Best Ever GD (1 Viewer)

[jto123]

From my dodgy ChatGPT research, apparently our best ever GD in a football league season was + 46 in 33/34. Can anybody confirm if this is true and do people think we’ll be able to beat it?

I wondered when was the last time we got this many points in a season.

2-1 is our average score, so logic would suggest at least another 7 to add. With the home games we have it's likely to be more.

Guess we’d need to know how many wins involved for the ‘2’ days to equate for this season?

Those 3 at the bottom were before 3pts for a win, wonder what they would be adjusted to modern standards?

1963/64

Stat Record Points (2-1-0) Points (3-1-0)
Wins 22-- 44 --66
Draws 16 --16 --16
Losses 8-- 0 --0
Total 46 Games 60 pts = 82 pts

So yeah we are on for our biggest ever!

At 3 points for a win 63-64 and 66/67 would both be 82 points and 58/59 would be 84 accoording to my calculations

Sense of symmetry there. Went from div 4 to div 1 in 8 years when it happened in 1967. Same is happening this time (League 2 promotion in 2018)

If we’d finished the L1 season with the same PPG we’d have finished on 90 points.

We'll be hovering just under that before the Sheffield Wednesday game, then we'll smash through it during that game.

Would absolutely love us to fill our boots against them, I mean we did Vs QPR but I think the tedious 'don't humiliate them' message might go round if we get comfortably ahead.

Hopefully people like Haji and BTA will fancy a chance at padding their totals

Good chance for Haji to overthrow Dr Vipotnik. I love dishing out an absolute hammering.

It’s pretty mad seeing us being 10 points clear of that team from 22/23 with 7 games left…

GD could take a beating when we win the league at Ewood park and all go on a 2 week bender (with Frank Onyeka).

TSx

I'd make Norman Bassette come back for the last home game of the season v Wrexham, put him on the bench, get him to warm up, then make him sit down again.

From another thread a while back-

'Just crunched the numbers- I make our highest ever points total (adjusted for 3 points for a win) to be 84 in 1958/9 (2nd place in Div 4).

Got 82 in 1966/7, but over 42 games. Close to 90 pts if we'd have played 46 at the same PPG.'


Plus, in 1935/6 (1st in Div 3 (S) ) we had 57 points, +57 GD and would have got 81pts from 42 games if 3 pts per win, so just shy of 66/67.
