Why only 46%?

What did we measure but not count?
Shamrock Rovers have shed 124 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.8% of 9,530 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
