What is the simple direct question I’m being accused of dodging?
Ok... here's a few for you... If we play a team in October and they are 6th you count this as a hard game, correct? If they then drop to 16th, you change your previous assessment and make it an easy game, correct? Do you agree with the statement that a game cannot be hard one week, then change to easy after it has been played? If you answer yes to all three, can you see how rubbish your projections are? Note: I am not disagreeing that we will probably have taken more points from the teams that FINISH in the bottom half come SEASON END. So the big question... When you make a statement that there are EASIER games to come you are basing that on the teams position in the table AS WE ARE ABOUT TO PLAY THEM. Do you not agree then that to judge how we will do in these games, your "previous history stats" HAVE to be based using the same condition, ie. BASED ON THE POSITION WHEN WE PLAYED? Sorry to shout but thought a little extra emphasis may focus you

Oh dear, prediction and projection are two different things.
Similar, not different. You project with facts, you (should) predict with the same facts but add your own gut feeling. Hence why I questioned how you can get to 60 points (your prediction) when your projection only gets us to 51.

Yeah, I'm not offended or frustrated by it anymore. I can be just as stubborn I guess and though I have belief in my convictions I am willing to accept what is obvious - even in what he is saying - there's pieces of truth in there. It's just not the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! A bit like Stats, more stats and damn stats. All of which can be manipulated to suit an agenda.

That point has been covered before Was. Simply, he has no faith in his own statistical methodology. That's why he makes the distinction between what his analysis is telling him and what he actually thinks, and calls one a projection and one a prediction.

TBF he's got 45 pages and counting out of this sh*t, so he's a prize wind up merchant. The conviction and stubbornness of those arguing is just as funny. Sometimes it is better to know you are right and walk away with some people.

Agreed! But it’s nice to spread a bit of knowledge also.

I do say yes to each question. Now what are you going to do? Especially as I’ve been proved to be correct.

I think everyone has missed the main fact.
Earlier in the season we were diabolical. Worse defence in the country and couldn't even muster a shot.
Now, we are The mighty Teyn and it really doesn't matter if the games are easy or hard, as we'll win them anyway.
Game over.
Town Owl over and out.

That's because it's a completely different team, just as most other teams will be very different. This team we have now is top half.

If you answered yes to all then youve basically agreed the method you use to project is worthless. Mission achieved.

In all senses of the word, that was one of the hardest games we've played all season. Got absolutely nothing out of it.

Just goes to show there are no easier games in this league. Oh hang on, I must be in the wrong thread.

Absolutely baffling. I’m away at the moment so unable to update the stats, however, I guarantee we’ve still got more points against the easier teams than the harder teams.
