Quite a similar age profile to Leeds.And finally comparing squad ages from championship. Average for us 25.5 but obviously we had oldies Wilson, Bidders and Allen.
For all the noice about how Sunderland were the youngest squad we weren’t that far behind!
Notice the old uns at Derby and Blackburn!

They’re currently pre-occupied with remembering to breathe and trying to spell their own first names correctly (without eating the crayons).Getting my popcorn ready for the “stats don’t mean anything” crowd.
Ben Mayhew of Experimental 3-6-1 does an excellent season stats review and it really was an excellent season for City.
Nothing that we don’t already know (our defence was shit but not quite as bad as we thought and our attackers couldn’t hit a Bern door with a banjo) but interesting comparisons to other teams in the division.

It’s only natural to want an overhaul of our front line after being eliminated in two games where we consistently failed to carve out or take chances. But it’s the defence that has been the real problem for two straight years now, whereas going forward we are clearly one of the league’s better teams.I'd interpret as: our attack was good; our defence bang average. It suggests we need to invest in our defense, though I've been suggesting a new Centre Forward and Right Winger... Perhaps the forwards are just easier positions to understand than the defense.
Love how we spent the most days in our favourite position of 17th, sometimes familiarity is what you wantAnd this is the movement up and down the league table. Notice obvious shift from November….

Attacking well overall isn't a cover for certain low performing individuals to hide behind. We'll be actively looking to upgrade multiple positions. Sounds like the LB, which is a definite problem position, will hopefully be sorted soon.I'd interpret as: our attack was good; our defence bang average. It suggests we need to invest in our defense, though I've been suggesting a new Centre Forward and Right Winger... Perhaps the forwards are just easier positions to understand than the defense.
Nice to see our old favourite league position of 17th being where we spent most of our daysAnd this is the movement up and down the league table. Notice obvious shift from November….

Early days yet.PERCENTAGE OF 2024-25 LEAGUE MINUTES ACCUMULATED BY PLAYERS STILL AT EACH CLUB EACH SEGMENT IS A PLAYER, WITH SIZE PROPORTIONAL TO MINUTES PLAYED LAST SEASON, IN DESCENDING ORDER
DARK-SHADED SEGMENTS INDICATE PLAYER STILL AT CLUB, LIGHT-SHADED SEGMENTS ARE THOSE WHO HAVE LEFT
(Sorry for caps. Copied text above for those with terrible sight!)
Squad retention looks to be in our favour too this year.
Consistent and no loans means with 2 or 3 additions we’ll have a very good squad this season.
There are only three teams who currently have more than 90% of their 2024-25 league minutes still in the building, with four having already dropped below two-thirds.
Sheff Weds look in a mess!
