I think there are more competitive sides in the league this season, hence why the points tally is less
That's what I mean, Alot of decent sides this season and quite a few who've bolstered their squads from last season including us...I reckon you could go through any league in the world and you’d struggle to find an 8 point gap between top and 12th
PL - 33 points
Championship - 16 points
L2 - 20 points
NL - 15 points
NL North - 20 points
NL South - 20 points

I think with this very squad in the division last season we'd finish higher than 8th

I mean a McCallum shot from outside the box.Not sure why but think it will be a tough game today. I’ll go for 1-1 with ours coming from a Godden penalty.
Do you not think it shows there’s not much difference between the best side and the 12th best side - which wouldn’t be a sign of a good league as in every other league the top side are much further ahead of 12th position?
Not really, I believe for example the Premier league is not nearly as good as it was say 10/15 years ago hence why Liverpool are 20 wins from 21 games and miles ahead of 2nd and 3rd
Although of course arsenal went an entire season undefeated in 2003/4...Not really, I believe for example the Premier league is not nearly as good as it was say 10/15 years ago hence why Liverpool are 20 wins from 21 games and miles ahead of 2nd and 3rd
Shouldn’t the top teams be much better than 12th?
Give or take some fluctuation I'd imagine it will be around 20/25 points between automatic and mid table come may
Although of course arsenal went an entire season undefeated in 2003/4...
How about now? Don’t you think after 24 games there should be a clear class difference between top and 12th as there is in every other league?
Some teams will fall foul to injury and naturally fall to their level .. Double that now its 16 add some bad form etc it will end up around 20/25
I agree Liverpool are on fire this season. Arsenal weren’t such an attacking team though tbf, they were more content to get a draw than Liverpool this season. Maybe if they’d been more attacking they’d have got more wins. Maybe.They did, 26 wins 12 draws 90 points
Liverpool have 20 wins after 21 games
I’m asking about now - every other league there’s far more than 8 points between top and 12th - also we’re over half way through the season
True, and I've already said I think it's a far more competitive season but by May I think the difference will be around 20/25 points... That's 7/8 wins
It’s competitive because there’s a lot of average sides not because there’s a lot of good or very good ones
You can be more competitive without being worse...
I watched Luton pompey Sunderland and Barnsley last season home and away and I didn't think they were all that much better than we are right now
A lot of overreaction, particularly behind me during the game!
No because as I’ve pointed out at this stage of season there should be a clear difference between the top team and the 12th best team, in every other league there is, in our league there isn’t.
Our 41 points this season would have us 8th last and 13 points off top - I’m aware we have a different team but then if this team would have competed with the top teams last season shouldn’t they be top of this league by some distance?
But I think we would have done better last season with this team...? It's a different league this season I'm not sure why you are drawing the comparison... We are 3 off top with a better team and that a reflection
Also why should their be a clear difference?
There is only a 4 win difference between top and halfway in the Spanish league and the German league too... That's not a big gap is it?
The gap between European football and 15th in the prem is 8 points
Do you think the top teams are stronger or weaker than last season in League 1?
It's hard to say, I think this Coventry team is no weaker than what I saw of Luton last season? It's a different league?look at pompey they have pretty much the same team but are doing much worse
Liverpool and man City have the same starting 11 s nion as last season and yet there is a 17 point gap? Last season city were top... Its a different season
Using your logic pompey should be walking the league this season
You think we’re as good as Luton last year?
Ifollow or not your commentary mate is missed
Sam booking came from Zain not winning his 'duel'... which used to be called not putting it in!
I think the reason Luton did so well last year is that there were worse teams throughout the division.
Let me ask you if your opinion of the league being worse is true, then why are Portsmouth not pissing the league as they only finished 6 points off Luton... They have Alot of the same players?
And yes I don't think Luton would get anywhere near 94 points this season in league 1 with that team
Luton doing well was not down to them being good but because there were weaker teams?
Well it makes complete and utter sense in the same regards that pompey aren't walking the league this season despite having a similar team that pushed Luton at the top
