    I think you’re all being a little unfair to Farke. He has got us to 90 points. Any normal championship season that should get you promoted. Ipswich have been the surprise in that they’ve been brilliant when many expected them to fall away. Also one minute we have the best forward line in the division but complain about barn door, Piroe is slow as cart horse, Rutter can’t shoot etc. It can’t be both ways.

    I really wasn’t joking when I said at the start of the season, we’ll go up as champions and break records along the way. That was my expectation with the players we had. Gerrard, Parker, some of the others we were linked with, just pick 11 from 14 and put them on a pitch, if you’ve any level of coaching in this division you should take our players to at least where we are.

    Even Jesse would have managed……. Mmmm top 6

    We might be best attacking team but a huge amount of that has to be credited to Summerville. His contribution has been immense. Bamford has been useless for most of season as has Piroe. Guess what, regardless of promotion, Summerville will be gone in the summer while well be left with the other two useless lumps

    Piroe two consecutive seasons of 20 goals in a pretty poor Swansea team, you have to blame Farke for not getting the best out of him this season. He is only 24 years of age too. I feel he would play a huge part next season if we don't go up

    Bamford also scored nearly 20 in pl one season. Doesn't change the fact he's hopeless though

    We'd have won the league with Jesse.

    We all know Bielsa played Bamford because of the "other stuff". We all see how many big chances Bamford misses, I have no idea how many chances Piroe needed to score his goals in his Swansea career or how many he missed.

    Sometimes you just see a player and you're too quick to write them off when it could be the system or coach ruining them.

    Piroe 24 years old and the last two seasons 20+ goals in a poor team

    Bamford on the other hand, 30 years old and has never hit 20 goals, played in a team that lost out in the play offs and a team that got promoted, a team that created tons of chances but he still never managed to hit the 20 mark.

    There you go Ristac, ask sayeth the Lord and you shall receive :emoticon-0105-wink:

    and just for further comparison, only including both players best seasons for goals

    and just for fun, this is what Bamford's figures should have looked like for those two seasons, if he had played the exact same number of minutes as Piroe

    Just for you Essex, I've edited them, so they now adopt the library book standard of "Large Text" for those who have difficulty reading :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Well I only provide the information, its up to each individual to interpret the data whichever way suits them :emoticon-0105-wink:. You choose whichever set of data supports whether you are a fan of Bamford/Piroe or think they are both as good/bad as each other :emoticon-0102-bigsm. The data is factual, but opinions on the interpretation of that data could be polar opposites :emoticon-0140-rofl: (unless I have happened to make a typing error of course ;) )

    Some may say Piroe needs 1 hour 58 minutes of playing time to score a goal, whilst Bamford needs 2 hours 18 minutes to score, in their two best ever seasons.

    Some may focus on the fact that in their best two seasons, Piroe scored 8 more goals than Bamford from the same number of shots.

    Others may say though that one of those seasons was when we were in the Premier League for Bamford, where as Piroe has only performed in the Championship level.
