I seem to recall one of our previous managers (and there are many) saying that a good guide of form and a target to aim for is to take the season in slugs of 10 games and as a good indicator strive for 15 points as a sign of progress.
Conveniently we have now played 40 games thus creating 4 periods of 10 games so whether it means anything or not below is a comparison of our season up to last Saturday:
06/08/11 - 01/10/11:
P10 - W1 - D4 - L5 - F8 - A13 - Pts 7
15/10/12 - 03/12/11:
P10 - W1 - D3 - L6 - F10 - A18 - Pts 6
10/12/11 - 11/02/12:
P10 - W3 - D0 - L7 - F9 - A12 - Pts 9
14/02/12 - 31/03/12:
P10 - W4 - D4 - L2 - F10 - A9 - Pts 16
So we have made steady progress since before X Mas but only hitting the magic 15+ points once during the last 10 games.
If we had hit 15 points per 10 games we would now be on 60 points in 9th place just behind Cardiff city !!! or if we had achieved 16 points per 10 games we would be in 5th place behind the resurgent Birmingham.
So the 15 point application certainly positions us top 10 material and is a fair indicator of good form.
