Coventry were available at 40/1 for promotion before today,looks generous.Onlt 1700 watching at Northampton though.How the mighty-ish are fallen!
Yeah, but ain't the Coventry fans boycotting their "home" matches at Sixfields, but making the effort to go away?
I think that a lot of people under estimate the influence of Bassong. All our other centre backs have looked good alongside Bassong but any combination without him have looked distinctly shaky. I would be very concerned if Seb picked up a long term injury this season.
Where the article is slightly distorted is that we had 4 bad away games: Liverpool, Fulham, Chelsea, Man U and one bad home game: Liverpool where we conceded 23 goals out of our total of 58 goals conceded. Bassong missed most of those games so I do not think the author picked a good example to make his point.
Yes, the article was poorly researched and half-baked. Mind you, a number of posters on here failed to acknowledge that same distortion in the course of arguing that defensively we were no better last season than under Lambert!
poor article really at least this season we haven't shipped 5 goals on the opening day i think we are all agreed that we could do with a seb v.02, clearly chris was looking in the summer and couldn't find one at the right price / wage deal for us.
Because of our excellent strikers and attacking play! I thought it was a good article, but articles that focus purely on statistics and don't at all look at how the game is played on the pitch always open themselves up for criticism. Stats never tell the whole story.
The ridiculous thing about the Norwich reference is that they say Norwich concede 58 goals last season, but immediately before they say "the goals conceded average [of those teams in 15th, 16th and 17th] is just 62". So we quite clearly conceded fewer than the articles idea of a decent number of goals conceded...
