We've lost 13 which is only 1 more defeat than Leeds United. We're on for potentially 22 draws if we can hold it together in the last 2 games. Looking back through the history books 23 draws is the most for a 46 game season and that has happened 3 times but never in the Championship and not this century: Exeter City (from 46 games, Fourth Division, 1986â87) Hartlepool United (from 46 games, Third Division, 1997â98) Cardiff City (from 46 games, Third Division, 1997â98) I wonder if we may be on for a Championship draw record? We did it, I knew we could! If we could have just found 1 more draw from somewhere we would have drawn 50% of our matches.

Fitting that we ended this Godforsaken season with a draw I guess...

Only five teams lost less times than us. Only three teams conceded less goals than us.
A pity about the other end of the statistic column and football park, but anyway...âŚ.

Thee thing is for most of the last decade a draw away has been deemed a decent result. The problem is that ran over into this season when often draws aren't enough. To get promoted you need to win. It dawned on me we weren't mentally right to go up when there was an air of satisfaction after the draw at Villa park. We'd led twice and controlled plenty of the game but came away with only one point. But a win was required. It's a fine line between success and failure but you have to be on the right side of it. You have to be ruthless and we haven't been.

For me this season will be defined by our 2-2 draws.

Signing Afobe, ince and mcclean as a front three killed the season stone dead before it started. What was Rowett thinking? There are fine margins though, I think Jones will have us firing from the start next season

Yes, they're like some bore in the pub who whatever you tell them they've done it already only better ! They should stick to those 2 European Cups and leave the difficult stuff to us :-)

I'd prefer to look at how many points the missed penalties cost us tbh. Anyone know the answer? I imagine a couple wouldn't have made an impact on the result like Clucas missing one at 2 nil down.

I wonder if they read my post... Oh I see they went further back. Iâm sure they worked it out for themselves. So it is a second flight record. Impressive?

The drawn games are a symptom of a couple of things. Firstly how utterly abject we have been in the final 10-15 mins of games. I worked it out a month or two ago and we were net -10 points in the last 10 minutes. We conceded a ton of late equalisers.
I canât remember the last time we scored a meaningful late winner. And off the top of my head sheff Utd is the only equaliser I can think of.
Most of those draws, we simply havenât looked like scoring in the last 10 minutes. I can barely think of one where I felt we were shortchanged.
Secondly how weâve been hurt by the disparity between performance and expectations. Our opponents, right to the end, have seen us as a much more difficult proposition than we really were, and have happily settled for a point. Especially at home. So while we conceded a lot of law equalisers we hardly conceded and late winners, the opposition often werenât really looking for them.

Yes the quality of the opppsition has surprised and disappoonted me. A feeling of being happy to drop to that level and not really throating any teams has been shocking.
