We're ten games in now, and I thought I'd use Rich Banyard's wonderful site to see where we were after ten games in the last ten seasons, to see if there's STFC evidence to support the Bristol Rovers/Donny slow start late charge thing that is oft quoted.

2023/24
Ten games in: 6th
Finished: 19th (-13)

2022/23
Ten games in: 8th
Finished: 10th (-2)

2021/22
Ten games in: 5th
Finished: 6th (-1)

2020/21 (L1)
Ten games in: 20th
Finished: 23rd (-3)

2019/20
Ten games in: 4th
Finished: 1st (PPG) (+3)

2018/19
Ten games in: 9th
Finished: 13th (-4)

2017/18
Ten games in: 7th
Finished: 9th (-2)

2016/17 (L1)
Ten games in: 18th
Finished: 22nd (-4)

2015/16 (L1)
Ten games in: 14th
Finished: 15th (-1)

2014/15 (L1)
Ten games in: 2nd
Finished: 4th (-2)


So in ten years we've moved more than four positions in either direction after ten games once (last season, when we bombed) and we've moved UP only once, and only by three spots, which was the Wellens PPG season.

It's pretty grim reading. Good thing our manager isn't a data guy or this would get him down!

The good data news is recently we've averaged 1ppg. So we are on track for 44 points. Which wouldn't take a significant shift to be definitely safe.

Oh wait, that's not really good.

It's been like a roller coaster ride really. And by that I mean one where you are sat like a lemon in the 'station' in a broken carriage watching everyone else in the park having loads of fun. I guess all it takes to get it working is for the operators to 'change their mindsets'

Kennedy's win % is now 8.3, which is the same that he achieved at Macclesfield.

Consistent. What more do you want.

This is going to sound silly, but I think we are going to beat Cheltenham.

Good Monday night panel last night. Few spoke very well - especially the panel member Mark who was very damning of Kennedy. Can really see the hurt and pain amongst fans who go every week. The hardcore aren’t putting up with it anymore

I misread that original and thought it had us finishing 23rd!

If it was that easy the team with the biggest budget would win the league ever year.
That doesn’t happen.
