11 of Ralls' 35 Championship goals (which includes 3 for Yeovil) were penalties. All of those penalties were scored between 2016/17 and 2020/21, which has probably skewed the appearance of his scoring stats a bit. His league goals tallies without penalties are as follows:Quote:

To be fair the comparison is with Matt Grimes who also takes penalties and corners for them.Quote:

I think its 4 pens for Grimes so 6 or 7 non-penalty goals?Quote:

I wasn't looking to draw a comparison with Grimes in this instance - I was merely looking at the apparent change in Ralls' scoring rate.Quote:

Do you remember his penalties? They were poor, he used to strike the ball close to the keeper, they went in, but we're far from convincing. Although I like Joe, he's done well for us and no doubt the club have done well for him.Quote:

A Cardiff boy, now Swansea's captain.

His departure has been greeted with dismay by supporters, and indeed by his colleagues. In fact, the suggestion is it's gone down badly with the rest of the squad.
Insiders who witnessed his farewell at Fairwood on Tuesday have painted the picture of a tense atmosphere within the camp, with some first-team players understood to have been angered by the timing of his exit.
One source claims only three players actually spoke to the outgoing captain before he left. Brilliant :hehe:
To lose your skipper midway through the season is always a blow. To do so when you're trying to turn around a run of form that's yielded just one point out of a possible 15 is something else altogether. Superb :hehe:
Those assessments are understandable. After all, Andy Coleman himself once said that the sign of a good window was one where Swansea ended it stronger than when they started. At the moment, it's hard to see how that happens, particularly after losing someone of Grimes' calibre. Tidy :hehe:

The player they have signed has to be loaned back :hehe:

Grimes move to Coventry completed. Coventry are away at Swansea tomorrow

Plenty of people are still angry at Ledley.Quote:

Would make Ralls eligible too.
