Compared To Last Season

If we could beat Palace on Saturday, that would be an improvement over last season when we drew. 1-1.

That would put us on schedule for 44pts compared with last season's comparative results, assuming we replicate our victory at The Emirates

 

ANORAK STAT STILL PENDING: In home matches, the Swans haven’t scored in front of the Family Stand (ie in the second half) since the win against Man U on August 30th 2015.

I've put that stat at the top of the post because I can't believe it's still standing. It's a huge factor in our poor results at The Liberty and has to be sorted if we are to get ourselves out of trouble. Once again our achilles heel of starting the second half poorly bites us on the backside with another early goal conceded, with Palace dominating the early period of the second half.

We drew at home (1-1) with Palace last season, so there is no real change in the overall picture.

This season we have improved our results against the following teams:
Chelsea (A) 2-2 (+1), Newcastle (H) 2-0 (+2), Spurs (H) 2-2 (+1), Crystal Palace (A) 0-0 (+1), Everton (A) 2-1 (+3) WBA (A) 1-1 (+1)

We have had the same results against the following teams:
Sunderland (A) 1-1, Man United (H) 2-1, Everton (H) 0-0, Aston Villa (A) 2-1, Liverpool (A) 0-1, Man City (A) 1-2, West Ham (H) 1-1, West Brom (H) 1-0, Watford**(H) 1-0, Crystal Palace (H) 1-1.

We have had worse results against the following teams:
Watford** (A) 0-1 (-3), Southampton (A) 1-3 (-3), Stoke (H) 0-1 (-3), Arsenal (H) 0-3 (-3)
Norwich*** (A) 0-1(-2) , Bournemouth* (H) 2-2 (-2), Leicester (H) 0-3 (-3), Man United (A) 1-2 (-3) Sunderland (H) 2-4 (-1)

Last seasons points per game ratio : 1.47
Last Season: Position 8th (56pts)
This seasons current points per games ratio: 1.08
This seasons current points prediction based on points per game ratio: 41

Compared to last season we are currently on schedule for: 42pts (If we get the same results in the remaining corresponding games, including an away win at The Emirates)

***Norwich replaced QPR

 

In our first season in the PL, under Brendan, after 25 games we were sitting in 11th spot, with 30 pts on the board, 9 ahead of the drop zone.

We had won 7, drawn 9 & lost 9, having scored 28 & having conceded 32.

2 years later, after 25 games (the 25th was Monk's first) we were sitting in 10th spot, with 27 pts, 4 pts away from the drop zone.

We had won 7, drawn 6 & lost 12, having scored 32 and having conceded 35

 

This season is the most bazaar season we have ever seen in the premiership no team is having a season they expect. Look at Leicester 5 points clear at the top who last season finished bottom after the three teams were relegated, Then there is Chelsea who won the premiership last season who are now in a relegation battle. If you had put a bet on at the beginning of the season you would make a tidy sum of money......It's predicted that the winners will have the lowest points total and the safety will be the lowest to survive also......It has been a nightmare season for favourite backers and a one off season that i doubt we will ever see too often...

 

42 is my lucky number ......think in the end it will be close to our end total .

 

37 if we keep on throwing points away but should be safe enough...

 

ANORAK STAT STILL PENDING: In home matches, the Swans haven’t scored in front of the Family Stand (ie in the second half) since the win against Man U on August 30th 2015.

The stat above is still pending after a miserable outing against Southampton which means by the time Norwich arrive at the Liberty on March 5th the Swans will have gone from August 2015 right through until March 2016 without scoring in the second half at home.

We lost at home (0-1) to the Saints last season, so there is no real change in the overall picture compared to last season, however in the 2015/16 season our points prediction based on a points per game ratio has now dropped to 39.

Interesting stats there PGF, thanks mate, lets hope they prove right at the end of the season.........

 

I doubt we get anywhere near 42 points, we will be lucky to get 34 points the way we are playing,

 

4 wins , 4 draws , 4 losses ..........43 points .

 

Well said Breezy, good to see some positive vibes on here.........

 

What positives We are on the verge of relegation ffs ...There is no comparison to last season whatsoever...

 

Not feeling to good about this thread suddenly , a week from now will tell all .

 

I haven't mentally recovered enough from yesterday yet to work it out

 

Poor management yesterday coupled with spurs far superior fitness that can last the whole game where a lot of our players cant. Even when we scored first i dont think spurs worried too much as by studying us told them we will run out of steam and whether we stay in the premiership or not we have to rectify this.....

 

A good start to the game at Spurs saw the Swans take the lead, but then we sat back like a boxer on the ropes taking unopposed punishment until Spurs delivered two knockout blows.

We showed we can compete against the top clubs, which is promising for our tough run in, but we need to be a bit more savvy tactically to start picking up essential points.

From our last three away games we have got four points (Everton W, WBA D, Spurs L). If we had drawn all three we would have been delighted – so you could say we have got a bonus point!! It’s our home form which is leaving us down.

We lost at White Hart Lane last season, so there is no real change in the overall picture compared to last season, however in the 2015/16 season our points prediction based on a points per game ratio has now dropped to 38.

This season we have improved our results against the following teams:

Well let's see the update whitey ....and without the trip to the Emirates tagging along at the end ...lol

 

Jesus, there won't be many season ticket renewals in the Family Stand next season. Poor bastards.

 

I didn't get back until 3am last night so will update tonight!

 

PGF - take your time, because as you said above

"Compared to last season we are currently on schedule for: 42pts (If we get the same results in the remaining corresponding games, including an away win at The Emirates)" - we won, so still on schedule for 42pts!
