Sanguine As above, it is worth pointing out that we have played five of the early top eight in the table, and only three in the bottom half, one of whom is 13th placed Cardiff, and another a strangely struggling Middlesbrough.

As always, are they there because they're good or because they're ok and got an easy 3 points off us?

Green If the OP is arguing that a teams performance over the first 10 games (or indeed any 10 games) is strongly correlated to your performance over 46, then I don't think you need to delve too deeply into the stats to agree.

Hound Why isn’t it
Kelly out - Ejaria in
Bodvarsson out - Puscas in
Barrow out - Boye in?
Which makes it look a lot better
Barrow was let go due to the system Gomes wants to play. Same reason McCleary has been binned.
Haven’t tracked closely but last I saw Bod hasn’t scored a league goal and Kelly had been dropped altogether by their new clubs
Personally I’d have preferred to keep Barrow and McCleary around and play to Puscas/Meite/Joao’s strengths, but that’s a question for the manager not the recruitment

Yeah this. 3 points makes a big difference when it’s not out of very many. We see the same argument every year “oh we’ve played x of the top 8” well yeah, that’s because they picked up an easy 3 points of us to inflate their position.

Soz, Green, not sure that holds up.
Take 2011-12: After 10 games, we were on a distinctly mediocre 12 points (finished 1st)
The next championship season, 19 from 20 and finished 7th.
14-15, its 15 from 10 games and ultimately 19th.
15-16, 18 from 10 games the next season and we actually drop to 17th.
A point less the following year and we end up in 3rd.
My hunch is that an plot of PPG from that first 10 games vs PPG for the season would be somewhat uncorrelated.

Yeah, 4 points is currently the difference between 6th and 12th.
