A very average League One strike force would have scored 6. A good attack more like 7-8. Should be five wins in a row, which would have put us top 10.
It is better to score more and win more with more losses...rather than being undefeated and not scoring and not winning.
46 draws in the league only gets you 46 points...and probable relegation.
1 win and 2 losses = 3 points
2 draws and 1 loss = 2 points
3 draws and 0 losses = 3 points
2 wins and 1 loss = 6 points
You can draw and NOT LOSE without scoring, BUT.....
You CAN'T win without scoring
This simple matter of mathematics and football league points rules makes clear the error of Dean Smith's thinking.
