Over 46 games a 1.79 average would give us 82 points, that total would have been just 3 points short of automatic promotion for the last two L2 seasons. So if we carry on as we have been doing since he came in, with a very very slight improvement, we'd go up.
Since 3pts for a win were introduced in 1981, only Cotterill and Kevan have a higher points ratio than Nolan currently has (and Kevan was only in charge for 9 games, Cotterill for 18).
