On many occasions this season I've thought, said and written that it's our inconsistency that would cost us promotion, or even a place in the play-offs.
That thinking may have been right looking at our patterns of results over blocks of 6, 8 or 10 games or our results vs good and then poor opposition but, as I discovered this morning, not across the 46 game season.
After 23 games we had 32 points and in 46 games we achieved 64.
In other words we achieved exactly the same in both halves of the season, albeit in different ways.
First 23 games. Won 10, Drew 2, Lost 11 = 32 points
Second 23 games. Won 8, Drew 8, Lost 7 = 32 points
In summary : We were consistently 'not good enough' over the whole season.
