What the Split Tells You
At 1.33 scored and 1.67 conceded per game, this is a side losing both halves of the game. Goal difference of -3 after 9 games is the honest summary β it moves slower than form does, and it is the number that ends up deciding where a side finishes.
The Pace They Are On
11 points from 9 is 1.22 per game. Held across a full season that lands around 46 points. Whether that is enough depends entirely on the clubs immediately around them in the table above β which is why the gap to Leeds United FC matters more than the headline that brought you here.
