Comparison to last season (11 replies)

Up to this point last season we were sat on 17 points having won 3, drawn 8 and lost just 2 games so we are currently 2 points better off at the same point.

We've scored 2 less and conceded 3 more which probably shows the impact of losing Adams and Morrison but I think overall its been a pretty solid first third of the season and as things stand I can't see us getting into any relegation problems but unless we can continue to perform as consistently as we have in the last 3 games I can't see us troubling the top 6 either.

To trouble the top 6 I think we will need to be within 6 points at Christmas and then go and get a goal scorer plus a back up senior striker in January.

It will be interesting to compare again at the start of 2020 as at that point last season we were neck and neck with the vile on 39 points and 38 points respectively.

Generally I would say we have been more inconsistent this season compared to last performance wise, up until the last 3 games, where we have started to show we can actually knock it around a bit and score some decent goals.

As starts to the season go its probably been a 6.5 / 10. Could we have done better under Monk? Who knows but we've certainly not done any worse than last season!
