What has the points tally since December got to do with anything? You're choosing this period arbitrarily.

I replied to your post where you said that those who thought the team were capable of promotion earlier in the season had gone quiet, pointing out these stats:

Under Austin: 10 games = 7 points. 28 games of this form would have seen us firmly in bottom spot.
Under Curle: 18 games = 26 points. 28 games of this form would have seen us sitting from 8th-9th.

We have only lost 3 league games from 18 under Curle and are still unbeaten at home in that time.

The teams form so far under Curle would make them contenders for the play-offs, if it wasn't for the disastrous run during Austins regime. I maintain this form is more reflective of the squads ability, and expect this form to at least be carried on for the rest of the season, but possibly even improve.

Very few of the teams in the top 10 look to possess any more quality than us, bar MK and perhaps Lincoln and Mansfield.

As I said in my earlier post it's likely they won't make the play-offs as it stands, but I fancy them to finish on 60+ points and not be far off them at the end. If Curle had been appointed in the summer with the squad we had and still have, I'm convinced we would have been in the top 7 this year.

I agree that VV and Crooks were our most talented players but paradoxically I don't think we'll miss them much at all. Conversely Morias has only returned in recent weeks and still feels like a new signing, so the VV gap already feels 'filled'. Crooks was too inconsistent and in and out of the XI anyway. We have also strengthened the left back slot and it sounds like there are more signings to come. We could well be stronger in the final 18 than in the last 18 games.

And knows what could happen, we might win 8 of the next 10! Much stranger things have happened in football. Heaven forbid someone should be optimistic though, eh?
Our form since December is relevant because it is the most recent form .
We also played some bang average sides in this period and didn’t beat them .
Hopefully we can improve but I base my assumptions on what I see before me as opposed to hypothesis to suit my argument

Drivel. You talk about 'what you see' as if by this you are dealing in facts, rather than subjective opinions. You yourself have a hypothesis (we aren't good enough), based on subjectivity (your appraisal of the teams performances), which suits your argument, which you have held since the season start (we aren't good enough). Why form your opinion about the quality of our squad on our December games only as opposed to the 18 under Curle, especially when there are also 18 games remaining? 18 matches is a wider sample size and therefore more representative of overall form. To say it is 'because it is the most recent set of games' is flimsy to say the least. You may as well base your opinion on one game and say we can challenge for automatic judging by the manner in which we dismantled the play-off positioned Carlisle.

Our form in December was drawn from 5 games in which we were unbeaten and garnered 7 points. Bury's overall form in December can be drawn from 5 games, in which they also garnered 7 points. So does that mean they are not play-off contenders, going by you indisputable logic? Oh, but they sit in second place! How can this be!

Because their position is a reflection of their form over the season, duh!

Our form has good reason to be cleanly split between the Austin and Curle regimes. Under Austin our form had us on course to finish bottom. Under Curle our form is good enough (extrapolated for a whole season) to be just outside the play-off spots. I maintain this form is a better example of the squads ability than that shown under Austin.

On transfers, I'm looking forward to how Curle will strengthen the squad before the end of the month.

As a slight side note, does anyone follow John Harriott @JHFootballAgent on twitter?
The guy is hilarious / delusional. Constantly tweets crap and has been called out a few times, including this week by Robert Huth. Has stock photos and claims it was when he and his wife Janice modelled. If it was a parody account it would be close to being funny but the guy is deadly serious. Well worth a look when your getting frustrated with the real football window

How so, and ultimately is there really a difference? I've clearly explained why I don't agree with B&S's opinions. The first time I stated these arguments he ignored them, I suggest rather conveniently.

I also don't know why you thought I would struggle to 'get out of' his 'hypothesis'. It didn't require a great deal of thought to point out its fallacies.

Well starting with 'drivel' is a bit harsh.

It would only be his 6th or 7th last chance - what could possibly go wrong?

It was my hypothesis, which I then backed up with a reasoned argument. Grin

You know what, wouldn't mind seeing this - even if not sure it's a good idea. Let's have some antics and spice up this season.

Bloody hell, I would. Getting into the odd scrape with the law could just be unfortunate. Getting into a few raises questions. Getting into as many as he has tells you he's just a f***ing scumbag and not someone you want associated with a family oriented football club.
