League Table 2018/19 | #WeWantSixth

I like these stats. It shows our character. We do not play for a draw.

07/08 DLLWDWLL - 8pts (20pts from 21 games)

08/09 DLLDLWDW - 9pts (26pts from 21 games)

09/10 LWDLDDDD - 8pts (40pts from 27 games)

10/11 DWLLWDLW - 11pts (41pts from 30 games)

11/12 DWLLLDDW - 9pts (40pts from 27 games)

12/13 WDDLLLWD - 9pts (27pts from 27 games)

13/14 LDDLDLLD - 4pts (28pts from 27 games)

14/15 LWWLWLLW - 12pts (46pts (from 27 games)

15/16 LWWLDWLD - 11pts (25pts from 27 games)

16/17 LLLLWWWL - 9pts (30pts from 27 games)

17/18 DLLDLWLL - 5pts (21pts from 27 games)

18/19 WDLLLDWW - 11pts

2nd equal our best for 8 rounds

And that's after a string of poor results after the Jets game.

This probably speaks more about the uneven starts to all our seasons than how well we're playing right now.

I don’t want to change the #avoidthespoon thread title because we’ve been undefeated since I put it there. 

Please don't. 

Not counting chickens but Top 6 at Christmas?

WTF?

with the mariners on 2 and Roar on 6, I'm confident we'll not be 9th or 10th this season. CCM should start planning for justifying their place now I hear the Canberra bid are looking for a squatters license.

So what do CCM offer?

3 points, which I'll happily take ?

It wouldn't have too far to travel...

"A development pathway for young Aussies" is what idiots usually say

Nix have produced one of the greatest/most iconic players in A-League history (Rojas), guy who scored the winning goal in the last Grand Final (Barbs), the current best youngster in the league (Singh), not to mention countless other A-League quality players as well as giving a pathway to NPL Aussies to boot. Agree, this argument’s total shark

CCM have produced a number of Socceroos like Mat Ryan and Mile Jedinak.

But we produce plenty too...

And that's their argument too: "why should we be giving any favours to sheep-shagger youth"

Feverbot, you're giving me a nosebleed. I am not used to us being this high on the table. 

Even further away from he bottom two, who are shark!!!! I'd even go as far as saying that the bottom three are locked in!

Bottom 2 maybe. WSW can still play football.

but it aint winning football is it.

You had one job Brisbane.

It's now a matter of staying close to that leading pack and straying away from City and United.

...Also how long had it been since we had a positive goal difference? ?

Funny you mention that, I was looking into it last night. This is the goal differences of each season after 10 games.

Hardly anyone would've predicted five weeks ago that we'd be on positive goal difference at this point.

or that we'd be 4th, 5 points away from 1st

Not really a fan of the phrase, but next match v. Reds is shaping up as an early 6 pointer in terms of whether we're part of the pacesetters or chasing bunch this year?

Again, who'd have thunk it?

And Brisbane actually missed a penalty against Sydney in 85th minute.  Pressure must have got to them.

VAR faffing around slowing the game up for several minutes after the penalty was awarded to confirm it was a penalty didn't help.
