Happy Fox Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 And we are in the top 2 how does this compare with other teams in previous seasons? Stats courtesy of statto.com 2005-2006 season After 15 games 1) Sheff United - 37 points 2) Reading - 34 points 46 games 1) Reading- 106 points 2) Sheff United - 90 points 2006-2007 season After 15 games 1) Cardiff - 33 points 2) PNE -29 points 46 games 1) sunderland - 88 points 2) birmingham - 86 points 2007-2008 season After 15 games: 1) Watford - 35 points 2) wba- 27 points 46 games: 1) WBA 81- points 2) stoke city - 79 points 2008-2009 season After 15 games: 1) Wolves- 34 points 2) Birmingham - 30 points 46 games 1) Wolves - 90 points 2) Birmingham - 83 points You can see the correlation more often than not the team that is in the top 2 after 15 games usually is come season end. Come on City!
Mark_w Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 In last 4 years the side second after 15 games has finished outside the top two on all but one occasion. Just to balance it out a little.

Stadt Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 But those sides weren't Leicester City! We'll finish outside the top 6. are you deluded? We're getting relegated!
Strokes Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 But those sides weren't Leicester City! We'll finish outside the top 6. Who was second this time last year then?
Carl the Llama Posted 9 November 2013 Posted 9 November 2013 Who was second this time last year then? I believe it was Sarcasm United.
foxfanazer Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 2nd in the league, 9 points clear if 7th place, quarter final of the cup............. lovely!
Number 6 Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Positives for me: -added resilience -capable of grinding out results -drinkwater -moore -Knockaert has improved -some overpaid numpties off the books -some added experience -capable of different formations -we're second and off to a superb start -above QPR who have the best squad by a mile Negatives: -Nugent, does not look himself -not putting games to bed early on -lack of winger cover For me I think we need to have a player capable of a number 10 role. With current squad I think both GTF and Knocks would be capable of this. I'd like to see us sign someone like Hoolahan though. I'd also like to see our strikers working as a partnership: if a cross is coming from the right then one of you go near post, one wait on the pen spot and let the left winger have the back stick. Don't think their positioning for crosses is intelligent enough. Most annoyingly we saw Nuge and Wood doing it brilliantly last January. All in all I am very happy with where we are and feel more confident then I did at this time last season. There are some sleeping giants in this league though and we can't become complacent.

Agree with all this. Good post
