This quote from PC made me wonder what the league table would look like if we took away the first six games.
https://www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:league-one/form/matches:10/type
We'd be 4th, 2 points behind Rotherham and Plymouth in the automatic spots. Not too shabby, I think all but the harshest of critics would be satisfied with that.
30 games to go. [Post edited 12 Nov 2021 12:26]

Link to one thread or post where someone is saying we haven’t improved. Just one. |
Just about everyone who replied to my thread a few weeks back:-
6th in the form table (last 6 games) by SouperJim 16 Oct 2021 19:56Clearly not the finished article and need to eradicate the soft underbelly, but despite what the vocal regulars on here say, we are improving.
Keep the faith.
There have been plenty of other examples too, but I didn't bother to get involved so don't have my post history to go back on.
I'm sure you'll split hairs and argue black is white though. | |

Surprised so many people are taking this negatively.
The data demonstrates a turnaround (top 4 form) that most are happy with after a terrible opening spell (relegation form).
As you say, 30 games to go. Fingers crossed we can continue and improve upon the last 10 games form.
No harm in wondering and sharing. |
Thanks for the sensible reply. | |

Your attempt to bait a Kuqi Vs Pablo war in that other thread absolutely failed. I do find you quite entertaining though so carry on  | |

That was a month ago. We've won as many league games since then as we'd managed in the 12 games to that point. We'd literally just rolled over at Cambridge to draw from being 2-0 up. I'm not sure that's the evidence you think it is. [Post edited 12 Nov 2021 21:49]

Yep, because there's definitely no problem with people forming such rabid knee-jerk opinions on where the club is headed based on our form over such a small period of time.
There has been a deluge of people with their knickers in a twist on here after every game we've failed to win and no doubt will continue to be. Modern fans are rubbish.
There's an obvious reason why all the gatekeepers of acceptable opinion have reacted negatively to this thread. [Post edited 12 Nov 2021 22:08]

Modern fans have the ability to tune into the occasional iFollow game hundreds of miles away from Portman Road, devoid of any appetite to travel home or away and then jump on to football forums and constantly correct others who do go to games. Take Herbs for example...
Alternately, you have a Badger who goes to games but then comes on a football forum to talk about football but barely ever passes comment on what he has actually watched.
Incidentally, its worth noting, both still on the fence over Cook...
That's the calibre of poster bringing the post down. |  |

Tell us more about your expert opinion on 9/11 and the official report which you never bothered to read because it was too long.

Are you saying 6 games is too small a period of time to form opinions? |  |

Not to form an opinion, but when that opinion is so binary and delivered so vociferously, it's rather tiresome and stifles sensible debate. Then someone comes along and says hey look, here's clear evidence that we've done quite well over the last 10 league games, and gets met with a load of nonsense and revisionism about the way there has been so much bed wetting on here so far this season. | |

Accusing Badger of going to games is a bit low tbf.
Are you new round here? |  | | |

Yes, you of course have to take the season to date as a whole, but I actually fund this type of chunking the season up fun. For form trends, I often cut the results into blocks of five games. Pointless, but then I am that kind of idiot.
The point is that whichever way I look at this we have improved and I think will continue to do so. For many seasons we’ve tended to fade, but it looks like that may not be the case this time. Have we improved quickly enough and was the start acceptable? I don’t think so and I doubt Cook was far off the sack. He’d have deserved it too.
We are getting stronger on and particularly off the field and after the misery of so many years, I’ll take that. We really need to get out of this rubbish league this season, but if we don’t, we will next in my view. |  | | |

I must say that I can only see the OP as an entirely accurate and positive comment on our decent (and improving) form over what amounts to a ten match league run.
That's a longer period than is usually used when we roughly assess an opponent's 'form' so, objectively, I feel it is a pretty positive indication of pleasing and ongoing progress in its own right. |  |

All we need to do is get the other 23 teams to agree to write off the first 6 games of the season and we'll be golden. |
Not unlike what Wycombe did in the CoVid season then …… |  |

Next 3 games will be interesting, all against top 6 teams. If we can get 5/6 points or more from these 3, then I think it's clear that the improvement has been sustained & at least a run to the play offs should be anticipated. "Lack of motivation" can't be an excuse in these games. |  |
