Agree with all that except the Reading bit, their data showed their run was never sustainable.

Jeeeezus, that's utterly ridiculous

No, for exactly the reason you suspect, as the second & third shots come about as an outcome of the first. In this scenario you instead calculate the chance that a goal wouldn't be scored. Let's say as an example (I'm making these xG numbers up) the first shot (Ikpeazu?) has an xG of 0.15...

That's right, but why's that contradictory? If you look at the Expected Goals Against (xGA), Derby & Barnsley would have been expected to concede more than they actually have (less so Hull now, that's swung a little since the data was gathered for this). It is a little crude & there are...

Not affected National League to my knowledge (yet) but the leagues below it definitely has (Isthmian etc.)

Whilst it's pleasing to see Moore saving plenty it's just about the most pointless stat there is, takes no consideration of the amount of shots or their difficulty. For example, to achieve 81.5% he could have just saved 5 out of 6 shots that trickled at 2mph from 30 yards out. (He's actually...

This is great too

Agreed 👍🏻

You'd be hard pressed to say that anyone had an outstanding game tbh. I thought Rowe coped well considering he's a RB/RWB playing at LCB. Tavares always looks to play on the shoulder & is a threat if you can get that ball to him. Took his goal well after initially looking like he'd blown the...

Shipley has had a stinker

Probably should have hit it first time & looked like the chance had gone but finished emphatically off the underside of the bar after a cutback.

1-1 Tavares

Nee for Howley

Definitely the first one

Couple of flashes but still looks way, way off first team level. The odd bit of skill & a clever pass but wants 10 touches when 2 will do & completely bottled a challenge which was easily 80/20 in his favour. His movement off the ball was poor, never really influenced the game like you would...

Evans-Harriott on for Enobakhare

Rus on for Burroughs, 4-2-3-1

Ngandu's red boots help 😁

All very neat & tidy but no real threat after a promising start with Tavares getting in behind. The out ball to Dabo is on all the time, as often though his crossing is atrocious but there's precious little in the middle for that type of delivery anyway. Someone like Bright or Shipley should...
