The momentum graph you shared shows it was pretty even game. Far from us being ‘battered’ and we certainly had our own moments where should’ve scored. Again, rewatch the highlights of the game, the showcased chances were predominantly from us.
If you think stats are meaningless, momentum graphs...
As I say, facts are friendly and their big chances came from defensive errors which isn’t good enough. We have a chance cleared off the line, EMC misses from 3 yards and Eccles heads over a big chance. Score one of those, particularly at 1-1 and we probably win the game.
The idea that they...
It was end to end and the stats reflect that because both teams had 9 and 8 shots respectively. Their xG for that half was 0.44 xG and ours was slightly better at 0.63. When your talking to someone who readily say ‘stats mean nothing’, it’s just a waste of time.
Haji actually forced a good...
They had 1 more shot than us than in total in that first half… what are you talking about? 😂
Last season, Norwich actually battered us and to demonstrate the difference, see attachments.
He wasn’t really a regular starter but a credible role player for a Brentford side that was mostly a midtable side and have never been in real danger of relegation.
Why anyone would have objections to signing him is beyond me.
I could be wrong, the one Twitter guy is supposedly a local BBC journo, that’s possibly why.
The same Twitter profile has only been active a short while (2025) and as far as I could see had no credible ‘hits’ on other clubs in the local area (Rotherham).
EMC and Wright’s chances were at 1-1 so if EMC scores a 3 yard header, we probably win the game (or at least don’t lose). Haji also had the best chance of the first half too when the ball ricocheted off a defender to him. Eccles’ header at 2-1 down should’ve been a goal, I’ve rewatched it and...
No, but Sheff U are skint and in a bad place. Players also want to also play at the highest level they can so it’s just down to money.
Maybe Blues can splash the cash but they’re not gonna go up this year.
For clarity, is it just that guy?
I’ve been pretty convinced we’ll complete the deal since the Nigerian source claimed we were ‘nailed on’ and now the BBC and a Sky journo are claiming we’re progressing it.
Which is why I think it’s tactical. You’re right he could make that choice, but the calculation is push on ahead.
Without re-running the convo from Monday, we actually didn’t concede any big chances from those counter attacks. Their winner came from a completely unforced error that they latched...
Yes, I moved back to Cov last year and I’d be one of those parents that’d take kids to every home game from about 8-10. IIRC, that’s when I started going by regularly with JSB and could sit through a game.
I will certainly agree with that, for me the reason why we’ve been quite exposed is deliberate.
We set out to win the ball high up and accept when that doesn’t happen, we retreat into a narrow shape. There have been times where we’ve just not picked up the loose balls or been physical enough to...
