Who will get promoted this season?

[St Landrew]

Falling away from contact with the play-offs can be explained VERY simply by this run of results :

 

Match Date Opponents Venue Result Position Points

24 28.12.2009 Colchester United away L1-2 13 28

25 16.01.2010 Millwall away D1-1 13 29

26 26.01.2010 Brentford away D1-1 15 30

27 30.01.2010 Stockport County home W2-0 11 33

28 06.02.2010 Exeter City away D1-1 12 34

29 20.02.2010 Norwich City away W2-0 12 37

30 23.02.2010 Wycombe Wanderers away D0-0 11 38

 

We got 10 points in 2 months from 7 League matches (6 of them were away!!!), but because we were still winning Cup games no-one really noticed. Saints beat Luton, Ipswich and MK Dons twice in that period.

 

In the meantime, there were a minimum of 21 points up for grabs in the league and some other sides also played more league games than us at the time.

 

We now have a run of home games to compensate for the run of aways.

 

Yes indeed. Those are the results. I was attempting to explain why those results came about. Although, as you point out, Saints played a few more away games than at home.
