Airdrieonians standings after nine games.

I like coincidences in numbers for instance at this stage of the season in 2013-2014 we had lost five of our nine games and in my strange little mind if you continually lose against five teams in the league and are lucky enough to beat the others then your going to end 5th or 6th.

As I said I'm sure it's just coincidence or am I simply making the numbers fit a train of thought, you decide.

You can see from the tables below In the last two seasons 2013-2014, 2014-2015 after nine games we've had five loses. Last season we finished 5th the season before finished 6th is that coincidence?

2013-2014
W D L Total Points
2 2 5 8
Legue Position 8th (finished 6th)

 

2014-2015
W D L Total Points
2 2 5 8
Legue Position 10th (finished 5th)

So looking at this season does that mean we're going to finish the season in 4th or the dreaded 5th yet again?

2015-2016
W D L Total Points
4 1 4 13
Legue Position 4th

With a long way to go in the season the only thing we do know is we have had a better start than the previous two seasons.

I would also like to draw your attention to another coincidence The Man in Black leader of the prediction league has thirteen points.

Last three games not good .other teams seem to dominate us for long spells.Is it fitness,more wanting to win ,better players ,not sure.whats the opinion out there? Still better than last year big chance still there to be in play-off position.Would it be right to take a gamble on a couple of quality players to get us out this division,or are we happy with this standard at Airdrie.

Can't really complain about drawing away at Dunfermline. Ayr game didn't really bother me at all as even though we lost its probably our best performance of the year by a long way, especially the first hour

Here we go then........

Started terrible, then things looked up & now we seem to be back to square one.

At least we have seen a bit of promise now and then but we are still way off the pace needed to keep pace with the teams above us. If GB can string 3 or 4 good results together I think it will go along way to settle the squad and who knows we may even be able to stay in the top 4.......

Think back to the last two seasons. Horrid start followed by a late rush from Christmas onwards see's us miss out on the play-offs by a matter of a few points, or in last years case a single point. Not great but on the up.

This season, have a pretty decent start in terms of our standard, sitting in top 4 and not in the bottom 2 at the end of the first quarter and suddenly it isn't good enough ? Aye, its granted that the games we haven't picked points up in, minus Ayr, haven't been glorious, but to be sitting where we are at this stage in a season is a wonderful thing in my eyes. There's nobody in the league that can't be beaten by anyone else. We're all capable of taking points from everyone. Not brilliant for us but at the same time its never a bad thing.

We go on the post Christmas run again and there won't be a peep from anyone anywhere about us not being good enough, but because of a few defeats its all doom and gloom..

Have good faith in the team. We'll be top 4 come the end of the season. Couldn't care less who ends where and how far off top we are, because top 4 is all that matters for promotion.

Cant complain about the start to the season as we are still in about it, plus having players signed in advance of the season is an obvious plus compared to the previous seasons.

Apart from the automatic 1st place promotion the rest of the plays off positions are a bit of a lottery with a suprise /shock team result each year no team knows that more than us how many times have we been undone in the play offs even when in the higher league better draw position .We can make the play offs but get promotion via them is another matter
