Actually even more than that now. He averages 100.2 passes per game. Swansea as a team average over 600.

That's using his model which weights certain characteristics higher than others to try & find a specific type of Centre Back. Because of Hyam's role for us he does a lot of progressing the ball so scores highly.

Such a shame Robins was forced into signing him against his will...

Fairs, wrongly thought it was you who said he was stealing a wage. Apologies.

Not really the player's fault that though is it?

I don't think anyone is saying they "don't count" but if you want to make a genuine like for like comparison it is best practice to omit them. One player having significantly more free shots at goal with an almost 80% probability of scoring will naturally skew the numbers. By all means look at...

Well, penalties shouldn't be included really & it should be done based on minutes or per 90 if you really want to compare like for like.

Harsh. From what I know he's never kicked up a fuss & has always worked hard, not like Kastaneer etc.

Do we not already do similar? And have been for much longer? They have only been going down the "affordable/sustainable" route for this & last season as their Parachute Payments are drying up. Whilst it sounds impressive written like that, it took a huge write off of bad investments to get...

Kelly starting I reckon

Yeah, I'm struggling with this a bit... He's been excellent for us & being captain & the leader & organiser certainly deserves reward yet at the same time he agreed the contract knowing the clauses etc. so doesn't really have a leg to stand on 🤷🏼‍♂️

We scored first v Blackburn at Home.

Absolutely. My list from a few months back now was: Ross Sykes (Accrington) Jack Tucker (Gillingham) Harry Darling (MK Dons) Ricardo Santos (Bolton) Luke McNally (Oxford) Think McNally will certainly have more attractive options now though. Depends how affordable any of the others might be...

Interesting, sounds like he's automatically triggered an extension by starting 50% of league games but he's not overly happy with the terms & wants to negotiate... Not sure how much luck he'll have with that, he agreed the clause.

It's 26, we had 2 x 0-0's (back to back vs Sheff Utd & Birmingham) the rest of your math looks sound 👍🏻

Yeah, fair point, perhaps just incredibly slow 😁 Still, classy player though, shouldn't really be tarred with the same brush as the other shite we had at the time.

😳

Terrific young player, big fan.
