Three Poorest Teams

[az city]

I know it's silly at this early stage but from what I've seen on Paramount+:

1. Plymouth
2. Derby
3. Cardiff

After one game against a decent team, where we had better stats overall?

Yes very silly!

It's been one game of the season so far.

What makes you believe Sunderland are a decent team? They finished 16th last season.

Why are Sunderland suddenly a 'decent' team when they beat us 0-2 at CCS? That was the 'whippet' out of the trap game for us. We were nobbled by our sausage of a clueless manager. And if anyone posts f*cking stats again as if they're some redeeming factor...can't wait to see the next match at home and have better possession again. It's really exciting.

:hehe: you beat me to it by getting straight to the point and less flowery copy! I need a sub-editor.

Youre wasting your time. Its like trying to debate with someone who sticks their fingers in their ear and shouts la-la-la-la whilst youre trying to talk. I wasted enough of last season on Comical NCB, the guy is insane. Its futile even trying to reason with him.

On the subject of stats, their XG was 1.69 and ours was 0.99 so not sure where these better stats come from.

Based on the game we saw and how organised they looked, they have a few decent players, without the ball they were all back in position and made it very difficult for us. Of course, it's hard to know for sure one way or the other but based on that game I think they'll do quite well.

Betting odds have them around 8th https://www.oddschecker.com/football...ship/promotion

More possession
More shots
More blocked shots
Same on target
Same corners
I can't remember them having free kicks from dangerous positions, we wasted two.

Although all irrelevant the only stat that mattered was we lost 0-2

They are a decent team, but it's very early, overall very disappointing, especially NG's defending, we gifted them two poor goals.

Re: Three Poorest Teams

Before a ball was kicked this season Sunderland were rated 11th by the bookmakers. The Racing Post pundits predicted they’d finish 19th.

They have some decent players for sure, but there’s little evidence yet to suggest that they are a good team by this division’s standards.

Time will tell, it's hard to judge until a few games in probably ten is the first marker, before that it's all subjective personal opinion and guesswork.

The bookies think around 8th let's see.

They think 20th for City. You’re not prepared to accept that prediction as being realistic, but you are seemingly keen to accept their Sunderland prediction. It’s almost as if one prediction suits your view but the other doesn’t.

For it’s worth, I don’t think City will finish 20th, but I don’t think Sunderland will finish 8th either.

The only stat that matters is if you win, if you don’t stats don’t mean anything.

They didn’t have to make things difficult for us. They barely had to move from their shape.

Re: Three Poorest Teams

In a few games time Sunderland will be on the end of a leathering

And their fans will be moaning

Ours are very good at it but they all like a go
