Not sure what anyone sees in MPH. He shouldn't be anywhere near our starting XI. |

Ah, that's my problem right there. I paid to watch on Swans TV. |

If you're referring to Anthony O'C, I guess half the problem is that he's sitting in a room at The Liberty watching on a screen, so doesn't get the atmosphere from the stadium. If he's quiet it's because the sound he's being given from the stadium is too low. When he's at the Liberty he has to raise his voice to be heard over the crowd noise. Plus he doesn't have co-comms this season - not sure why that is.
Mind you - he's not the brightest. Last week he commented that there were 4 Norwich subs warming up when there should only be 3. Except that rule has changed - you can now have 5 subs warming up. |

Yes they are. Not the club as such but the company in charge of the stream. |

I watched the paid-for SwansTV on my laptop and the audio was ahead. Very annoying. |

Not sure what that has to do with anything. I was merely pointing out that the list in the OP isn't quite right. It mentions all the other players that are on loan but not Mepham. |

Do you feel the same when you see the likes of Derby County and Bolton Wanderers in a league below us? |

It always amuses me when posters use phrases like "most of us" or "the vast majority of us". You can only know that by conducting a statistically significant poll of the fans. I presume you didn't do that.
Personally, I don't want to get promoted playing turgid football. |

No.
Imagine having to watch Luton style football every week. |

To be clear, I said that I didn't know whether he was correct that we were 5th in the xGA table. I was merely pointing out that being at the top end of the xGA table is good (because it's an upside down table) - which some people didn't seem to understand.
Also, different models calculate xGA (and xG for that matter) in different ways so it depends where he's getting his stats from.
Either way, I'd be quite happy to see the back of him. |

I'm no fan of Duff but he's right about xGA. I don't know why people are struggling with this.
xGA is a measure of how many goal chances you allow the opposition. A low number is good, the lower it is the higher you are in the table. So if we're fifth in the table, that's pretty good. We're currently the fifth best in the league at restricting good chances for the opposition.
I can't confirm that we're fifth but he has analysts that tell him this.
On the flip side, I bet our xG is really low. Which is bad. |

I'm confused. Some people were complaining that Martin was playing 5 at the back when clearly we were playing 3. Some people were complaining that we were playing 3 and wanted to play 4.
So which is it with Duff? Darling, Cabango and Wood are clearly a back 3. Key and Ashby spending most of their time in advanced positions don't make it a back 5.
Many teams play 3 at the back now, and the reasons are obvious. Firstly, you can easily switch to 3 when in possession and 5 when not, if you feel like it. Secondly, many teams only play one up front, sometimes two, so having a back 5 against one striker makes absolutely no sense. You end up being overrun in midfield. Even 4 against one makes no sense.
And to suggest (not you) that that the manager doesn't know what's going on on the field is laughable, IMHO. |
