I guess losing out on a striker target may have meant other opportunities were missed, and only getting one game out of the one we did get is less than lucky. But as I said at the time leaving things to the last day is a poor way to run any business.

Just playing with some figures

First 15 games, W9 D3 L3 30pts
Next 15 games, W6 D6 L3 24pts

Trend/recent form if anything is downward so without some turnaround in fortune we'll be lucky to match 24pts in the last 16 games.

We are still living off the unbeaten 25 out of 27 points run at the beginning of the season (9 games) and we need to reproduce it if a decent shot at getting out of this league is going to happen. We don't seem to be showing signs of that though but best judge when everyone is over this bug. Maybe Smudge needs to find some strikers boots for a few games.
