League Table 2019/20

sydney almost untouchable at the top now? rest of the teams fighting for 2nd. Only 10 points separate Roar and City. Going to be n interesting second half of the season.

Everything this last weekend that could not have gone in our favour did exactly that. 3 scores from second place, now 5 points.

Roar climb from 7% to 8.3% with that win against us.

Thanks for this interesting set of stats RR.  It is uncanny how similar we look to both the Victory and the Bitumens in this graph.

I think I might enjoy FeverBot's next post...

is it just me but based upon the above is there fudge all draws in this league?

I mean, they're objective facts, so it's not just you.

Not as much reason to fear losing because of lack of relegation.

Yeah, there was a quote from Heskey about the league just after he left and it was something along the lines of teams have a suicidal tendency to attack.

no risk if you lose - so it makes sense that you chase the win.

Roar are making a strong push for 4th, they are on a very good run atm

0-0 draw between City and Perth isn't a bad result for us going into a bye next week. Doesn't look like anyone is catching Sydney so neither team getting away from us from this game is good.

results going our way this week

Not if Adelaide and WU win, and after only one game.

We should be looking ahead not worrying about those behind.

whoops read the WU v ADL result as this week instead of last....

Sydney are the Liverpool of the A-League

Except that it hasn't been 30 years since Sydney last won the league :)

Almost perfect results for us. Shame about Perth's 90th minute equaliser

Perfect set of results I'd say.  City (having played one game more) and Perth within striking distance, a decent 5 point gap from 4th-7th and Victory are kept at arms length way back in 8th, which I'm not gunna lie, brings a smile to my face.

Now to roll Perth in the West next week and all will be good in the world (of football).

If we hadn't lost to Brisbane we would be second now.

If we had won every game this season we’d be in 1st place. What could have been!

If we won our bye even

Not a bad round of results that! Very much in our own hands

Adelaide's next 6 games are against all 6 teams that are below them on the table. Expect them to make a push into the top 4.

Our next 4 are the 3 teams above us and WU. Hopefully it isn't at our expense!
