**1 point ahead but 1.256 points behind**

Odd title?

Well, Burnley had 9 points after 7 matches last season and we have 10 points so we are 1 point ahead and our goal difference is 5 better than theirs at the same stage. The average points required for a top 6 finished over the past 10 seasons is 74 or 1.608 points per game meaning that after 7 matches we should be aiming to be on 11.256 (not possible so either 11 or preferably 12) hence the reason why I've said we are 1.256 points behind.

A home win against Barnsley will mean that we stay 1 point ahead of where Burnley were this time last year and we will behind of the 1.608 points per game average.

Last season it took us 10 matches away from Loftus Road to record 7 points on the road. This season we've done that in just 4 matches - Burnley took 6 matches last season to record their 7th point away from home.

Not the most interesting of stats but it does show the what difference one win can do.

interesting stats
I bought points on the spread on 66.5 points. I did this pre season in the firm belief that we would bring in a striking solution and the fervant hope that it would be Jay Simpson

At the moment I am pretty confident that we will hit my spread target and hopeful that we can get the extra required for a play off place. this next month will be very interesting
