Phoenix rating 14:46 - Jan 4 with 543 views | SaleAway | The thread about winning goals, made me hark back to the "phoenix score". I did a blog about this a few years back.... essentially looking at points won from losing positions... https://www.twtd.co.uk/blogs/21692/phoenix-from-the-flames/#0 This was in the time of MickMc, and we picked up about 30% of available points from losing positions... I just ran the same check on League one... Plymouth Argyle 51.85185185 Bolton Wanderers 38.88888889 Derby County 37.03703704 Portsmouth FC 30.55555556 Sheffield Wednesday 28.57142857 Ipswich Town 28.57142857 Port Vale FC 27.08333333 Fleetwood Town 27.08333333 Exeter City 26.19047619 Shrewsbury Town 22.91666667 Cambridge United 22.80701754 Wycombe Wanderers 18.18181818 Bristol Rovers 17.77777778 Peterborough United 16.66666667 Oxford United 13.88888889 Burton Albion 12.96296296 Charlton Athletic 12.82051282 Cheltenham Town 11.9047619 Morecambe FC 11.9047619 Accrington Stanley 11.76470588 Lincoln City 11.11111111 Forest Green Rovers 5.555555556 Barnsley FC 4.166666667 Milton Keynes Dons 2.083333333 That ability of Plymouth to pick up points from losing positions is a standout... but does that tell us that they are mentally strong..... or performing above their quality, and are likely to drop off.... time will tell, I suppose. |  |

Phoenix rating on 14:50 - Jan 4 with 507 views | homer_123 | As I posted earlier today, Plymouth losing Whittaker is a big deal and will affect them. I've no doubt they'll have a blip in the near future. We just need to up our game again to be ready to take advantage of that. |  |

Phoenix rating on 14:53 - Jan 4 with 498 views | SheffordBlue | They have conceded more than us despite having probably the best keeper in the division this season. Most of the defensive stats such as shots faced, xGA, etc put them in the bottom half. I'm sure it will be something that Schumacher is conscious of and will be working on but if they lose one or two of the players who have rescued them they could find life more dificult |  |
