  1. Often you won't really know until they are given a go.
  2. Why are the opposition much better though? I mean on what basis are we reaching that conclusion? Burnley had more points than any of them at the same stage last season, and based on what I remember of our games against them, were a better side than those I've seen this season. Even if we say that the three relegated teams are full of a quality that's well ahead of everyone else, and that this is in some way different to every other season, we can't say the same about Ipswich with all due respect to them. We have clearly gone backwards rather than stagnated, same goes for Sunderland and Cov
  3. Do you have something against sixes like? 😡
  4. I wasn't discounting them mate. I was saying that the reason they are so far ahead is because of the mediocrity below them. You seem to be saying that they are just brilliant, and everyone else below them is as good as last season? I'm saying that outside of those four teams the rest of us are worse than last season. We certainly are, as are Sunderland, and Coventry in my opinion. That's the three play off teams from last year. Norwich and West Brom have moved up but I don't see them as having much stronger squads than last season. So it feels like more of a case that they've moved up s
  5. I think that the rest are weaker by me watching them and believing them to be weaker I suppose. There's a large gap between the best four teams and everyone else, which stands out quite clearly. This season the gap between 12th and the bottom three is 9 points. It was 17 points at the same stage last season. Almost every team this season has fewer points than the teams in the same positions at this point last season, outside of the top four. From 11th position this season teams have more defeats than wins, it was 13th place last season before it got to that. But even looking at it in a m
  6. I think you'd need to look at how many crosses occurred with different scorelines, like when we are leading, level, and behind because teams behaviour often changes depending on the match situation. The raw data says that we are only 15th this season for total number of crosses so we aren't crossing the ball that much overall. However our accuracy is quite low, we are only the 18th highest for accurate crosses - some crosses maybe can be good crosses but not counted as accurate though so that's something to consider. But it would seem like crossing isn't our strong point, and we seem to
  7. I don't know myself mate but I'd imagine the level they are at they'd still be semi-pro?
  8. Maybe even our first team 🙌
  9. That's not entirely correct is it? Some things aren't included in the FFP assessment, and we spend quite a bit in those areas, like the Academy. So we're not near to a points deduction every single year unless we sell players. We make a loss every year before player sales though certainly.
  10. The league isn't much stronger. Four teams are stronger, or at least playing as if they are. The rest are weaker if anything. Last season's Boro team would batter this one quite frankly, and that team couldn't quite get the job done.
  11. I think crossing tends to be something you do more of when you're either behind, and desperately trying to get back into the game, or level and pushing for a winner late on. I don't know if we'd be crossing that much when we are ahead or level but there's lots of time to left.
  12. I'd say that if we're not scoring then we need to figure out how to score 🙌
  13. But we've got the 6th best away record in the league. Away form isn't our problem, home form is our problem, home goals are our problem, and that's why we are where we are in the league and not higher.
  14. Aye, it's knackered us completely. We have the 15th best home record in the league, and the 6th best away record. Our home form this season has stuffed us. We have one of the best home defensive records in the league (8th) but we are joint 21st in goals scored. And people keep banging on about our defensive record for some reason. We've actually got a better home defensive record than Ipswich and Southampton but Ipswich have scored 33 more goals than us, and Southampton 25 more goals than us, in the 19 home fixtures so far. Our goal scoring, specifically at home, is what we need to be wo
  15. I don't think people are shocked by it. I think they'd just like to actually see it now and again.
