Euro 2016 Prediction League Champion!!
So after yet another season where we've fallen away at the end, I figured I'd do a little research to see just how often this happens...
The below table shows the split of points and league position of the first half of the season compared to the second half since the '83/'84 season (taken from statto.com). I've estimated where we'll finish this season.
Only twice in the last 20 years have we significantly improved in the 2nd half. Once was due to Dennis Wise and the other was Huckerby/Whelan/Dion.
