    Interesting and mildly reassuring how our current slump matches Morecambe's of last season.

    Keep the faith for now..

    After 19 matches:

    Bradford City 2021/22 have 24 points and are in 12th place.

    Morecambe 2020/21 had 31 points and were in 5th place.

    Bradford City 1981/82 had 42 points and were in 1st place.

    We are now way behind the 1981/82 Bradford City team that this season's shirts pay tribute to. More worringly, we are falling behind Morecambe's points tally from last season and even if we win our next 5 league matches we'd still be trailing Morecambe's 2020/21 total.

    Indeed. A quip comes out of the memory banks, but speaker and context remain lost in the depths... was it advice to an incoming US president? Anyways, the advice was to be solemn, solemn as an ass, because all great monuments are built over solemn asses! Sparks would have been better off being solemn rather than exuberant in his statements.

    We are, after today's match, on pace for 58 points, 55 if you just take the past 10 matches. Safe (so far), but overall a failure.

    This will be the final time I post this comparison, as it is clear I've been comparing two completely different things.

    We are now 23 POINTS behind Bradford City 1981/82 after 31 matches, the squad who this season's shirts pay tribute to.

    At the end of the 1981/82 season that squad amassed 91 points. Even if this season's squad won their last 15 matches (don't make me laugh) we would still fall 6 points short of that 1981/82 squad. That is how bad we are.

    So, for the final time. after 31 matches:

    Bradford City 2021/22 have 40 points and are in 11th place.

    Morecambe 2020/21 had 49 points and were in 5th place.

    Bradford City 1981/82 had 63 points and were in 2nd place.

    We are currently 23 points behind the 1981/82 Bradford City team and 9 points behind Morecambe's points tally from last season.

    No wonder Adams isn't having a hissy fit about our league position, too many knee jerk reactions.

    Approaching the half way mark, those comparisons suggest to me that we are way off the mark. I can only conclude using Sparks' own definition of failure ("not getting promoted would be a failure") that we are on target to fail this season.
