Not really but I won’t argue the toss. It’s just there to indicate which team has had the best quality chances. It’s only really useful with a large sample size of games though in my opinion.

Not a load of nonsense today looking at the XG (1.02 for Cov and 1.22 for the Swans on FotMob.) We had two very good quality chances (Vip and Cullen) and they only really had two of the same quality themselves (header off the line and the one straight after). The difference in XG was only...

It’s why we can’t be too disappointed, performances always lead to results and we’re performing well enough at the moment, although we could be a bit better in the final 3rd still. We keep performing as we are and we’ll beat enough teams to stay in this division. I feel a decent result is on the...

Decent performance away to a good team. They just had that bit more quality going forward although I didn’t think they were anything special. I know they’ve got a few players out but it’s surprising they’ve hit so many goals this season if that’s what they look like. You can see the quality in...

We just don’t have that quality consistently. I feel we’re decent moving the ball out of defence into midfield but as soon as the ball gets to the final third we still seem to freeze up.

I don’t know if we’ve been the better side, they forced Vigs into a brilliant goal line save and got the goal while we’ve only really had that Vipotnik chance. Still though, we’ve looked tidy enough. Gotta be more dangerous going forward.

Seen most of the half, quite a boring game to be honest, both teams look poor in front of goal. Cov 1-0 but not much in the game at all.

I don’t mind a statement like that to be honest. At least they’re letting us know that January will be quiet. No false promises, no disappointment. Also quiet doesn’t mean no signings, I see no reason why we can’t get a loan in or two.

Perhaps contrarian, but I don’t think the state of this season has been down to what the owners did in the summer, player recruitment wise anyway. I think we simply appointed the wrong manager off the back of some excellent results at the back end of last season. These players are young and...

This is a good point. Even Inoussa who has some pace isn’t rapid. It makes you appreciate players like Dan James all the more. It’s been ages since we’ve had a winger who can knock the ball past someone and run. Don’t know who it was on here but somebody mentioned that all our wingers like to...

I’m not sure who the possible options could be but I think we do need one. Michu would be a nostalgic choice and he does have some experience in that role now. Not privy to any behind the scenes stuff but I find it odd that they got rid of Montague and now are looking to get in a Director of...

Would like to see what Idah can do on the right out wide, he played there for Norwich so it’s not alien for him. I think Ronald could do with a rest for a few games and Idah certainly has the speed and skill. I don’t agree with people who say Vipotnik isn’t good enough for us. His goal scoring...

We shouldn’t be selling anyone in January unless we’re talking truly crazy money. It’s the reason we’ve started giving players 4 year deals, it gives us breathing space to not be pressured into any deal. If we’re talking purely about selling for the most value then it makes sense to wait until...

Not quite having the impact on goals and assists that we would like yet but his work off the ball is vital to us at the moment for me. I think in general we have a few players like that, we may have to be patient with a few of them, they’re young and still developing.

I think the reason some aren’t sold on him is because he doesn’t tend to create his own space to shoot like Piroe and he’s sometimes late to get on the end of crosses. For me though, the simple truth is we just don’t create enough for him. Finishes like the one against Stoke are few and far...

Personally wouldn’t be letting Vipotnik go if we can help it, unless it was for a an amount we couldn’t refuse. He’s the only consistent source of goals in the squad and I’m not sure I’d want to gamble on finding a goalscorer in the January window.

I think he could be with the right service. He does miss a few to be fair and he should have had another one against Stoke being put clean through twice. Just looking at it this season though, he’s on 10 in all competitions and we’ve been one of the weaker teams in the league for attacking and...

He made the difference when he came on, I thought. For me he just needs more game time.

It was probably just me being pessimistic in fairness. With our performance we actually could have gotten something. Agree about us being poor against teams on bad runs, it has been a consistent theme this season. I think we are definitely improving and today was the most threatening we’ve...

To be fair, did anyone really expect much from today? We have a terrible record up there and have lost there with better teams. I personally wasn’t targeting this game for any points, even with the two consecutive wins. I have higher hopes for Wrexham at home and the few home game we have in...
