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

[LamieRobertson]

No Potter out thread started today either..that’s a relief

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Happy days!

Keep the faith, follow the tracker.

We've hit the 16 point halfway stage target and have a bonus point.

Nice.

Absolutely marvellous stuff. Great to see Ben White have his best game for us against his Parent Club

Great stuff. Really need to follow it up with a win over Fulham now.

ONE AHEAD.

Look at the way we have recovered and got back on target.

Plenty of fight left in these lads.


UTA.

So despite everything, we’re actually on track for more than 40 points and ahead of the tracker.......yet we’ve got a Potter out thread (and contingent) and at least one player eviscerated on here every week (maybe not tonight).

Pretty encouraged after scrapping back v Wolves, giving City a decent game without parking the bus and winning tonight. Happy days, glass def half full.

Current table (assumes Fulham lose to Chelsea). A big 5 point swing back towards Leeds (they lost 3, we gained 2).

At halfway stage, results against top 10 (as stands now) is W1 D2 L7, and bottom 9 is W2 D6 L1. This emphasises that draws have cost us - just beating two of the teams below would be 21 points and almost feet up time in the tracker.

Hugely reassuring, but also disconcerting to know that anything other than a win in the next game, and we're back below the line.

I often turn to this thread for reassurance.

Europe within sight

 

[warmleyseagull]

Bad news. We’re 7 behind.

The tracker works on 3 points at home and 1 away against bottom half including promoted teams. So only 3 wins expected, none of which materialised, But we are far better away and if the tracker is reversed to 3 points expected away and 1 at home, we should be on 24. Doomed.

we are staying up say we are staying up!

Interesting! The basis of the tracker is pretty logical, but it does mean that we need to win seven home games in the second half of the season....which looks a very tough ask. On the other hand, if your point is correct, it understates the points we will pick up in our away fixtures.

This season especially, it might have been better to ‘award’ 2 points for any game against bottom 10. The absence of crowd and the already obvious (by September) that we are hopeless at Amex suggests so.

Having said that, we might just turn it round. 6 wins anywhere will do IMO. This would give us 35 points with no draws, which should be plenty this season, albeit -5 on the tracker. Say a win or two on the road and four at home would do.

I guess there will always be reactionary threads and posts after each game (or sometimes, DURING), but I just try to steer clear of them these days.

There's a reason I take the 'one game at a time' approach and it's games like Leeds. Most Albion fans would've probably written the team off before the game – certainly after the teams were announced – and yet, they got the result and were one of only three (I think) PL teams this season to stop Leeds scoring!

But yeah – Potter doesn't have a clue what he is doing, is completely out of his depth and isn't a PL manager :rollseyes: Even though he got the Albion's biggest points haul IN THE PL last season...

3 points makes a huge difference . .. . roughly 20% difference . . . to my mind we're 3 below, the opposition and season is so unpredictable though

sods law says a draw Vs Fulham, but get something from Spurs . . .who knows anymore.
