All based on premise that these clubs stay in same positions for rest of season...otherwise it doesn’t make sense.
In other words, the table at the moment is meaningless?

The hypocrisy in that last sentence is remarkable Last season you're classing the end of season as the last 5 games yet the season before you're classing the end of the season as everything but the last 5 games just to suit your argument

And now all of a sudden the disasterous middle part of that season has now become a disasterous end of the season just so a point can somehow be made that we always fail at the end of the season.
I’m hesitating to get into this figh.......ahhh b*llocks to it. Here goes. A couple of points of fact. 1) It’s self-evidently the case that we have had a slightly unbalanced first set of 21 matches. In those games, we’ve played every one of the sides currently in the top half (in fact, every one of the current top 14) and only 9 games against sides in the bottom half. 2) We’ve already played 4 of the top 6 away from home (ie on paper, we’ve played 4 of our hardest 6 games of the season).3) We’ve played 2 of the bottom 6 at home (ie we still have 4 of our nominally easiest matches of the season to come).Now, come the middle of January, the situation will have reversed. Between now and then we play 4 home games against sides in the bottom 10 (3 against sides in the bottom 4). Our other 2 games are away to sides in 15th and 10th places. In other words, this is (on paper) our easiest run of the season. If we’re still hovering above the relegation zone by then, then yes, we are in a serious relegation fight. Until then, I respectfully suggest that it’s too early to really tell. My gut feeling from how I’ve seen us play this season is that, given a couple of good additions and a fair run without injuries, we’ll finish about mid-table. But I’m prepared for an arse-wobble if we don’t pick up a good few points from the next 6 games.
Sorry, you are right - we lost to Northampton as well. I am not sure it is credible to the point expect any saviour in playing these teams at home - we have won as many games away as at home this season in the league and only two teams in the entire league have won less than us at home. It is not on th basis of evidence, any kind of advantage for us this season.

I thought you might ignore the point about us getting 2ppg against the 6 sides immediately above us..As I said 3 of these 4 were at home which kind of makes a nonsense of your arguement
But we're unbeaten against the 6 sides above us! This is a prime example of the negative people ignoring anything that is positive. Our home record is better than our away record regardless of how many we've won,
Who's suggesting everything's rosy?Your mate suggested our record against the 6 sides below us isn't very good, I pointed out the record against the 6 above us was extremely good. Neither of you can bring yourselves to acknowledge this

Neither of you can bring yourselves to acknowledge thisHow can our record against the six sides immediately above us be considered as very good when we have only played four of them ?Maybe that can be judged when we have played them.

Ok we've played 4 of the 6 sides above us winning 2and drawing 2.I.e. No defeatsBy the way it was your mate who begun the compare and attempted to compare 5 results from those 6 below us! You must have missed that
