Ian RoyalDorset-Knob Statisically we do better when we don't play!
I'm not sure how you've worked that out. We've picked up zero points when we don't play and 14 points when we do play.
Something of a tongue in cheek remark, we have lost half our games played thus far, the only reliable way for us to avoid draws or defeats (ie relegation form) is by not playing! that's how far we've fallen and how awful we really are!
Hoping for the best, being a 'loyal supporter' and looking on the bright side will not alter the facts, paradoxically if we limp along BR stays and may or may not prove to be a genius, if results remain poor or worse BR goes and we go back to percentage football and safety.
This thread is about predictions/forecasting and there is very little evidence to demonstrate that there is even a concise plan in BR's head our results are random, much like team selection and tactics IMHO!
