parsforlife Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I think we all agree that the only record the club really care about is being league 1 champions 22/23. But having done a bit of research(looking through parsdatabase results, baring the broken link for 54/55). This is the best defense we have ever had. Nobody else have got to this stage in the season having only conceded 11 goals. This isn’t the level of football that we want to be playing at but even so congratulations to McPake, the coaching staff and the players. Another stat to look at over the next few weeks is the 2nd loss of the season. Only 2 previous sides have made it to game 19, 99/00 who lost game 20 and 85/86 who lost game 21. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguinePar Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 It really is an incredible record so far. Just as well too, since we're only 7th in the league for scoring goals! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I think it’s a great improvement this year on our previous managers. We’ve put aside footballing philosophies for pragmatism. This is what was needed, winning matches and it’s working so far. Give them another year and maybe we’ll add goals as well! Great work on the stats analysis as well. I think there was a season under Dick and Bert where we lost very few matches 1994-95 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the season before 3pts for a win. If it came in that season we'd won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buspasspar Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 What sticks out for me is the improvement in the fitness .. where we were being out run and out fought under the previous 2 managers .. especially against part time teams .. we are a team again and all helping each other out COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 4 of those goals conceded at home to the two worst teams in the league !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other way round, I think. 1994/95 was the first season with 3pts for a win, and Pars lost the title to Raith by 1 point. Had it still been 2pts the teams would have been level on points and Pars would have been champions on goal difference. As it was, we lost the play-off to Aberdeen.

In 1993/94 if it had been 3 points for a win then we would have beaten Falkirk to the title, and 1994/95 is as you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Peterhead game in particular sticks in the craw. We really ought to have 2 more points than we do, incredible that we let that slip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two season where only one went up. Either league reconstruction or Play Offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was one the reasons why winning in 95/96 was particularly sweet, having gone so close twice already (with Norrie's death midway through the season obviously a massive factor too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Eleven Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 The team was very unfairly labelled as ‘bottlers’ despite missing out on promotion so narrowly in previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
