Redland Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 As we move into 2019 I thought it would be interesting to collate our results for 2018. Including league and cup matches these are as follows:- Played 50. Won 12. Drawn 16. Lost 22. Win ratio 22.4% As we move into the fourth year of LJ's tenure he recently remarked he had "seen off" other managers in the league who had been sacked. Not LJ bashing but surely this is due to the continued benevolence of our chairman rather than results on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zookeeper WSM Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 We're 11th in the league having sold our best 3 players. Where were your expectations pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower than where we are, but still convinced we'll end up lower than where we are. About 14th come May. Anyway, how do you explain only 3 wins (2018) with these crucial players IN the team?

Alessandro Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 This 2018 stat which some like to come back to is a classic case of: “stats can lie” And I like stats. 22% win ratio in 2018 and yet....11th and still in the championship....... Win ratio this season and the one that actually matters - 36%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rocks Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 As far as I can see we are currently the highest placed team in the league which, as yet, hasn’t appeared in the Premier League. Must count for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply reviewing the year as it ends but I agree different time periods will give different results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Very harsh to include 2 games v Man City, a third team v Watford and a reserve team v Plymouth. Its 26% win percentage in the league which has improved as the year has progressed and this season our W column has the biggest number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I included all our competitive matches. It's up to LJ which team he picks and I hardly think Plymouth are world beaters. They beat us at home but are currently propping up league one.

Zookeeper WSM Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Difficult to say as you are clearly one of those who is dissatisfied with where we are and how we've developed over the past few seasons. All I'd say is to take a step back and look at how sacking Johnson would be perceived by the rest of the football world. No one other than our own fans would say we're doing any thing other than performing at the level we should be or above it given our resources and the fact that as you say, selling our best players 'is what we do'.

So fingers crossed we can stay above them and rightly claim the promotion spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
