Kopparberg Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Only 3 teams with a better goal difference than us: West Brom Leeds Brentford All these 3 are above us in the table. Our +13 GD was obviously helped on Saturday... we’re doing pretty well... and we’ve probably not bagged as many as we could have. Shows our style of play is productive?

PeteG_1984 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 It’s weird how we’ve struggled to score and finish off loads of games this season, which has cost us points. However, we’ve had the odd game like Saturday, against Boro and Reading where just gone ballistic. This coupled with our defeats being narrow ones has helped our goal difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rtherner Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Brentford got that "freak" 7-0 win over Luton to help their GD, they would've been at around 8-9 like Preston and Fulham with just a normal win of a goal or such difference. And so would we :) But I'll take any help from GD we can get! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Love Fletcher but we need goals from others too or we can forget top six. Great that Rhodes has found his scoring boots. Reach even had a shot too. Maybe the EFL will just deduct us 9 goals instead of points - that feels about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Saturday last, and the season in general, so far, it's difficult to think about EFL actions. As for GD, Wednesday needs to keep striking. Wednesday looks good this season, in spite of the questionable calls by the Refs on the pitch, and the same off the pitch regarding the EFL. SWFC needs goals, not just a 1-0 win, or a 0-1 win, but enough goals to add to the GD, and Saturday last did add some, in this case it was 0-4. Was it a fluke, luck? Maybe, but it is certainly NOT luck, or fluke, that Wednesday stands where they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our luck has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Luck hasn't changed, Wednesday has changed, looking better now, than across the last ~20+ years, especially across the last 5 years, never mind the "legalities", the Squad is making believers, out of the non-believers, both on the pitch, and this Forum. You're right Holmowl it's not a fluke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 We are a better team when we play 4-4-2 with two wingers. Keep the formation and keep 2 up front and we will end the season scoring a lot of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the EFL were to do that you can guarantee that the goals they deduct would all be related to games that we won by a margin of one goal. Thus, in effect, deducting us 18 points !

lanzaroteowl Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I'm sure I heard this morning that only Man City have scored more away goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Goal Difference rarely lies. I can only recall Huddersfield as a freak when they got promoted a few seasons back with a -2 GD. Our GD is excellent and tells a story. Nobody is beating us easily. 6 defeats, each by one goal. How on Earth did we not get more points from Blackburn, Hull, Millwall and West Brom. Only at Preston and home to QPR we we clearly the worse team. In contrast our wins are more comfortable:- 1 by 4 goals 1 by 3 goals 4 by 2 goals 4 by 1 goal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Give Luongo a run of games and he'll add to his tally. He's already got 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It took us a while to adapt to to Slav then it clicked. Wednesday was the same with Monk. I do think some online fans here unestimate your squad I don't think the off field distraction helps. and Ithink i you could've been closer to us without it. I been posting almost 11 years and I've not known a time without drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
