I can see him going to Lincoln

Don’t you think our players not taking chances would seriously affect the expected assists tally?
If we had Haaland and Salah up front, then yes our players would have strong assist figures as they would take more chances. But we don’t.
So why is he top of a list of expected assists in the league? It’s just nonsense. And it certainly isn’t accurate in anyway whatsoever.

Just offering an explanation as to why “expected” assists are so much better than actual assists. What constitutes a decent chance is subjective and indeed depends on the quality of your strikers. So, in that regard, I would agree that it might not necessarily be accurate

Didn't he get sent off at Wembley. Which helped prevent Duff and Barnsley going up. So we ended up with Duff. In other words, fuck off by association lol

Not sure, either way, this one is starting to sound about our level.

It's not that difficult to understand. Just like expected goals, expected assists are based on the probability of scoring from a given shot based on a number of factors, but distance from the goal and angle being the main ones. So if a striker fails to score from 5 yards out centrally then the expected goal figure and expected assist will be high. But if someone attempts to score from 35 yards the expected goal and expected assist for the pass will be very small.

So, the fact that Tymon has the best expected assists tally in the league indicates he's been delivering a lot of high quality opportunities, which have mainly been squandered. Anyone paying attention would have noticed that...

All that babble just equates to the fact that Tymon can put a decent cross in. I won't argue with that. But expected and assists are meaningless words in the context of football. Just modern day rubbish in my opinion.

Wycombe have signed another CB which might suggest they are resigned to losing Low.

Record signing too, which might imply the money for Low is quite substantial. I know we're in for him with a couple of other clubs, so not epecting us to outbid anyone tbh

Anders Hagelskjaer from Molde in Norway

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

Still some work to do on any deal for Low apparently, according to Williams

Luke Williams keeping cards close to his chest, but has suggested there's a fair amount of work to be done before a deal is agreed on Joe Low.

Also asked him about links with Saudi midfielder Abdulmalik Al-Jaber #Swans https://t.co/eVvycUB8u7

Wycombe signing two CBs certainly suggests they are expecting to lose Lowe in this window.

 

[Swansea93]

Wycombe manager is favourite for the Luton job, wouldn’t surprise me if he gets the job and brings him along, won’t be much of a commute either.

Exactly. It’s a stat of crossing/passing accuracy into the box. If there’s no goal scored, there is no assist.
It’s possible a player at different club with the same crosses would have a higher expected assist rate if those crosses lead to goals.
