I did some number-crunching to compare the three managers. Hughes and Ricketts are pretty similar so far. Hughes has a much better win-percentage, but a slightly lower points per game. I then worked out where we would be in the table if we'd achieved that manager's statistics over the entire season.

P W D L PPG 44games
Ricketts 22 55% 32% 14% 1.95 86pts 2nd
Barrow 9 44% 11% 44% 1.44 64pts 10th
Hughes 13 62% 8% 31% 1.92 85pts 3rd
We all knew it, but it's only that four-game losing streak under Barrow that's cost us a crack at the title, and is likely to give us an away tie in the play-offs.
