Taken from Britain’s biggest sports and betting web sites. Sorry to disappoint you in your search for “aye but”. Did you really just post an irrelevant league table for the full season in a discussion about "form"? Last 6 is pretty standard fare in form guides, but you know this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not really for a horse in this race but I tend to use 5 games, if for nothing else than on FlashScores (App I use for latest scores, I think it's one of the bigger ones)uses denominations of five. I do love a PnB discussion on something this small though! Good stuff. Edited April 12, 2023 by Grant228 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I use LiveScore which is also 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Using last six games compared to five mitigates part of the impact of home versus away results which you would get with an odd number. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love a PnB discussion on something this small though! Good stuff. I don't bet so I tend not to use betting websites. Football365 no longer carries stats but used to use 6. I now tend to use one of: https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/253/Tournaments/72/Scotland-Scottish-League-One which uses 6 https://www.soccerstats.com/latest.asp?league=scotland3 which can't make up its mind whether it's using 6 or 8 depending on which part you look at (although in the more detailed page you can set it for 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 games (not 5 though). As @printer said, whilst it's not perfect depending on games in hand etc, using an even number does tend to iron out home / away differentials. I genuinely don't think I've seen a Form Guide use 5 before. I knew the BBC had a colour coded recent results part on the right but I don't go there to look at form and hadn't noticed it was only 5.

Fair enough, missed that entirely. When I want to look at Form I look at a Form Table, not a colour coded chart on the end of the actual league table that I'd have to get a pen and paper out to work out who was where in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 3 hours ago, Duncan Freemason said: The only bit that’s not right is QotS being the league’s form side. A quick look at Sporting Life’s Last Five form guide gives that accolade (rightly) to Airdrie……five straight wins versus QotS’ four wins and a draw. I keep forgetting that due to the likely forensic dissection of every detail I need to be very precise about the wording used on P&B posts ... in this instance I was quoting another poster, but on reflection it would have been better to say "an in-form side" as that would have better captured the essence of my point (ie that no sane person would have considered calling QOS an in-form side a few months ago). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Imagine QoS even being discussed in regards to who the form side is. This division wants to have a fucking word with themselves. Edited April 12, 2023 by 19QOS19 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we are still in with a chance of the play-offs is remarkable. I genuinely thought 8th was our destiny in December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager appears to be getting the best out of your squad which was being heavily criticised in December. Good luck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the relevant thread, it was more often fans of other clubs who predicted lofty finishes for us, with a few even placing us top. That never seemed very likely, given our company in the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt overall our season has been pretty awful. We have a top three budget and have sat 7th most of the season. Few of the summer signings worked out well to the extent as someone pointed out last week, the team that beat Alloa last week had just 2 starters from the summer signings (Hendrie and Wilson). Last 6 weeks has seen a bounce of optimism for next season and earned us a surprising outside shot at sneaking in the playoffs this season but we're still a long shot for that and relying on Alloa dropping points in at least 2 of their last 4 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
