Someone previously posted that we'd be one point worse off.
I think they mentioned that in our 6 game " bad run" last season we lost 2 and drew 4.
I could well have picked that up wrong

The two mice can be seen on the Philpot Lane wall of 23 Eastcheap, London, EC3M 1DE
STORIES OF THE PHILPOT LANE MICE
Over the years, all manner of colourful tales have sprung up to explain the presence of the wrestling rodents.
One story holds that, as work on the building progressed, the workmen became somewhat mystified by the fact that their packed lunches kept disappearing before they had had the chance to take a break and devour them.
Eventually, a careful watch was kept, and it was discovered that the culprits responsible for making off with the workmen's sarnies, were mice who had taken up residence around the emerging building.
The workmen decided to pay tribute to the cheeky creatures by carving their likenesses onto the finished building in remembrance of their lost lunches.
A more colourful version of the story holds that two workmen came to suspect each other of stealing one another's lunches and they got into an argument over the matter on the scaffolding.
Unfortunately, the rail they were fighting against suddenly broke and the two men plunged to their deaths.
When their colleagues discovered that the whole tragedy had come about as a result of mice actually devouring the lunches, they carved the two mice to commemorate their departed workmates.
