GD stats throughout the seasons

[Dan Yeats]

Our GD is generally a bit shit when compared to clubs on the same points.

So I was wondering if:

1. A set of pure GD league tables already exists online somewhere? Or...
2. If one of our more stat-focused members might be able to put something along those lines together.

I think it'd make interesting reading, and also suggest that if anything, we've overperformed in league position terms.

@Flav - one for your crew?

I don't think you have to be stats focussed to put something like this together - just not lazy.

Early 2000's make grim reading...

Doesn't support the notion of positive change over the last few years either

I think it supports that the "magnificent 7" signings cocked up what we'd built in the season prior.

Generally though, GD is linked to position quite strongly, so it doesn't show much other than our relative league position fluctuation over the years

Yeah, I work with data analysis as a job, so...
