Opponents points per game 18:00 - Mar 8 with 796 viewsnoah4x4

Very interesting table this....

http://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england4&tid=10

It shows the average points per game achieved by any team's remaining opponents.

It is perhaps a guide to the perceived difficulty of that team's run in. With a quarter of the season to go, it is obviously more statistically significant data than if only two games were left, and my appraisal below is just aimed at provoking debate!

Amongst the top nine in the league table, the U's will face teams with amongst the lowest average points per game (1.32). The cynic might suggest that is because they have not played us! But does it offer us an advantage?

If this is extrapolated forward, their average 1.32 might suggest 1.68 per game is likely for us. Sadly, we are going to have to do much better than that!

With 11 to play, that would give us 51 + (1.68 x 11) = 69.48 points.
We will evidently struggle to catch Doncaster already on 69!

But consider the others in play off contention above us.

Luton 57 + (11 x {3 - 1.47} = 73.83
Stevenage 55 + (11 × (3 - 1.50}) = 71.50
Exeter 54 + (11 x {3 - 1.35}) = 72.15
Mansfield 52 + (11 x {3 - 1.72}) = 65.75
Colchester 51 + (11 x (3 -1.32)) = 69 48

This is evidently going to be tough! But somebody is bound to slip up.

But we are third in the home form statistics across the season and with seven from eleven to go at home....fingers crossed.

Interesting stuff noah.
If it wasn't for our injury list I would be confident but at the same time what an opportunity for our younger players and really positive to see five acadamy products on the pitch last saturday.

It was always going to be difficult after such a long run without a win earlier this season but if we do make the playoffs with the injuries we've had it will be a miracle. One game at a time, starting with Saturday, and perhaps we will witness something very special.

Poll: Safe standing at football; yes, know or don't know?
