....the Yeovil game already be seen as a relegation six pointer?
On our present form we'll accumulate 46 points which is not enough to stay up.....of more concern is that we now haven't scored in an away game for 5 consecutive games, since Grunt Sniff's header at the Dongs.
These are the kind of stats you can only find in disaster seasons like 73/74 and 99/00.
I know the games span two different seasons, but do point to a weakness that King hasn't properly addressed over the summer.

If you do a bit of research over the seasons of the 21st Century, then the points total , gathered after 4 games extrapolated does give a reasonable correlation of how the season ends up......of course its not a perfect match.

I was not at the game yesterday but having seen the football league review it looked a stone cold penalty for a challenge on Rory.

Ive was interested so have taken a look at the tables back to the 00/01 season and was quite suprised to see how our position at the end of August (I realsise its not yet) relates to our final position
04/05
In August we were 11th and finished 12th
03/04
In August we were 8th and finished 5th
02/03
In August we were 18th and finished 10th
01/02
In August we were 14th and finished 13th
00/01
In August we were 23rd and finished 20th
So bar 02/03 where we were placed at the end of August is near enough where we have ended up.So it would seem that this game is a six pointer after all for both teams especially when you consider that the team at the bottom in August has been relegated 4 out of 5 seasons over the same time.

Yeah but
1996/97 In August we were 8th, finished 19th
1997/98 In August we were 4th, finished 18th
1998/99 In August we were 2nd, finished 17th
and Bristol City were 20th in August and finished 7th and Blackpool and Franchise were in the relegation zone but neither were relegated. So it doesn't always work like that.
