What is more disingenuous, using a sample of a players entire career at a club or one timeframe that you’ve decided on? It’s arbitrary to airbrush cup goals too but it’s clearly because it’s a lot more convenient for you. It’s either disingenuous or misleading, take your pick. When you take...

We’ll win this game. Yesterday was a boot up the arse to get the management thinking about ways to break down the low block. My team: Wilson MVE Lati Kitching JDS Sheaf Grimes Rudoni Sakamoto Simms Wright If Thomas is fit, he needs to go back in the team for Lati. I’d like to see Paterson get...

Sargent will not be a championship player next season. If we got promoted I’d love to sign him.

… Our ITKs seem to think BTA is most likely being sent to the departure lounge before Simms.

He played a total of 360 minutes, so yes he would top the charts with 3 goals. In the same way that Ponticelli probably had a better MPG than McNulty back in L2. Haji (5,300) and Simms (5,501) have played more or less the same amount of minutes for us so the comparison is proportionate and fair.

You said GPM which I understood the question to be ‘Goals Per Match’ given the context of your post. Did you mean MPG? If so, I’ll answer accordingly. I believe Haji shades Simms on MPG even if you exclude the penalties. I will always default to minutes per goal as the most reliable metric to...

Szmodics scored in 21 games out of 44. Likewise, Gyokeres in 22/23 scored in 18 league games out of 49 league games, which is under 40%. If you took out penalties, Gyokeres only scored an open play goal in 15 games that season. He also scored a large % of his goals against teams in the bottom...

If we want to make all our players look bad, Haji Wright has only scored in 22 league games, out of 69 appearances. 20 games if you exclude penalty goals. Even the top scorers in the league have a strike rate less than 50% this season. Piroe has 19 in 44 (scored in 14 games of those), and Sainz...

In his career before he came to Cov, he consistently had a strike rate of 1 in 3. The use of appearances is heavily misleading because the headline is ‘6 in 40’ this season but you take the minutes he’s actually played, it equates to 25.5 games. In his whole Cov career, he’s played 5,501...

I’d be interested in the extent of his injury to be honest. The system we play now under Lampard is similar to the one under Robins where he was successful. We do sometimes struggle creating chances against the low block and there’s been plenty of occasions this season where we come v passive...

I want all of our players to do well and don’t like when there’s a pile on with certain players.

He’s scored 4 headers this season and you’ve ascribed several points to me that I’ve not said. The streaky goalscorer point is something I said about Haji Wright.

All competitions, they had the exact same goal tally and Wright was a penalty taker. In fact, Haji scored 3 penalties in the league so they both scored 13 goals in all competitions from open play and Haji Wright missed more ‘big chances’. Given that Simms scored 3 goals v Prem opposition, it’s...

His MPG for this season is 350 and that’s without considering last season. I crunched some numbers before our run in Jan/Feb when arguing for Simms to start because I thought he was better than Bassette - at that point, he scored a goal every 195-200 minutes in his entire Cov career (all...

He was last season and did at a critical point in our season when Haji was injured.

Dovin has been pretty faultless imo, with the exception of the Leeds 2nd goal in Feb. The point I’m making is that the defence has been consistently at fault for lots of things over each GK who has played this season. This is the fundamental thing we need to fix next season to be a top 4 and...

Have I misread this? Surely you mean get rid of Collins?

In the judgement of the coaching staff, they’ve clearly favoured Collins over Wilson as did Viveash. Wilson has only been favoured by Robins for a relatively short period of time. Do you think Lampard will look at those goals and think it was just Collins at fault? The answer is plainly, no...

He did it against WBA and luckily got the FK, but had it not been awarded, their striker is through on goal. He defends like a RB who’s playing CB and it worries me.

See, I don’t think the management will see it that way at all. The defending was inexcusable and entirely preventable. Don’t take this as sticking up for Collins because he could’ve done better with all the goals. We have conceded Comedy Central goals all season with 3 different keepers. This...
