The last 2 game days go to show that the footballnumbersblog KPIs are purely a measure of what ALREADY happened. If teams improve – or deteriorate – in their performances then all bets are off.
I was foolish to even make any predictions at the mid-season mark as I am aware that our “numbers” are useless for prediction purposes.
No more so than in this crazy season where anybody can beat anyone else, it seems.
Since I declared them the sure wooden spooners, Southern United have gone on a 7 goal rampage and are now snapping at the heels of the Wanderers after their second win in a row. This win came against Canterbury who all but destroyed Tasman the previous week.
Tasman, themselves eked out a draw – wait for it – against Auckland City FC. Waitakere United keeps going upwards and Hawkes Bay United have resuscitated their season in convincing fashion against my erstwhile favourites Eastern Suburbs who seem to have lost their form over Christmas.
new KPI table:
Why is that happening?
Not a clue!
With only 1 game per match day broadcast I have no new numbers for all these teams.
What I do have is the numbers for Team Wellington against the Wellington Phoenix.
As you can see, these numbers show a well- deserved win for Team Wellington, who continue to climb in the KPI table.

I am Dieter Dvorak and I am a Clinical Health Psychologist, working and living in Auckland, New Zealand.
I have worked in various roles with people who are facing unavoidable challenges such as the consequences of injuries, stroke, MS, chronic pain and challenging emotional experiences since 1984.
Since the end of 2001 I have provided patients and clients with support and practical strategies and skills training as a Clinical Psychologist.
My clinical work is grounded in the principles of "psychological flexibility" and the notion that building and strengthening "resilience" is crucial for being able to respond to challenges effectively and successfully. Resilience is first and foremost a set of self-regulation skills that need to be learned and practiced for it to be available to the person facing an unavoidable challenge..
Therefore my approach has been largely "therapeutic educational" in my work with individuals and groups.
Therefore my clinical work is conceptually grounded in skills and process based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness integrated CBT, Morita Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
The suggestions and advise given in my "resilience blog" do NOT replace "person to person" psychological therapy if and when such support is needed! Please make or stay in contact with your local Family Doctor and/or Mental Health Service provider if you feel that you are currently not coping with your personal challenges and problems!
In my free time I have also been a "football (soccer) analyst" and my "footballnumbersblog" is dedicated to this area of interest.
I am also a keen hobby artist and painter and the "doing art is what counts" blog is dedicated to this particular area of interest.
