At right wing. Jack Cork, another to have a successful career at CM in the Premier League also got stuck at right wing. We don’t half make it difficult for ourselves!

Angel Gomes!

Can’t remember the company name but they were promoting ‘Black November’ on TV the other day. Grow up.

In fairness I think it feels intrusive at first, but I’ve got used to it now.

It’s a shame it’ll likely come too late in the day but I wouldn’t be averse to seeing Rico Lewis in centre midfield with Rice. Whilst it isn’t his de-facto position he ends up there more often than not when on the pitch. A left field should would be Angel Gomes. Loved watching him in the U21s...

That Sebastian Nanasi has come up on my radar when passing time.

Seem to recall a few people on here mentioning it over the course of time, any recommendations? Got a white pair of Tommy Hilfiger trainers that are a bit beaten up now and could do with a refresh.

Can see why Doug King took over now. 4D chess material.

I’m still getting a banner advert at the bottom of my screen on most threads.

Nick’s sold out to the Coventry Telegraph.

Diamond, which is essentially what you’re suggesting, could be interesting. Pivots to a back 3 when required. My preference would still be to play 2 AMs and 1 striker, but don’t know if I’ve ever seen a system like that in action. A 41221 without wingers.

Beat his man on a few occasions on Saturday. Agreed that he can’t cross and it’s a waste of his skillset. We need to get the ball in front of Simms in the box.

Don’t think you’re quite understanding the data. If you shot from the halfway line then it would still generate an xG, likely 0.01 i.e you’d score 1 in 100 (I think it just rounds to 2 decimal places as I think you could try that 100,000 times and maybe one comes off). If you’re on the line with...

That was my hunch as well, thinking our xG might be inflated due to the number of long shots we take. Our xG per shot is 0.1, same as Ipswich and marginally behind Leicester (0.11).

But we’ve drawn the most in the league. Conceding just 2 less (0.125 per game) and scoring 2 more (again, 0.125 per game) would see us in 5th.

Can’t be arsed to go back and watch clips, but it strikes me that the best utility of his pace would be to play the ball in behind the defender and give him a raw foot-race. To do this, his starting position needs to be higher. So many instances of players not being as quick with the ball at...

That’s the way I read it as well. Think he was rushed back a bit (whether that was his choice or MR’s choice I don’t know).

It’s an extrapolation of xGOT (expected goals on target). The basis of it is that an ‘average’ keeper would have stopped 2.8 more goals (obviously broken down into numerous fractions). My gut feel is that we’re conceding very few glaring chances, but when we do they are scored.

No, not evened out. Statistically towards the bottom of the pile this season with -2.8 ‘Goals Prevented’.

Obviously the recruitment ‘team’ have copped a lot of flak for the summer dealings, but ultimately I think our biggest investment should be into our recruitment team. We could really do with a multitude of roles/disciplines if we’re being run seriously. Genuinely wouldn’t be averse to throwing...
