Tapeworm Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 Approaching half the league matches completed for some teams, about time to examine relative performances, as at Sunday 16th June:- 1. Workington +5 (5M - 0H/5A) 2. Lakeside +4 (6M - 4H/2A) 3. Peterborough +3 (9M - 5H/4A) 4. Ipswich +2 (4M - 2H/2A) 5= Edinburgh +1 (5M - 2H/3A) 5= Glasgow +1 (7M - 5H/2A) 5= Berwick +1 (9M - 5H/4A) 8. Newcastle -1 (9M - 4H/5A) 9. Sheffield -2 (6M - 3H/3A) 10= Scunthorpe -3 (5M - 4H/1A) 10= Redcar -3 (9M - 3H/6A) E&OE Underlines how crucial away wins are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough are +5 - home loss, 4 point away win, away draw, two away ‘consolation points’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solidmango Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Genuine question, how relevant is this to the actual league table? I.e do these figures have any bearing on things or is it more for a form guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapeworm Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Another way of looking at this table is:- If all teams win all their remaining home matches and pick up no points away from home, this is the order in which they will finish in the League. However, in general terms, losing at home will drop them down this order but gaining points away from home will lift them up the table. So, as Neil Watson said, it is a good way of comparing teams with varying numbers of home and away matches remaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
