That's where the frustration sets in. Ipswich and Reading in particular. Against 10 men and conceding in the last minute.

I thought it'd be interesting to see of the three teams who have been promoted in the last few years, where each team has been after 10 games, and how many points they have. Teams with an * going up via the play offs.2017/18Wolves - 4th 20 ptsCardiff - 1st 23 ptsFulham* - 10th 15 pts2016/17Newcastle - 3rd 19 ptsBrighton - 4th 18 ptsHuddersfield* - 1st 22 pts2015/16Burnley - 6th 18ptsMiddlesbrough - 2nd 20 ptsHull* - 5th 18 pts2014/15Bournemouth - 15th 12 ptsWatford - 3rd - 20 ptsNorwich* - 1st 20 pts2013/14Leicester - 3rd 23 ptsBurnley - 1st 23 ptsQPR* - 2nd 23 pts (after 9 games)So in 5 years with 15 teams going up, only two teams have ever been outside of the top 6 this at this stage of the season, and only once has a team going up automatically having been outside the top 6 at this stage. Both of the teams, Fulham and Bournemouth, went on unbelievable unbeaten runs to make up for a poor start. The clear and obvious stat is that to go up, it's extremely difficult to make up for a poor start, hardly anybody ever does it, and most teams who go up average about 2 points in their first 10 games.In short, that hopeless arse Fistface has buggered us for another season.
