Record Watch 2016-17

Update.

Teams that can still better 106 points are:

Brighton 114
Newcastle 113

[Royal Ginger]

I wouldn't be overly bothered if Newcastle did it, but please not Brighton.

[paultheroyal]

No team will go on a run to get even close...

[genome]

Brighton are 9 points off record pace at this stage. We were also 18 points clear of 3rd at this point too, and would win 4 of the next 5.

[harry]

They have 60 points from 28 games, just over 2.1 p.p.g..
To beat the 106 they need to get 47 from the remaining 18, just over 2.6 p.p.g..
15 wins, 2 draws and a defeat = 47 pts.
That's a hell of a run-in.

Even in 2001-12 with that incredible run we only managed 14 wins & 2 draws in the last 18 for 44 pts.

I won't be happy until it's mathematically safe though,

[TFF]

15 wins, 1 draw and a defeat...

[harry]

15 wins, 1 draw and a defeat...

for Brighton

15 wins & 2 defeats for Newcastle

[Elm Park]

15 wins, 1 draw and a defeat...

for Brighton

15 wins & 2 defeats for Newcastle

And Brighton play Newcastle on the 28th

Update.

Teams that can still better 106 points are:

Brighton 114
Newcastle 113

Don't forget, this is a league record so you have forgotten
Sheffield Utd. 108
Scunthorpe 109
Doncaster Rovers 113
Plymouth Argyle 111[*]

[JC]

Now it is

Newcastle 111
Brighton 110
Huddersfield 106
Sheff Utd 106
Doncaster 108
Plymouth 108


and Brighton play Newcastle in a couple of weeks

[genome]

At this stage

1. Reading P31 Pts 76
2. Sheff Utd P31 Pts 69

1. Newcastle P31 Pts 66
2. Brighton P31 Pts 65

So even Sheffield United were doing better at this point.

Tbf, Utd would have won the league almost any other year, wouldn't they?

They finished with 92 points that year, so a quick look through Wiki shows:
Year - Winner - Points (Runner up and points if more than 92)
06-07 Sunderland 88
07-08 WBA 81
08-09 Wolves 90
09-10 Newcastle 102
10-11 QPR 88
11-12 Reading 89
12-13 Cardiff 87
13-14 Leicester 102 (Burnley 93)
14-15 Bournemouth 90
15-16 Burnley 93

So of the 10 completed seasons since 05-06, only 4 teams have bettered Sheff Utd's 92 points in 05-06.

And only two scraped past 100

If Barnsley beat Brighton on Saturday, we can prevent them from beating our record when we meet them. Depending on Newcastle's results we could do the same to them. Wouldn't that be a fabulous couple of games, and give our fans something to sing about. Something along the lines of "We still got the record", will really annoy both sets of fans.

To be brutally honest, no other set of fans could really give a shit.

... and the fact that we are 4th (happy guys, not 3rd) in the league after some otter dross for the last couple of years, should be more than enough for us to "sing about".
