Re: I make that 3 defeats.......
Correct justin..........in fact adding Billy Davies' record to Paul Simpson's makes for an impressive statistic of just 17 defeats in the last 98 league games.
The real stat that interests me though is can North End gather enough wins/points this season to nail down a top two finish so that we can sit back and watch four other clubs fight tooth and nail in the play off's for the third premiership place?
Three play off exits in the last six seasons is plenty for me thank you. And whilst we have been a very difficult team to beat as just stated, we have not won enough games to claim a top two place.
Simple maths proves that 2 wins and one defeat out of every three game series will probably get us into the prem.................whilst unbeaten runs of 3 games consisting of one win and two draws is only play off material at best.
Possibly automatic promotion form pieman, but not necessarily, eg we took 87 points in those 46 games, and last season for example, 87 pts would not have been enough for a top two finish..............Sheff Utd finished 2nd on 90pts.
Like I say, it is more wins we need, not more lengthy unbeaten runs peppered with loads of draws.
