these results. But they are "expected" based on the formula used.

I hope that clarifies what this "expected" means. I expect so anyway.

That’s an extremely negative way of looking at the current state of play. Accurate though.

or @ 1.0526 PPG we're 2.42 behind, slightly less gloomy.

Going by the same criteria used for the Brighton tracker, yes: Win against bottom half at home and draw against them away, and lose every game against the top half.

It's NOT "expected" points, it's just an easy-to-follow target per game to reach 40 points.

I get it in relation to us and predicted results and getting to 40 points

I don’t get it for the other teams. For example, Leics have 18 points but this table says that’s 10 too many and they should only have 8?! That would place them above us in 15th

Liverpool should have 9 less (ie 8 points?) etc etc

Me no understand

The 'expected' is 40 points.

edit:40 points because it is a 'staying up tracker'

So to get those 40 points Leicester would need to take 4 points from each of the bottom ten clubs, 3 at home and 1 away..... and no points from the rest of the top ten.

Thanks for attempting to explain

I will give up as clearly everyone else understands except me!!!

I will just enjoy the thread in terms of how we are doing and our chances of staying up. I won’t worry about Leicester

 

[One Love]

I really like this.

However I would have by now taken Everton out of the teams we're getting points from and put in Sheffield U.

Just to make it more accurate.

The issue is when this tracker is applied to all Premier league teams, the "expected" end of season position is a 20 way tie for the title and or relegation spots with all teams finishing on 40 points.

Obviously that isn't going to happen, but as a way of gauging how well teams are really performing against their current league position, it's as good as any method.

Whilst that’s clearly not how this works, it is a way to make us feel a bit better. If we swap Everton and Sheff Utd, then we’re only two points behind

Until we then swap Southampton and Villa and Leeds as well...

 

[Bodian]

We’ll make up those 3 points in the next 2 matches by beating Villa and drawing with Liverpool.

Good call so far!

 

[Rogero]

wow! great result.

 

[Giraffe]

Back in the game. Lovely. Cracking goals from Danny and Solly today. I'm calling them Dolly. Brighton's latest great celebrity couple. Let's have more Dolly.

Just one behind.

 

[Reddleman]

We are only forecast to get 6 points from the next 10 games. Looking at today’s performance I suddenly have a lot more belief. Amazing what a win does.

 

[CaergybiGull]

And, like Ms Parton, they were immense up front...

 

[Weststander]

I reckon today will be a season changer, we go from being a losses and draws team, to WDLWDL or something like that.

Hoping.

Better than Sanny, anyway...

Was a wonderful performance & result but wouldn’t get too excited. Only our 5th win in 2020.

I say 21 points before we play arsenal ����
