Only drawn 2 games this year, out of 21 ?! Lowest amount in the division.

7 points of play off spot.

Don’t remember a year like it, we basically win or lose.

A few draws and we would be having a decent enough season all things considered

Thought it was worth a mention!

And I think we'll pick up a decent amount of points over the next few games having started at Derby.
 
I was thinking this the other day - didn’t Bristol City have a similar season last year? Crap all season, but were still in the running come the end of the season.

Think so. I do think it’s a rarity for teams that lose a lot manage to get promotion- but it does happen, of course. But it’s nice to feel we’re in with a chance.
Generally speaking though, the more solid teams sitting lower down because of “too many” draws - they do tend to rise up over time.

You're assuming we'd be converting some of our losses into draws.

But our 2 draws started out as winning positions.

Weren't Huddersfield promoted with a negative goal difference?
 
Think it will go as 18/19 did. Poor start (although that was a really bad one and think AN could've gone if that last minute Villa pen had been scored in the mad 3-3) then really picked up for next few months with Robbo in great form (Sinclair doing similar recently) and then it tailed off when he did his hamstring and was out for 4 months (again Sincs but let's hope this is nowhere as serious).

Certainly don't expect anything near 6th place. Really top 6 is going to be the 3 relegated teams who are all comfortably up there and then Brentford, Swansea and one of Stoke/Boro who are pretty similar in style.

Really given budgets AN would have performed minor miracle to finish above any of them seeing as how with this policy signing Jamal Lowe for 2.5m or Stephen Fletcher on a free is seen as never impossible signings to make. Other clubs do it and will likely finish top 6.
