That's a bad miss. Playing really well though

I'm not a fan of single chance xG (or even single game xG) but in fairness xG of that is around 10%, not scored anywhere near as often as people think.

I think that's about right. All the tools but not quite the know how to use them properly.

It was a nonsense piece though based on farcical values for individual players.

Exactly. His versatility was a big factor in us signing him.

They don't play with wingers either. Just because they're the weakest team in the league doesn't mean someone can walk in any old where, they have to fit in to a system.

No chance. They play a back 4 & Jacobson their LB is by far their most important player; scores goals, assists goals, takes all their set pieces etc.

Which other Championship team could guarantee him regular starts though?

Dacosta

🤣 No he's not.

End of the month.

What?

Why would we sign an injured midfielder?

Utter nonsense but brought a smile which can't be underestimated in these times! 😊

That's why I'm not convinced they were prepared to let him just walk, they'll likely have wanted a fee for him to join a rival so not surprised we weren't keen. A loan to a good League One side seems sensible all round.

Birmingham have a years option though. No guarantees that they won't sack Karanka & a new manager fancies keeping him. Or he does so well at Hull that they have a rethink.

It's literally a nothing story yet so many on Twitter & Facebook have whipped themselves into a frenzy over it 🤦🏼‍♂️ This morning alone I've already seen: "Typical SISU looking to cash in" "Knowing us we'll sell him on the cheap' "He's a Champions League winner one day - easily" & another...

Have you seen the goal? He heads in from virtually on the line.

Interesting. Rules must have been relaxed then. Strange that neither the EFL or FIFA website mention it.

That was only reported by the Daily Mail (and rehashed elsewhere) but no evidence or anything to support it. Definitely says otherwise in the EFL rules:
