There's been a lot of talk about #nufc progress lately, so I thought I'd make a thread.

Originally I was going to compare Bruce's first 19 games of 19/20 with his first 19 of 20/21, but after his 'mighty Rafa' comment I thought I'd also compare Rafa's last 19 games of 18/19.
1. Points

Rafa 18/19 - 28
Bruce 19/20 - 25
Bruce 20/21 - 19

4. Average Possesion per game

Rafa 18/19 - 40.8
Bruce 19/20 - 34.8
Bruce 20/21 - 38.1

Mixed. This season is an improvement from last but both of Bruce's seasons are worse than Rafa's last 19 games in charge.
5. Xg For - Average Per Game

Rafa 18/19 - 1.16
Bruce 19/20 - 0.79

Bruce 19/20 - 1.55
Bruce 20/21 - 1.47

Progression or Regression?

Mixed. Bruce's stats in 20/21 have slightly improved in comparison to last season but both are significantly worse than Rafa in the last 19 games of 18/19
7. Goal difference

Rafa 18/19 - +6
Bruce 19/20 - - 9
Bruce 20/21 - - 14

Progression or Regression?

Regression
Overall.

It's clear to see that the team is not only worse than it was under Rafa in the final 19 games of the 18/19 season, but also worse than it was under Bruce at the start of last season.
