We were a much better team that finally broke down a very defensive team who at the time were 2nd in the league

Promotion winning levels to be fair.

That's what promotion winning teams do.
Where this idea came from that they blow teams away week in and week out is beyond me.

That’s hopefully the reason why performances have dipped yeah. Although it’s not really half is it, it’s one or two other than the Wrexham game.

We were back to full strength minus Rudoni on Saturday and played a very well controlled game. For other games we've had to improvise with BTA out of position, and started with undercooked midfields against Blackburn, Watford and Wrexham.

Expecting us to maintain the xG numbers we were hitting under more ideal squad selection circumstances is unrealistic.

Can't wait to see us lift that underlying stat trophy!
And our stats are fine, we've dropped off from a level that we were never going to maintain.

15 in, top of the league, 1 defeat, 11 clear of the nearest parachute club, can't believe some people aren't happy.

Out of interest what are our stats up to Leicester like when we had Rudoni? Is there any noticeable difference?

We scored in the 86th min lol

First 10 games we were performing like a title winning side. Last 5 have been more like playoff contenders.

League is more competitive this year than it has been for the last 4/5 so the points totals required are likely to be a bit lower, but the level of those first 10 games is what we should be aiming for.

We drew 4 of the first 6 games

Winning comfortably? It was a pretty even game decided by worldie finish from a half chance.

We basically had one chance each but we dominated the game in between.

Losing Torp has been a real problem for us which has probably gone slightly under appreciated.

He gives us a completely different outlet in attack which you're not going to get from the likes of Allen or Eccles. Equally he just fits better playing with Grimes than Allen, who is vulnerable to being bypassed in a midfield two.

Have we been top since we first got there? We haven’t been knocked off after a full week have we? Or have we?

JDS played the whole match for wales, and probably will again. Wright didn't play first game for USA.
