They don't. But what they do show is that this season hasn't quite been the calamity so far which some are claiming.
It does feel like it's constantly wobbling on the brink of it though.
The season is a throwback to the bad old decades where every opportunity to advance has been met with a stumble. This is probably the easiest title on offer in living memory, every club in the league is shite. Except maybe Forest by their lowly standards.
