Final table this season:

Pos11 PL46 W18 D10 L18 F54 A58 Pts64

(Where Hull made the last play-off spot with 21 wins and 73 points. Coventry 95 points and Ipswich 84 points took the auto spots)



Final table last season:

Pos11 PL46 W17 D10 L19 F51 A56 Pts61

(Where Bristol City made the last play-off spot with 17 wins and 68 points. Leeds and Burnley took the auto spots with 100 points each with Burnley about to come straight back down).
 
A win percentage of 48% is very, very impressive considering what he came into.
You're not going far wrong with that number, that's 60 odd points a season before you include the draws.
Excellent record.
