Bullivant Vs Rodgers

[Y25]

Stats for the first 14 games in to their careers with Reading.

Games | Won | Lost | Drawn | Win%
14 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 28.57% Bullivant
14 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 21.43% Rodgers

Bullivant's total figures were:

Games W L D Win%
50 15 21 14 30%

Rodgers would have to win 13 of the next 36 to better the Bully.

I know Stats can show whatever you want but these are facts.

Stick that in your oxf*rd dossier!

[cmonurz]

Should that be WDL, not WLD?

[Y25]

Nope - not in this case!

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

hoorah we have only lost 4 games then, the BBC table is wrong to say it is 7.

[Ups and Downs]

I certainly don't remember Bullivant getting 50 games. I'm very suprised by that. Selective memory, perhaps.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

Bullivant took charge of 38 league games, W-10 D-9 L-19

[The Real Sandhurst Royal]

At least Bullivant signed a decent player (Primus) unlike the cast off's' Rodgers has signed.

Where do you get your stats from?

We have played 13 league games and 2 cup games - which one aren't you including?

And the record is:

Won 2
Drawn 4
Lost 7

If you include the cup you can add one more win and one more defeat.

[Compo's Hat]

Rodgers beware!

Against Middlesborough I thought we wuz only a gnat's cock away from, like, nicking that.

ha ha, genius!

I don't think comparing Rodgers to Bullivant is useful, particularly if you compare the start of the season. Bullivant's team started mediocrely, taking up from where it left off under previous management the year before; but he made steady progress, and by the time we beat Birmingham in, I think, January, we were in the top half of the table. The plummet only covered the last three months of the season, when fixtures were running out fast. Rodgers has much more scope to do something about his difficulties.

[Millsy]

After one game in the record-breaking season, Coppell's record was W 0 D 0 L 1 = 100% defeat.

No better than Rodgers.

Therefore Coppell = Rodgers.

Pure fact.

The point is going by the first 14 games of anyone's tenure is pointless.

I won't even begin to judge Rodgers until half a season has passed. Even though I'm itching to say a big fat "told you so" to all the BR lovers who wanted him him, I can't until he's presided over enough games. 14 games is simply not going to provide a fair reflection.

One game =/= statistically significant sample
13 games = statistically significant sample. It is 28% of the season. Shit effort.

Opening 13 game Tier 2 points totals:
Rodgers - 10
Coppell's - 26, 30, 24.
Steve & Alan's - 21
Pardew's - 20
Bullivant's - 13
Jim & Mick's - 15, 14
McGhee's - 24

I wanted to see what it would take for the board to sack him.

At least Oxford won't beat us this season.

[Spud Gun]

I know Bullivant isn't exactly a popular figure (and with good reason), but he did get us to a league cup quarter final. We beat Premier League Leeds on their own patch using a 4-3-3 formation as well.

Rodgers has a long way to go before he can even be compared to Bullivant IMHO ...

Does it take much effort to check your figures? It's not hard to work out we've played 13 league games and you've got us down as 14. All you have to do is check the league table ffs.

Christ it even says as of 18 October, bit of a clue it didn't include the last game isn't it!

[Y25]

I beleive everything on Wikipedia

I certainly can't see us dicking Newcastle, or West Brom 4-0 this season.

The plummet started after the league cup defeat to Middlesbrough, didn't it? I think the injuries sustained during this period were blamed on the lengthy cup runs Reading were on. Bullivant simply didn't know how to cope with the injuries and bought shit players like Andy Legg, Jason Bowen and erm whatisname, we nicknamed him the ginger ninja. And, oh yes, the shitty keeper, Nicky Colgan.
