FT: ROTHERHAM UTD 5 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Re: ROTHERHAM UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Has there been any other occurrences other than ourselves this season, of a team finishing in the top half and losing more games than a team who has been relegated in the same season. We currently have lost 3 more than Huddersfield. I can't imagine that's happened too many times.

In divisions of 20 or more teams, it has happened 23 times in league history.

The joint largest is 3, in the Third Division in 1982/83. Reading were relegated with 17 defeats (only 5 at home) while Sheffield United finished 11th with 20 defeats (and 19 wins).

It has only happened in the second tier on 5 occasions, with 4 of those being a difference of one less defeat for a relegated side and one of 2. If neither or both us and Huddersfield lose, it would be a new record for the second tier.

Thanks.
Must have taken you ages to input all that data.

It was a lockdown project. Copy and paste from a decent source.

Rotherham haven't scored in their last 5 games.

Their goalie, playing his last match for them, is paying for a pint for the first 600 customers in a pub in the town on Saturday.

In what has been a remarkable season statistically, there are 3 possible outcomes with us on 19 wins, 5 draws and 21 defeats.

1) We lose and become only the second side in league history to win 19 and lose 22 games in a season.

2) We draw and become only the 8th side in league history to win 19 and lose 21 games in a season.

3) We win and become the first side in league history to win 20 and lose 21 games in a season.

No one cares bar civil servants and accountants.

It's where we finish and how many we win :thumbup:

In reality the finishing position doesn't matter if it's anywhere from 7th to 21st. The outcome is the same - more Championship football next season.

I think stats are interesting, as you must surely guess.

Does it not bother you that we could, potentially, be the first side in the history of the second tier to finish in the top half, yet lose 3 more games than a side that gets relegated?

Factually, correct, but I'm sure if you're being honest and not just pendatic you prefer finishing 7th in the season than 21st, for obvious reasons.
