Admin Ian M Posted November 19, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Looking at the League table, although we've always seemed to do ok, we've really stepped up and become a decent side results wise at home.We currently have the best home record in the division averaging 2.44 points per game.All we need to do is improve our current relegation form away from home (1.11 ppg) and an auto place is ours for the taking.

Robbored Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I noticed as well that City's home form is the best in the division, only dropping 4 points so far.Its an unusual fact as in previous seasons teams have come to the Gate and tried to sit back for 90 mins but this season teams seem to be more open.Blackpool,Oldham,Crewe and Doncaster all played City off the park for long periods and today the Gills came at City for the first 30 mins.It makes for more exciting games when the games ebb and flow.Long may it continue.....as long as City keep winning.

I think the good home record is because we've only really played Crewe from the top teams?!?!The stats might prove me completely wrong (which would be good) so be tactful if I'm talking boll.....

PhatWill Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just looking at our upcoming home fixtures and I don't see any problems winning all of these:Carlisle (H) - shit-shocking away record, only scored 5 times - won 1 drwn 4 lst 4. Long way to come on a Tuesday night.Millbrawl (H) - even worse away record and generally crap team - won 2 drwn 0 lst 7!!Bournemouth (H) - In free fall with the clueless IMO Bonds in charge, away record even worse than Millbrawls! - won 0 drwn 5 lst 4Port Vale (H) - Beat them quite comfortably at Vale Park not so long ago, only scored 8 away from home. Mid-table side at best - won 4 drwn 1 lst 4Really should be 12 points from those next 4 home games, in which case our home record would be won 11 drawn 1 lost 1 Somethings bound to go wrong...

I think the good home record is because we've only really played Crewe from the top teams?!?!The stats might prove me completely wrong (which would be good) so be tactful if I'm talking boll.....Over a season, the average position of your opponents will have been 13th if you have finished 1st and 12th if you have finished bottom. Currently our average opposition have been 12.22th. ie, if we are to finish 1st (and average 13th placed opposition) then we've got more lower opposition to play than higher opposition.Although you mention Crewe as the only top side we've faced, it may be worth considering that 2 of the teams we've faced at home are placed higher than them.Gillingham were 10th and in fairly decent form heading into our meeting with them yesterday.

Guest Jan Mollars Gloves Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Somethings bound to go wrong...Following City, we always think that the wheels will come off.Personally, I feel that we arn't playing well at home, but still getting the results.Maybe thats the winning formula.
