Last season we finished 4th bottom on 49 points. The two relegated teams finished on 42 points a piece.
In 22/23, Hartlepool finished 23rd on 43 points. Crawley and AFC Wimbledon finished 21st and 22nd on 46 and 48 points respectively.
In 2021/22, two basketcase clubs in Scunthorpe and Oldham went down. Oldham finished 23rd on 38 points.
In 2018/19, Notts County finished 23rd on 41 points.
I fully accept that performances will peak and trough throughout the season, but when the season ends, we cannot afford to be much worse than last season.
If we are averaging less than or equal to 1 PPG at the 12, 24 or 36 game mark, it's justifiably twitchy. If we average less than or equal to it after the last game of the season, it could be catastrophic.
I fully understand that improvement isn't linear, but
we don't have much room for a backwards step this season at all.
We have 40 games still to play!

From what I've watched this season.. We look so much better and more quality than last season and actually have a style of play somewhat.
Some of the games so far could of easily swung in our favour and could of snatched games that have gone against us. I don't think we will pull up any trees but don't think we will be in danger either. Ye of little faith.

We have to be more than a point per game club simples. Jeez that's some turgid stuff, I can't see the fans putting up with more of that.

Well, we will have two milestones soon. 11th round away to Salford (1/4 of the season) and 16th round away to Newport which is when we lost PH last season.

I think the non-linear comment is more about progress during the season than from season to season. We certainly regressed last season compared to the previous one but no-one, especially the owners, thought that was ok, and ultimately it’s why they punted Hurst.

And.................?
You can (you should|) at 1/4 stage have a good view on how its panning out, make adjustments if necessary and have the luxury of the next 1/4 to see if the adjustment works. At round 16 you can see if DA is an upgrade to PH or just PH in disguise.

I don't look at seasons that are finished, they are irrelevant, over and done with, this season is all that matters to me at this moment in time. BTW, we are not at quarter stage anyway, as quarter stage would be approximately 11 League matches.
