𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜 The 26 players Sunderland should look to sign in the January Window... Includes: 11 strikers / 5 wingers / 10 midfielders (Thread 🧵) #SAFC

We’re in a cluster alongside the clubs currently sat 1st-3rd. Although they’re 3 of the top 4 scorers where as we’re joint 13. Over the course of the season we’ve had the ball close to the goal a lot. It’s very promising. The foundations are laid. Final piece needed. #SAFC 📊📈

@SebC__ Hasn’t really been any names mentioned as they stated it would be a summer decision. I’m torn between a young trendy coach or a ‘gaffer’ type. (Yes I’m sitting on the fence) 🤣

@SebC__ We’ve kept adding to the squad but now there’s a big summer ahead of squad building towards fixing the starting XI with signings and the new head coach.

@Gerry_McGregor Expected goals. Basically the likeliness of a shot going into the net based on a large sample size of similar shots. So you want a high xG. But you want the opponent to have a low xG.

@SebC__ Lower 😅

@FcRedandwhite @RokerReport League is 2013. But Peterborough beat us in the middle of that. So all comps in 2006.

@SR3Tain

@LRosssseee Might be a bit of a flawed logic but if you take away his goals then we’d have lost these points against: 2 v Blackburn 2 v Norwich 1 v Millwall 2 v Hull 1 v Rotherham 1 v Middlesbrough Doesn’t really cover games that he’s put us 1-0 up in for example which is also important.

@siousxiethedog This explains it slightly. Dieng was unlucky to have screamers go in against him on a weekly basis at the start of the season if I remember correctly.

@jsjwhaley Minimum 1000 minutes

Must say I’m not a big fan of prevented goals as a metric. PSxG is far greater to use for goalkeepers but wyscout doesn’t collect that type of data.

@dannysando @swainy997 Technically just the 1 as we won a league cup game in our 2nd fixture.

@Martin_Forster_ We beat Peterborough in the cup in the middle of that.

@TheRokerMackem We beat Peterborough in the cup in between that. Depends if you want to use just league games or all competitions.

@swainy997 Not sure on the record but we managed 15 defeats in a row at the end of the 02/03 season.

@LRosssseee 2005 October - December = 9
