Last time I checked Lecce play in Italy???

Absolutely no relevance whatsoever.

That's like saying because Shevchenko scored 100 of goals at Milan you can make a comparison to suggest that he'd do the same in England.

The Championship is the 4th highest watched league in Europe (behind Spain, Germany and the Premiership) and is deemed by experts as more competitive than the top divisions in Scotland, France and Portugal. Success in the Championship is much harder than success in Serie B or any of the other European 2nd divisions.

Here's one STAT from Lecce:

De Canio achieved 7 points from 10 matches and the club were relegated to Serie B.

ty for the stats sirpie:very_sad:

Sirpie good stats that show that QPR would almost certainly have fared much better this season if Sousa had not had his contract terminated.

We might not all have seen such great football as we did in October with Magilton, but it would have been better than last season with players such as Routledge, Buzsaky, Tarrabt & Simpson (presuming they would all have been signed on for Sousa).

And we definitely would have kept some more clean sheets and lost far less games along with consistancy than we did by appointing Magilton.

I still preferred Jim myself. I was well deflated with PS's footy style.

Point for some style for others, each to their own eh!

apparently Swansea are a poorer squad than us so surely his stats should be all the more impressive given thee fact they include Swansea results as well!

[m_cooper]

according to jim gannon at peterboro,we are the worst second half team in the division?not sure if that is true;but it could well be.surely if so,it means we are not fit enough

Thanks for the well research stats, final nail in the coffin of this debate for me, also makes me sick to the teeth to think what could have been.

Don't expect a reasoned response or better still a response at all.

I read the Swans Forum a lot, for much of Sept and start of October did you know Swansea were without 11 first teamers and obviously minus their 2 best players who had been sold following Martinez's exit.

according to jim gannon at peterboro,we are the worst second half team in the division?not sure if that is true;but it could well be.surely if so,it means we are not fit enough

Always toff my hat to Dowie for bringing in John Harbin for that. Though Sousa should also take credit for recognising the great work he was doing with the players fitness and continuing that relationship after Dowie was sacked.

we have normally been a much better team in the 2nd half especially at home.
