Ipswich to finish 6th apparently 21:46 - Oct 18 with 2160 viewsMullet



Assuming everything stays the same, apart from the stuff that needs to change like total points etc.

I guess this is heartening, if you refuse to accept that not finishing in the autos is the massive failure it would be. On the plus side, it does show how abject we've been not to maintain any sort of short term ability to get near something resembling promotion form.

Er, that’s expected points for the first 12 games isn’t it? Where we ‘should’ be expected to be now?

that's it, we have the biggest variance between expected points (from balance of play etc etc) and actual points.

Yeah exactly. It has nothing to do with the final table, just shows our poor ability to pick up the points our play deserves

Computers don't have an Ipswich equation either, where 2 or 3 players get injured and QPR recall Bonne and we replace him with a 6'3 donkey from Partick Thistle.

On PPG that would actually have us finishing 3rd, a different variant I've seen us similarly in the play-offs, though with different teams above us. But on a more serious note this is heartening to see, in our previous starts this sort of thing had us midtable despite points on the board. Let's just hope it comes right this time around as well!

Total dunce who needs some hand holding here, but if I’m right the xg etc stats are accurate for the first 12 games and the table has been extrapolated from that right?

So, our xGoalsAgainst is 11.91, third best in the league, yet real world goals against is joint worst in the league.

Just think it’s interesting this then highlights that our poor defensive record is down to individual mistakes rather than what’s expected from our general play eg it’s not systemic, but something else. ‘If we cut out the individual mistakes…’ in data form, no?

You’ve got this spectacularly wrong I think bud.

Pretty sure it’s where we should be after 12 matches with how they’ve gone

Even more depressing than my misreading of it then!

It is, BUT...

doesn't it also show where we could end up if every team keeps playing as they are with no shocks? Never going to happen, obviously, but we are creating enough chances to finish 6th if we play to our full potential, whereas Sunderland are playing well enough to finish mid table if every other team steps up

Precisely this. If anything, we should be encouraged by that table. Continue making more marginal gains in the right direction and we'll be winning those tight contests more often than not - and some of our rivals will slip.

Another thing to add, we've been top in the last 2 seasons in League One. But you can bet your bottom dollar we'd have been bottom half in the Expected Points Table on both occasions. We reverted to our rightful level in both campaigns. This table suggests we've still got lots to look forward to, providing we don't wet the bed just yet.
