Having a look at the average points a team in 17th gets, and 38 was the average for the last 10 seasons. The highest being 40 and lowest 35.

So we really want to be averaging a point a game over the course of the season.
We are averaging well below that at the moment (0.73), and aren't in the relegation spots - however, history tells us, that at some point, some of the sides down there will start to pick up points more quickly if it is going to end up similarly to any of the last 10 seasons. Hopefully it can be us!

Heres a graph I've just made showing our points per game this season (blue line) as it progresses
Compared with the points per game for the 2013/14 season where we finished rock bottom on 35 points.
The horizontal lines are where we want to be above at the end of the season if we want to be in with a good chance of staying up.

In 2013 you can see our strong start, then us gradually declining until we brought in Ole and hastened the decline.
We've had a pretty bad start in comparison, but are now only 3 points behind where we were last time, hopefully we pass that soon and stay well above it.
