Analysis of the PL fixture list :

Generally good spread of fixtures against the top 6, but :

1. the Christmas period will be tough
2. the final 6 games will be brutal


#2 reminds me of 2009-10,
So in a similar vein if the team is in a kindred
mindset + run of form. then they will prevail.

 

Initial rough points "drill down" (by month) on the PL "like for like" :

August : 4
September : 7
October : 1
November : 6
December : 6
January : 6
February : 4
March : 3
April : 8
May : 4


So via the "season compass" we will see that by the end of :

1. September whether the new manager has worked well over the pre season

2. the year what shape Spurs are in for finishing in the top 4

 

Dashboard updated (fixtures) .

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 2 games) :

Pts = +2, GF = 0, GA = -2, clean sheets = +1, W = +1. D = -1, L = 0.

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 3 games) :

Pts = +2, GF = -1, GA = -4, clean sheets = +2, W = +1, D = -1, L= 0.

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 4 games) :

Pts = +2, GF = 0, GA = -3, clean sheets = +2, W = +1, D = -1, L= 0..


Burnley paired with Leeds on the "like for like" .

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 5 games) :

Pts = +2, GF = -2, GA = -3, clean sheets = +2, W = +1, D = -1, L= 0.


Shefield Utd paired with Soton on the "like for like" .

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 6 games) :

Pts = +3, GF = -1, GA = -4, clean sheets = +2, W = +1, D = 0, L= -1.

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 7 games) :

Pts = +6, GF = 0, GA = -5, clean sheets = +2, W = +2, D = 0, L= -2.

 

So on that basis ...

Pts = +6, with the squad not fully fluent with the new system.

Perhaps caution is advised, given that Conte was+8 at the
end of the FIRST MONTH of last season (and we know how
that ended) . However tis notable that these pts have been
taken from 3 of last seasons' top 5.

 

Dashboard updated (fixtures) .

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 8 games) :

Pts = +9, GF = 0, GA = -9, clean sheets = +3, W = +3, D = 0, L= -3.

Luton paired with Leicester on the "like for like" .

 

PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 9 games) :

Pts = +9, GF = 0, GA = -10, clean sheets = +4, W = +3, D = 0, L= -3.

 

Doesn’t compute!

 

Is this more amenable to you :

Pts = +9, GF = 0, GA = -10, clean sheets = +4, W = +3, D = 0, L = -3.

Our next 6 games will tell us a lot about how far we come.
Palace a
Chelsea h
Wolves a
City a
Newcastle h
Villa h
We lost 4 of those last season picking up 2 wins.

 

^ = =3 ^ = -3.

 

Yeah I realised so changed it....tired after yesterday rather than monumentally thick
