Thought you were positive mate!we are getting relegated
Bristol Rovers were clearly an organised, decent team when we played them but they were in the bottom 4 at the time because they'd played Wycombe and Blackpool before us. Didn't think that result got the credit it deserved. Seems the old cliche of the league table not settling down until 10 games in is true for that.
They didn't create much, aside from the Tom Davies header that was disallowed. They weren't terrible though - they lacked some creativity and JCH was clearly not match fit after missing the start of the season, whereas we used the ball and width very well that day without creating that much ourselves (hence the relief when Kastaneer scored).I thought Rovers were terrible. Don’t remember them having a decent chance?

That was my point though, they'd had a difficult start to the season - missing their main striker, lacking a bit of confidence having not yet won a game at that point. Since then they've P7 W4, D2, L1 and are up to 8th, having not lost at home yet. According to the above stats they count as a bottom 4 team, which they clearly are not.
Celebrate beating bottom of the League just the same as beating top of the League.
They were very poor but you could see they were just finding there feet.I thought Rovers were terrible. Don’t remember them having a decent chance?

We also started against Southend which must rank lowly in the table alphabeticallySaid in the other thread I’m not sure about that methodology at all, Philosoraptors method, while still flawed, seems infinitely better at judging relative quality and seems to fit with gut feel better.

It is self fulfilling a bit that those at the top win more and those near the bottom don’t. Good bit of work thoughSaw this on twitter this morning from Sideways Sammy, thought it was an interesting analysis, albeit you can only beat what's in front of you, and we've played some good side that just havent started well. But some interesting discussion points.

We usually do poorly against the bottom sides, so the fact we've been doing well against them must mean we've improved.
However, it's still too ealy in the season to draw conclusions based on results so far.
Give it another 10 games.
