TWO days after Jody Morris and Ed Brand left their respective roles as coaches at Swindon Town, Adver Sport takes a look at the pair’s reign and the numbers involved.

22.2 – Morris’ win percentage during his 18 games as Town head coach. Only four people in the club’s history – to have been in charge for 10 or more games – have an inferior record. Paul Hart still props up the table with 9.1 per cent, while Les Allen (20.3) and John Gorman (20.6) are also in the relegation zone – although Gorman’s reign was in the Premier League, so he can be let off somewhat.

41 – If Morris’ 16 points in 18 fixtures is converted across the course of a whole season, Town would be planning for life in the National League on 41 points with no hope of survival – relegated. Only four wins were achieved under the club’s former head coach, and even a couple of those were far from convincing.

Five – Town’s top scorer under Morris was Charlie Austin with five – four of which came in the same game. The other was against Sutton United, in case you’re interested.

Two – Only a couple of players featured in every single one of the games Morris took charge of. Sol Brynn is the only player to start all 18 matches, while Remeao Hutton came on as a substitute in the 1-0 defeat away at Tranmere Rovers to maintain his 100 per cent record.

24 – The number of different players used by Swindon’s recently departed head coach during his three-month stint. A few more men made the bench on multiple occasions but were never thrown into the action – see Ricky Aguiar, Jaxon Brown, Jack Copland, and Conor Brann.

-3 – Swindon’s goal difference under Morris. Town scored 23 goals – helped by a couple of four and five-goal hauls, respectively – while conceding 26 thanks to eight games of letting in two-plus goals per 90 minutes.

17 – When Morris took over at Swindon, the club were sixth. Following his first game in charge – a 2-1 reverse at Newport County, the club dropped to eighth but were level on points with seventh-place Mansfield Town. At the end of his reign, Town are 17 points below the dotted line (but thankfully 16 points above the dreaded one below).
