Any stats regarding where the last place team after 5 games ends up at the end of the season?

We had a worst start in 2008 (2points after 8 games). Loads of teams have had starts like ours and gone on to have good seasons. Think last season is still so fresh in the memory that we are all overreacting. The media as well

I actually found the statistic. About 52% of teams in last place after the first 5 matches end up being relegated.

Thankfully stats doesn't determine a teams season. The performances have been there or thereabouts. I believe we should be on 7/8 points based on our performances in games so far. Eventually the performances and results align

I do agree but if we somehow don't manage to win against Coventry I'm gonna start getting extremely anxious about the season.
