He won't 606 because he loves it. As I said, I'm not going to engage directly any more. I see though he's responded with more of the same, old same old, trying to belittle my "qualifications" and forgetting that on several occasions I've agreed with him that you are indeed more likely to pick up points against lower placed teams, why would I disagree with what is obvious?
In fact, there's no one I've seen whose comments disagree with this very obvious and oft proven statement. My issue has always been around how he then uses that to project potential points, even though you cannot possibly know where a team will be placed in 1, 2 or 3 months time. Shrewsbury could feasibly be lower placed by the time we play them again and certainly those teams "just in" the top half are as like to have slipped into the bottom half by the time we play them again. Similarly, the whole issue stating (for example) Blackpool are bottom half when they were actually top half at the point we played them.
None of it makes any sense. If C78 had simply stuck to the statement "we'll get more points against teams in the bottom than those in the top" no one would bat an eyelid.
Not belittling your qualifications at all, I’m sure they come in very useful in day to day life and look very impressive on your CV.
All I’ve ever said, we have more chance of beating lower placed teams, nothing more, nothing less, now this has proven to be true I’m glad you agree with me. The projection is exactly that, a projection. For some reason people struggle with the basics of the first point and feel like they have to complicate things, no ideal why, you’re best off asking them.
