So after 18 years, 106-watch is finally and firmly properly ON. Leicester are more than halfway to our record with 55 points from 22 games. Ipswich on 52 points and will also be equal or ahead of the required 'rate' with a draw or win next time out.
Both teams, Leicester in particular, just 'look' that much better than the rest.
Fwiw, we had 53 points at this stage in 2005/06, with 16 wins, 5 draws and the single defeat to Plymouth - and we were bang in the middle of a ten-game winning run.
Pompey are in a similar spot too in League One. They could have 54 points at the halfway stage if they win their next two.
I think the National League record is Wrexham's 111 points (lol) last season - Chesterfield have won 18 of their first 22 games this season and are on 56 points already.
