After 20 games played we were 12 points adrift of Nottingham Forest in 17th place and PL safety.
After 21 games played we are 14 points adrift of Nottingham Forest in 17th place.
The players improvement in endeavour and attitude is not yet reflected in the league table.

In other words, we drew and they won in our respective last matches. Apologies, FTP.

Yes Old Wulf that is correct.
If you take our points accumulation over the last six games compared to Forest we have 5 points and they have 6 so although we have improved and the players are now playing for the shirt we have worryingly not gained any ground on our competitors but have fallen further behind.

After 17 games we were 16 points adrift of Nottingham forests in 17th. Showing the players improvement in endeavour and attitude is clearly reflected in the league table. We had 2 points 3 games ago, we now have 7.
What a pointless comment designed to shed a negative light on what the team have achieved in recent weeks. It’s clear to see how the team has improved under RE not just by looking at the results. It seems some people just want to make it look like nothings changed. What a joke.

In 2026, Wolves have 4 points and Forest only have 3.
Statistics can be manipulated to fit whatever objective you're trying to find.

We have to keep going and hope someone else can get dragged in later in the season,

Sorry but I feel like I'm reading a different thread to everyone else here?! First has simply pointed out that despite an upturn in perfromances/effort we are however still further a drift. What part of that is incorrect or maniplualtated exactly?! I know he's been previously negative but let's try and judge each post on its merit shall we because what then is negative (or even inrorrect) about 'The players improvement in endeavour and attitude is not yet reflected in the league table'?!
Yes its nice that we've turned a corner and credit to the team/RE for it but surely people are still allowed to point out the realities of our predicament?! I'm afraid the reality (however you spin/manipulate the data) is we look more likely to go down today than we did last week.
The Forest result agaisnt WHU has put all three teams in the zone in very real danger, that's just facts I'm afraid! Don't believe me then ask a WHU fan ?

Because it’s manipulation of the stats BB, as my post points out over a longer timeframe we are in fact better off. Using one game as an example isn’t a true reflection. As I said we now have 5 more points than we did 3 games ago which shows vast improvement even if we did only have 2 points. To say it’s not reflected in the table is misleading. As goodwhileitlasted points out we have a point more than them over the last three games.
Ultimately it’s pointless making the comparison and all it does is cast a negative light on things. The only thing that’s relevant is that we have got more points in the last 3 games than we had over the previous 18.
I’m all for people pointing out the way they view the predicament but I think we all get it by now, what’s the point in constantly reminding everyone other than to put a downer on what has been a good three games. Yes staying up is unlikely but why try kill the hope that some still have?

A positive stat for you then Goatmark1 is that if we match Brentford’s results for the rest of the season we will finish on 26 points less than them.
08 Jan 2026 21:49:06
Apparently 6 out of 10 fans don’t believe in statistics ?
08 Jan 2026 22:39:19
99% of statistics are only true 50% of the time 100% true that or is it 90% true? I’m only 40% sure
??

Let hope they win the rest of their games then firstthepoints. But yes well done we are 26points behind Brentford yet another pointless stat.
Tbh I think it’s more likely that we need to catch Leeds, whatever the case all we can do it try win as many as possible and hope others around us lose as many as possible. Much like the transfer thread the other day looking at what other teams are doing just adds to the disappointment. We can only try to control our own destiny

Pointless thread.?
