League Table 2013/2014 Season

striking distance.....

Damn, that's a congested middle-table.

That much-improved goal difference after the MV game will work miracles for us once we win a couple more games. We seem to be improving while Sydney FC is slipping down; and the Jets are in turmoil and may have a stumble too, after GVE sacking. Adelaide on the other hand are getting back in a better shape and will be harder to move past.

so really we could get into 5th place

Now 17 points in 11 games

Very, very achievable.

07/08 - DLLWDWLLLLWLDDLW - 16pts - DWLLL - 20pts (21 games)

08/09 - DLLDLWDWLLWWWLDW - 22pts - LWLDL - 26pts (21 games)

09/10 - LWDLDDDDDDWLWDWL - 20pts - DLDWWWLLWWW - 40 pts (27 games)

10/11 - DWLLWDLWLDLLWLLW - 18pts - DLWLWDWLWLWWLW - 41 pts (30 games)

11/12 - DWLLLDDWLWWLWLWL - 21pts - WWWWLLWWDLL - 40 pts (27 games)

12/13 - WDDLLLWDWLLDWLLL - 16pts - LDWLLDLWLWL - 27 pts (27 games)

13/14 - LDDLDLDLLLWWWDWL - 17pts

Jeez, even with that good run we are still slumming it  - only one point better than our worst start(s) to the season ever.

Only 5 points off our best ever though.

Hard to believe that even at this stage there is only 6 points difference between our best and worst ever season.

8th spot !!

"eieieio

up the A-League ladder we go

when we get to Asia, this is what we'll sing

we are the fever, the yellow fever

and Ernie is our king"

Now come on West Sydney...

I'm starting to sneakily eye that 4th spot....

We're 8th for the week, we're 8th for the weeeeek.

You're next Perth Glory, we're 8th for the week.

Taking into account the Victory have played an extra game, 4th to 9th are effectively covered by 2 points. Wins in the next couple weeks will put us in a strong position to challenge for 4th place.

new table to purve at please

Next round:

SFC v ADU

MBH v PTH

NUJ v WPX

a couple of draws in those first two games (or Heart beating Perth), and a win for us = 'Nix 5th, and if CCM beat MBV, also only one point off 4th

some-one better anti-jinx that wishful thinking, pronto

We have the 3rd best goal difference in the league!

The run in. with home/away fixtures, and the total position of teams to play (higher = easier) and the points those teams have (lower = easier)

Wellington Phoenix (4 home, 6 away) (Pos 69, pts 200)

Newcastle Jets (A)
Melbourne Heart (H)
Central Coast Mariners (A)
Adelaide United (A)
Perth Glory (H)
Melbourne Heart (A)
Newcastle Jets (A)
Adelaide United (H)
Sydney FC (A)
Melbourne Victory (H)

Adelaide (4 home, 6 away) (Pos 55, pts 234)

Newcastle Jets (A)
Melbourne Heart (H)
Central Coast Mariners (A)
Adelaide United (A)
Perth Glory (H)
Melbourne Heart (A)
Newcastle Jets (A)
Adelaide United (H)
Sydney FC (A)
Melbourne Victory (H)

When I look at this, there is a real chance to put in a strong run because I believe that those 8/10 games (Jets x2, Heart x2, Adelaide x2 and Perth x1, CCM x1 Sydney x1, Victory x1) are winnable (and by that I mean a combination of our form, their form, table position and H/A)

Perhaps the rubbish draw on Boxey's bitch has actually worked in our favour?

Could argue that both Adeliade and Heart are better than they were in the first few months. And we still have to play each of them twice.

I think all the games are winnable but none can be taken for granted, not even heart at home. If the players keep playing well we will make the top 6, at this stage we don't have to worry about what other teams do. I just hope we can keep the form up and maybe build a buffer quickly to take a little pressure off for the last few games.

but have the roar peaked to early. I mean look at victory

On average, our opposition have 20 points. Victory, CCM, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle all in the 23-24 mark. Our average opponent will be in 6.9th place. Perth (4.9), Sydney (5.3), Newcastle (5.4) Adelaide (5.5), CCM (5.6), and Victory (5.8)

I have no idea what your post means.

Is there any chance of getting some lotto numbers?

07/08 - DLLWDWLLLLWLDDLWD - 17pts - WLLL - 20pts (21 games)

08/09 - DLLDLWDWLLWWWLDWL - 22pts - WLDL - 26pts (21 games)

09/10 - LWDLDDDDDDWLWDWLD - 21pts - LDWWWLLWWW - 40 pts (27 games)

10/11 - DWLLWDLWLDLLWLLWD - 19pts - LWLWDWLWLWWLW - 41 pts (30 games)

11/12 - DWLLLDDWLWWLWLWLW - 24pts - WWWLLWWDLL - 40 pts (27 games)

12/13 - WDDLLLWDWLLDWLLLL - 16pts - DWLLDLWLWL - 27 pts (27 games)

13/14 - LDDLDLDLLLWWWDWLW - 20pts

Equi-distance from our best and worst seasons now, but only headed in one direction...

Will be doing well to match 11/12 over the next few weeks though.

Why? 5 wins, a draw and 4 losses... We should be doing better than that with our remaining games I hope.

'Few' meaning a small number, like 3, not the rest of the season. In 11/12 we went WWW over the next 3 rounds.

That said, a return of 16 pts (5 wins and a draw) from our last 10 games would probably be good enough for the play-offs.

Love it!
