But the injured players you're referring to are mostly out until February/March. What's to stop them picking up more injuries in the meantime too? I get we're all frustrated but the conspiracy theories don't hold much weight.

Yep. Same with the majority of stats stuff we regularly discuss over on the football forum, they are there as tools to help prove/disprove certain things or identify trends etc. You have to be comparing like for like & you can't just strip all context away either. The problem is it's such a...

Excellent piece as usual from Martin Brundle:

Nice "problem" to have for a change.

40% is good

Yes. Completed 40%

Yes, this. Waghorn also scored in stoppage time v Middlesbrough but we were already ahead then.
