All of a sudden positivity returns, the impossible may well be possible and Steve Cooper continues to defy the odds. Sadly Phil didn’t.
Swansea City v Wycombe Wanderers
EFL Championship
Saturday April 17th 2021
Kick off 12.30pm
Liberty Stadium
Match Officials
KEITH from STROUD
Jonathan Hunt and Sam Lewis
Fourth Official: Joshua Smith
The last time we saw Keith from Stroud at the Liberty was for the 3-1 defeat to Bristol City where the swans committed more individual errors than in any game this season.
Is it on the TV ?
Only via Swans TV and whatever Wycombe and their three fans watch games on.
Wycombe manager
Gareth Ainsworth, loves hair and likes to be different.
The stats for prats
Swans record v Wycombe
Games won: 7
Games drawn: 2
Games lost: 6
Last game was at the Adams family park where the attendance looked like the Covid lockdown had been stopped. It was a 2-0 win for the swans but shoulda been a lot more.
Big day for Phil
Unfortunately for followers of royalty and similar things HRH Phil will be planted on this day, hence the earlier kick off time. Phil wasn't the most popular chap in the royal family, he had slightly old fashioned ideas, luckily he never once switched to a 422, and always played with three up front. We hope he has a fairly trouble free journey.
Phil, we are not sure if he is alive or dead here, but it’s D day Saturday
Timmy Mallet that well known kids presenter from generations gone by visited the Adams family stadium this week. He’s mad is Timmy, look at him being whacky, you don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps.

you can have the best stats in every game, but if you don't win they mean nothing, we kept the ball for 85 mins, made 1000 passes, won 100% of headers, but didn't score and lost the game 2-0, stats be f....
Every day as become a minefield of stats and data, how did we manage, when stats and data were never mentioned, waste of time in every day life and in sport.
Football/sport intelligence and game plans/tactics win the day. |
If you have "the best stats" in every game you're probably going to win the majority of them. Top managers and players wouldn't focus on things like xG if they weren't valuable tools of the trade. Stats are a great way to analyse specific aspects of a team's performances and find where things are going right/wrong. An exception where you lose despite playing well doesn't make looking at those stats worthless, it just means football is complex. Of course you can't look at number of passes played and know who won the match. |  | | |

Unfortunately "stats", as much as I like them do not always win football games, or even describe the outcome.
They are won by goals.
I have seen plenty of games where one team are total favourites, have 70% to 80% possession, 30 shots on goal, 10 on target and still lose 1:0 to 3 shots and just the one on target. |
It’s about probabilities and the long term effects of those probabilities on your season and results as a whole.
Have 70% possession every game and more chances than the opposition. You will win more than you lose. It doesn’t mean you will win every time though.
Have 30% possession every game and less chances than the opposition. You will lose more than you win. Doesn’t mean you will lose every time though.
That’s the issue with looking at football through a micro lens, it doesn’t allow for a larger picture to form. Which is why the noisy lot don’t like hearing we are 3rd. |  |
