    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City v Bristol City | The EFL Championship

    I'm not so confident. The defence has been lucky. Our xG conceded is 9.5, 5 and a half worse than our actual conceded, and 4th worst in the league. That's down to a combination of poor finishing from our opponents (Coventry had a league high 20 shots on goal in Saturday) and the excellence of...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Coventry City vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

    I'd like to see Eom at 10 too. Cooper has done really well in recent weeks but I suspect Eom can be more creative in central areas. I don’t think we're making the most of his footwork and finishing playing him out wide.

    Josh Key ahead of Coventry City | Press Conference

    Another way of looking at things is that all the teams we will have played after tomorrow finished in the top half last season. All three of our away opponents were playoff sides or contenders. So a fairly tough start I'd say.

    If you're going to make comparisons then the best one would be Sunderland. Population of city 168,000 and 274,000 in wider urban area - similar to the 242,000 in the County of Swansea. Similar demographics, both working class cities, both with nearby bigger noisy neighbours. Sunderland average...

    The Swansea City Bay region has a population of 685,000 and that doesn't include Bridgend abd Ceredigion, which both could be considered to be in the catchment of the club, let alone parts of RCT and Powys. So we're probably talking about a catchment population for the club of around 900K, with...

    We averaged between 15K and 15,500 in the three Championship seasons before promotion. Unless we do something we will return to that range this season. It's dumb to have empty seats earning no revenue. The club needs to be focused on filling the ground.

    Our next midweek match at home after the QPR one was the 3 nil win against Stoke. The attendance was 14,692 over 5000 down on the QPR game. So, we can't have one-offs, we need to have multiple promotions until we end up keeping those fans who respond to the promotions.

    Good question. Nothing is guaranteed. So we need to promote the club. The QPR game showed it can work, the attendance was 19,704, we just need to do more, and experiment to see what works. If we're fatalistic and simply just accept that whoever turns up turns up then we can't complain if the...

    Our non-derby games have both had attendances of around 14K, so the way things are panning out our average over the season is likely to be 15K or a bit more. This will probably be the worst of those teams not limited by capacity. The discounted tickets for the QPR game last season nearly filled...

    Grimes dropping deep between the centre backs is a new thing whereas that tweet was from last season. I'm sorry but this denial of reality is reaching Trumpian proportions.

    Line-breaking passes are those that go through a line of the opposing team’s formation. For example, a pass that goes between two opposing defenders is known as a line-breaking pass because it breaks through the defensive line. In other words line-breaking passes are penetrative ones, not 10...

    Grimes

    Grimes is a DM whereas a lot of those other players, like Hamer, are 8s. For a 6 Grimes' attacking contribution is outstanding, as shown by Magicdaps' posted tweet.

    It's bizarre to think that they're not. What significance you attach to those facts is another matter. But whether you like it or not stats are the whole basis of the success of Brighton and Brentford, both owned and led by data analytics gurus. It's amazing the contortions people will go to...

    That's a false narrative. Cardiff didn't threaten our goal until the 74th minute by which time we'd created 6 openings. People take that 10 minute spell late on that Cardiff had in the second half that they'd dominated the whole half. Just not true.

    Swansea has a much bigger population than either Blackburn and Burnley and both towns have large ethnic populations that aren't very interested in following their local teams. Swansea also has a larger catchment area with no big rival clubs nearby. But to accentuate the positive the size of the...

    Grimes is always prominent in what we do, you can never criticise him for disappearing. To claim he's responsible for the poor performances of his teammates is hardly reasonable. Stats are facts, and the facts show Grimes is far more progressive in his passing and chance creation than some seem...

    That's fair up to a point, but the fault lies mainly with Fulton, who's made more backwards passes than forwards one this season (they were roughly equal last season) whereas Grimes has made twice as many forward passes as backwards ones. Grimes' play is only problematical in a team that is...

    There's a good chance that, apart from the two teams with limited capacity Oxford and Luton, we will have the lowest support in the Championship this season. Yet, chances are we will finish above the likes of Plymouth, Preston and Sheffield Wednesday. Do people seriously think that the...

    Grimes has had 6 key passes this season, equal best with Tymon. His fellow central midfielders have had 2 - Franco, and 0 - Fulton. Ronald has had 3, Eom 4. This from Grimes mainly from a deep lying position.
