Statistics: First half of season complete + the promised "Boxing Day" special

Post “Boxing Day” statistics

The attached table shows the current Sky Bet League 2 table at the half way stage of the season.  It also shows the results gained against each team.  This highlights the outstanding results gained against Northampton and Plymouth, given their current league position.

The last column shows what effect a 1 goal swing to the U's has on each result compared to the reverse fixture.

The U's gained a total of 33 points from the first half of the season.  A 1 goal swing in each game would mean they gain 50 points from the second half of the season.  This would give a total of 83 points and be enough for the Amber Army to dream of Automatic Promotion well into the second half of April.

Statistics: First half of season complete

After 23 Sky Bet League 2 fixtures the U's are:
This season - 11th place with 33 points
Last season - 14th place with 29 points

41 points - Relegation

This seasons forecast
90 points - Automatic promotion
80 points - Play Offs
26 points - Relegation

Assuming current form continues the U's will complete the season on 66 points.  This would be an improvement of 15 points from the 2014/15 season.
