They are good at what they do and it's effective otherwise they wouldn't be where they are in the table and...
Exactly like us.
...as I pointed out, their results have been better than ours in the second half of the season by a decent margin.
We have been unlucky, and they have been lucky.
When it comes to quality chances our performances have been better than theirs.
Correct me if I am wrong:
Swansea 1:3 Bristol
We lost, but should have won. That's 3 points.
Swansea 0:1 Cardiff
Should've won. Another 3 points.
Birmingham 1:0 Swansea
Dhanda slipped in our penalty box and unintentionally committed a foul. Unlucky. Birmingham scored in 91' minute from the penalty spot. That's one point.
Swansea 0:1 Preston
Unlucky with Matt Grimes own goal in 91' minute. One more point.
Swansea 2:2 Wycombe
Created enough chances to beat them. Two more points.
Swansea 0:1 QPR
They didn't create more than we did. Smith missed a big chance, and they converted their big chance in 90' minute. We didn't deserve 3 points, but we deserved one point for sure.
Reading 2:2 Swansea
We should have won this one. 2 more points.
That's 13 points difference.
In the second half of the season only three teams deserved to beat us: Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Watford. And let's say Brentford, although we were pretty much in the game until Kyle Naughton was sent off.
What about Barnsley? Well, I haven't had time to watch the highlights from their last 23 matches, but I've watched the last 10. And they should've lost 6 of these. Which means they flattered to deceive.
...we were getting those late penalties to win/draw games our performances scarcely deserved.
Two games. Stoke and Middlesbrough.
I really don't understand why would a late penalty be any different than an early penalty? Football matches are played until the final whistle, and our late penalties mean we attacked their box. Were they soft penalties? Yes. But what about the penalties awarded to Bristol and Birmingham against us?
@ivoralljack I hope you never forget that I'm not a native English speaker. I am aware some of my sentences are not properly constructed and can be misinterpreted in a wrong way. Especially when I write my post from my phone, which I do often. When I wrote "You should have asked me about their REAL form" I should have added this smiley
. Without a smiley the quoted sentence sounds condenscending.
