We have dropped points because we have the youngest side in the League, we will drop more points this year because we have the youngest side in the league.
I really don't know if it means much at all would but love to know how many points we have gained from losing positionsThis. x100. Well said.
It doesn't matter really. The bottom line is the score at the final whistle. We have dropped points from winning positions, I think, due to a combination of inexperience, general fatigue & on occasions, the wrong decisions on the pitch. We mustn't forget that the manager himself is also very young, relatively inexperienced at the top level & is liable to the odd tactical brainfart. But the overall picture is one of optimism in my opinion. Young team, young manager, new stadium in the next couple of years, 4th in the EPL at Xmas, topped the Europa league group etc. What's not to like about where we are at? The team hasn't reached its ceiling yet & the exciting thing for me is that none of us know what that ceiling can be. Hopefully we can keep Poch's key players & supplement them with the odd signing. Cover for Harry (been said a million times already) is the most important thing. Let's hope it's addressed in the window to the managers satisfactionI really don't know if it means much at all would but love to know how many points we have gained from losing positions

yet if we win from losing positions, its never the other team just scoring earlier.Isn't the whole "dropping points from a winning position" just a case of us scoring earlier in games?
appreciate that and am not arguing one way or the other - more a case that unless we're winning every game 6-0 scoring at 15,30,45,60,75 and 90 mins there'll always be a skew in the timing of the goals!yet if we win from losing positions, its never the other team just scoring earlier.
its a sign of character & never say die attitude.
which is it? i am confused.
