Thanks for doing this 60 years a pie. It will be good to see this table after each game as it is the true table due to so many teams having played such a differing amount of games.
Below is the points per game of the teams that have been automatically promoted over the past five seasons.
Barrow = 1.89ppg
Leyton Orient = 1.93ppg
Macclesfield = 2.00ppg
Lincoln = 2.15ppg
Cheltenham = 2.20ppg
This gives an average of 2.03ppg. Our current ppg is 1.67. It’s not enough to get automatic promotion.
This is why along with our performances in games being unconvincing of title challenging, the number of defeats so far and Torquay being so far in front for me our hopes of winning the title are slim at this stage and at best it will be playoffs this season.
We would need to go on at least a four win streak and Torquay lose four in a row to catch them up. It’s not impossible but we didn’t do what we needed to do this season and hit the ground running and have lost to poor sides. So we are playing catch up now which makes it so much more difficult.
