StrandedLoafer How many seasons have we been lucky to have not gone down only because despite how atrocious we've been there have somehow been 3 worse teams then us?
How long can we keep treading this thin line?
Who knows but an interesting* point when looking at the table, shows just how poor the bottom 3 have been in failing to really take advantage of us being so shit.
On 2nd Jan, the current bottom 4 had the following points
Reading 21
Peterborough 19
Barnsley 14
Derby 10
After today
Reading 29
Barnsley 25
Derby 24
Peterborough 23
So, despite picking up 8 points from the last 42, we have actually doubled our lead over the bottom 3. We are 2 points better off than we were going into the Derby game on the 3rd Jan.
Despite us being atrocious, Barnsley have only clawed back 3 points and Derby 6 in 14 games, whilst we have opened up a wider gap to Peterborough.
It is absolutely crazy. Our luck has to run out at some point.
In answer to how many seasons have we been lucky to stay up, it's definitely two, maybe three or four. Plus this one if we survive.
