" 50pts and just over half way! "

Wed Dec 26, 2012 5:07 pm

5pts clear of Hull in 2nd, 7pts clear of 3rd place palace & boro.

2pts ahead of the 2pt a game target, the big 50pts reached after 24 games is currently a great achievement from Malky's bluebirds.

Once again showing the fight that we have in us to come back from a goal down for the umpteenth time this season.

Laying a marker now to any team in this division that we are the ones to beat I believe.

Really don't think we'll lose many more games this season and maybe just maybe we are edging ever so close to a promotion winning or even champion winning season.

We are on course, so lets enjoy the ride!

QPR only had 47 points after 24 games last season.
Season before the Newcastle team that ruined this league had 51 points.
Lets not get too ahead of ourselfs here but it's looking promising! :ayatollah:

I like to compare to previous seasons. The fact that we can now compare ourselves to the Newcastle season is phenomenal. that year they stormed the league and to see that we are nearly on a par with that is EXTREMELY exciting. :ayatollah:

That's a bit of an optimistic thing though because the Newcastle side already had Premier League quality players at the club and made really good signings.

We're a Championship side edging ever so closer to promotion, and if anything what we should be aiming for is a position like Swansea last year, around the middle of the pack. As long as we survive by a couple of points (5-8 I hope) if we get promoted, that's fine by me!

47pts after 24 games. reading only had 39pts, were in 5th place. They still went up as champions.

Readings first half of the season got them 36pts and the second half got them 53pts. Other teams could do this so let's not count those chickens just yet.

But after 23 games. However after 25 games Newcastle had 52 points, now there's the next challenge for the team. They seem to rise to challenges and breaking hoodoos and records.

Anyone one for 53pts from 25 games? When was THAT last done?

Sorry for talking to myself but Wolves had 56pts after 24 games, that's amazing. They went on to get 90pts so that was only another 34pts from 22 games.

Fear the poor second half of a season. :evil:

Think also another important stat is that last season we achieved 19 wins throughout the entire season whilst this campaign we have already sixteen wins with another 22 games left to play this has to be very heartening. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
