So far its 14 draws this season; and had those draws been converted into Wins or even loses, things this season could have been very, very much different in the current league position.
So what IYO has been the factor that has stopped turning those fourteen draws into wins or even worse!! losses.
-
the fact that the opposition scored the same amount of goals as us in each of those 14 games has been one of the primary reasons for getting so many draws.
-
This could turn into a beat the manager thread...

McLeish Out
-
15 draws this season not 14. we will get 4 more and end up drawing half of our games.
-
It is quite disheartening when you think that, had we won those 15 drawn games, we would still only be third today.

With a soggy Villa sock?

Would be interesting to see the table had it still been 2pts for a win, 1 for a draw.
Would we still be so concerned?
Just off to give it a go
-
If it were two points for a win, where would we be in the table?

Yawn

We haven't looked like winning many of those games.

That settles it, I'm off to open my veins in a warm bath
-
The mindset that a draw is acceptable
-
The mindset that a draw is as good as a win

It thats the case then dont that stat suggest that right at this moment, this club is on a very fine pivot between been a very decent prem outfit, or being regarded as one of the prems also rans this season and next?

Well, I've said it before: if you draw all your games you get 38 points, if you win half and lose half you get 57 points. Risky attacking strategies which might result in more defeats are preferable and always will be while the rule is three points for a win.

Just worked it out.
How sad is that? :-[
We would be exactly where we are now.
The table doesn't change that much either. Everton would be the biggest loser by dropping 3 places with the 3 below going up 1 place. Wigan and QPR would change places and that's it.

Was the Scottish league slower to move to the three points for a win system?
-
You'd think in these days of equality, fair play, respect to match officials and having to treat away fans like fellow human beings, you'd get more points for a draw than for being so nasty as to try and beat your opponents (sorry, maybe opponents is too strong a word to use for the other team nowadays).
Three points for a draw, one for trying hard but losing and nothing for being a spoil sport.

i do see yr point, but third place at this stageof the season would mean CL football on the cards, and i dont think anyone could find reason to complain about that prospect.

The difference recently has been Bent missing - I reckon if available and the defence looking a bit more sound, plus a few more creative people in the side, he would have nicked us 4 more points than we have. On another site the stats of him in and not in the side are startling. Getting him fit and keeping him is vital!

Sad to say, but he'll be gone at the end of the season.
