Swansea v Norwich, Sat 25 Oct, 15:00
So what is going on at Swansea in the last few matches. The incredibly lucky draw at Southampton and the turgid home defeat to QPR.
Some statistics, home team first:
Saints: Expected goals 3.26/ 0.21, shots on target 8/1, touches in opp box 42/8
QPR: Expected goals 0.44/2.24, shots on target 2/4, touches in opp box 19/37
In the last two matches we have managed 3 shots on target in three hours and twelve minutes of football
Saints away 98 minutes. Our one shot on target was by sub Casey 90min
Nothing on target in the 89 minutes of normal time.
QPR home 94 minutes. Our two shots on target were by our subs in added time 91min Widell, 92min Vipotnik. Nothing on target in the 90 mins of normal time in a home match, is that a record? It’s certainly a new low.
What formation and tactics are these, especially at home?
We are certainly capable of much better than this. Sheehan is not getting the best out of these players. He got the job on the basis of last seasons impressive run when he was put in temporary charge. He needs to get back to what he did well then, starting tomorrow against Norwich.
