| High Scoring / fairly even results | We got thumped or outclassed: apart from vs. Watford | Low scoring / even results | Had we drawn 2-2 with QPR, exactly same points and GD as vs. top 4 teams |
I mean the spreadsheet whilst unnecessary is a help... I think the league table is still a bit hard to take from as it's only 16 games in... If for example we were 30 games in these results would probably represent a much better trend
