Possibly good for clubs who have injured players close to returning, but also bad for clubs who have sent players out and they come back injured. Knowing our luck, Martial, De Gea and Smalling will all return with cruciate ligament damage.
Knowing our luck, Kaboul will pull his hamstring pushing his trolley up isle 14 in Tesco's . Yet another player made of glass FFS, we certainly know how to pick the crocks.
I'd be tempted to put Eboue in against West Brom, even if he is injured, he couldn't be any worse that Yedlin or Jones FFS.
Sunderland points per game this season - 0.86 - projected finish at this rate - 33 points Allardyce points per game since taking over - 1.05 - projected finish at this rate - 34 points. Allardyce points per game since January window - 1.27 - projected finish at this rate - 36 points. Points gained from corresponding reverse to fixtures you have left this season - 3 (Win vs Stoke) shocking stat if it actually meant anything! Newcastle points per game this season - 0.83 - projected finish at this rate - 32 points Newcastle points per game since January window - 0.72 - projected finish at this rate - 31 points Points gained from corresponding reverse to fixtures they have left this season - 11 Norwich points per game this season - 0.9 - projected finish at this rate - 34 points Norwich points per game since January window - 0.66 - projected finish at this rate - 33 points Points gained from corresponding reverse to fixtures they have left this season - 8 Just a little bit of meaningless analysis, the teams are where they are cos they've been **** all season, so it's no surprise that the figures make for bleak reading. Obviously Sunderland are playing probably their most consistent football of the season, but they have to sort out their inability to keep a clean sheet or start scoring more goals per game to counter that. Newcastle have changed the manager, not really fair to look at his impact thus far but it may or may not play a part in their next 8 games. Norwich have kept two clean sheets on the spin and are at home to both clubs, which could be a big advantage. The race for 4th is hotting up, so any team playing City, West Ham, United, Saints, Stoke or Liverpool should be expecting a tough game as teams scramble for that place. Stats suggest Sunderland are in ascendancy since January, which is one positive I guess.
Always my work. Glad you found it interesting I was just killing some time, bit bored this morning. Not like that Brian, always steeling stuff off that lovely chap on Roker Report.
Great stats and proves that Sam has strengthened the team with only the Jan window to a points level if applied all season would mean safety.
Steady progress innit, even in a short space of time, and you've had some very tough games in that period since January. A few more windows with Sam Allardyce bringing in his sort of players and you should start to look comfortable in this league once and for all. Obviously, the big test is getting to the next window with your PL status in tact.
