SHA Small Heath Alliance

Long time reader, first time poster here. I'm still optimistic about our season so I've written a piece explaining why. I also looked a little more deeply at the set piece data that worries me, and offer a suggestion for improvement. Feel free to give it a read and let me know how wrong I am in the replies. Thanks and KRO!

Really like this, well done

That's a good read , well done

Well written and really good analysis. I think there is a case for optimism- and possibly an even greater case for patience, particularly with our manager.

Really like this mate, well put together 👍

Good piece but I'm not really sure why you think getting Eustace back is a good idea. Are you just trying to start the debate again?

On the scatter graph shots/shots on target
Who is the team top right corner I.e best score for both?

Cheers

Oh I'm not suggesting we get Eustace back, apologies if that wasn't clear. I am suggesting we hire (or at least consider hiring) a set-piece consultant. I mentioned Eustace because his move to Derby garnered a lot of media attention, but there's a reasonable case that their survival was just as reliant on someone who garnered none at all.

Yeah I was wondering this. A quick google suggests it's Coventry

Don't worry, I haven't read it yet, I was being SHA-ist.


I wish I'd have said Rooney now.

Getting murdered on set pieces tonight, 2nd balls after Klarer wins the first are all Wrexham's

I believe that's Coventry. They've had 137 Shots, 43 on target. Interestingly they are also taking shots from the closest average distance to goal compared to any other side in the league. You can see why they're so prolific.

Excellent work

Nice facts, well presented. CD is no fool and will surely be looking at ways to mitigate our shortcomings

‘Not all chances are created equally, those created on counter-attacks are much more successful than those created against set’

An argument for leaving one of our smaller players upfield on opposition corners maybe?
