the boy from saints Posted 10 February, 2022 Share Posted 10 February, 2022 So here's my attempt to carry on Minsk's great work. It won't be as good but I'd enjoy seeing the scores move each game, so I hope you do as well! Match Day 23 Match Day Comparison: Last season we lost at home to Wolves (2-1). So last night's stunning result almost brings us down to 0. Win on Saturday and we would have officially turned the comparative corner. -1 points; +1 GD Head-to-Head Comparison: Last season we lost this fixture 2-1, so the win increases our points and GD here too. +15 points; +13 GD Next up on Match Day 24 is an away trip to Old Trafford (Saturday 12.30 KO on BT Sports). Last season's Head to Head was the infamous, second 9-0 and in the Match Day Comparison we achieved a creditable home draw against Chelsea. I read an article that rated our remaining games as second easiest (with Brighton the most easy) so you'd expect our points difference in both categories to carry on improving! COYRs! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 10 February, 2022 Share Posted 10 February, 2022 The head to head comparison really does show an incredible improvement on last season, despite being predicted to get relegated after selling what many outsiders naively described as our two best players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for continuing the good work Minsk has put in, would have been a shame to see it wasted. It's so positive looking at this though, the head to head comparison is kind of suggestive that we may end up in the 50's points wise this year. I didn't see that and I thought we'd struggle without Ings goals, but credit to the scouting as we've filled the hole better than I could have imagined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame the old boy couldn't hang around for another four days, my condolences to his family.

Sheaf Saint Posted 12 February, 2022 Share Posted 12 February, 2022 (edited) So so sorry to get this news. Minsk was a regular on here for as long as I can remember, and he always came across as thoughtful and knowledgeable. Definitely one of the posters that made this place worth sticking around. I've always said that I could go to my grave happy if I go with the knowledge that I have made a positive impact on at least one person in the world, and I hope Minsk knew that he achieved just that with his valuable contributions to this community over the years. Rest in peace mate. Edited 12 February, 2022 by Sheaf Saint 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
