Points required for survival - stat time

[Father Dougal]

Absolutely.

After 19 games we averaged 0.79 points and were 3 points above the drop zone.

Over the last 7 games we've averaged 1.43 points a game and are only 1 point above the drop zone. Thats not far off double our points average from the first half of the season, only to be closer to the relegation zone in terms of points.

This might be of interest - a league table based on the last 8 games (taken from a stat website).

Also worth remembering we only got 30 points last time we were in this league. Anything better than that would be better than most of us expected.

Frustratingly just 4 more points would have been enough to stay up that year. Felt like we were miles and miles off but we weren't.

We needed 7 more that year. We were miles off, because we were garbage and not a team.
