Particularly bad news for Sheehan unless he can work out how to play to Idah’s strengths.

Irrelevant. That’s how football works.

I think XG refers directly to attacking intent, aggressive play and more shots, touches in the opposing box etc etc. We aren’t expected to score goals because we are so negative to start with

Also results before performance could have been attributed to Steve Cooper who got us two top six finishes. And won a hell of a lot more games that Sheehan is winning at the moment.

Yeah but what if we hit 50 points and only have two games left?

Carrick’s middlesbrough were not a bad side at all as I remember. A midfielder would understand how to create a successful attacking unit than the three defenders we have

Created through the centre not pissing about on the wings only to eventually pass the ball back to the centre halves. Laudrups directness needed here

I suppose I can put up with Inoussa “going missing” in games if he can give us the spark to get a goal or two. Barring Eom’s uncharacteristic my direct assist for Vip’s second he is largely ineffective and doesn’t present any threat unlike Inoussa who really needs a run of games to get properly...

I didn’t cheer. I went feckin bezerk !

The difference between Sheehan’s swans last season and this seems simple - we lost a coach who was a midfielder and replaced him with another coach who was a defender. Hence the inability to move the ball coherently from midfield into areas which will hurt opposition teams.

Found this on Reddit - we are 24 th out of 24 in the championship in terms of XG - Vipotnik is joint top player in the championship for XG as an individual - 0.7 per fame. Imagine how many he’d get with a decent supply line. Interesting article https://www.reddit.com/r/swanseacity/s/XOpi4Do0gH

I think , for all Sheehan’s protestations Widdell and Inoussa simply have to start every game for us. They already have an understanding and look like they can unlock defences, something Eom and Cullen can’t do. Casey is class - I wouldn’t mind a back 5 or him slotting in at RB even

Dead boring play puts fans to sleep. When we do play well the crowd reacts. Give us something to cheer about Alan!

We play hyper defensively these days and it we are slap bang average mid table team. I think a lot of people are genuinely perplexed by Sheehans change from an attacking biased team when there was a lot at stake (we were not far of the relegation zone when he came in) and with more games could...

A million percent with bells and tassels all over

Well you should be pissed off that he didn’t play anything like that here. He couldn’t be arsed

It’s as if Sheehan is saying “if only Vipotnik could put these away every week we’d be fine” whilst not acknowledging Vipotnik needs balls through the channels for him to run onto and score. He must be the only person too thick to realise this! Our building up play - slow and torturous- always...

I you were talking about swede then I’d agree. Deary me

Wasn't I telling you this months ago? At the time you said “he’s only once or twice played there, he’s a central midfielder blah blah blah “. Take a break from being the all seeing and knowing - when you’re neither!
