    Bolton v Sunderland Match Thread

    Always annoys me when we get their scores posted in the match thread too. Any scores for that matter. I mean if we're reading the match thread, we're on the internet and if we're on the internet we can see for ourselves. Irrational bugbear of mine.

    Are Wasps getting twitchy over their tickets sales? Is that why these accounts are crawling out of the woodwork now?

    Player ratings (early)

    Possession stats are bullshit these days. It's literally just the number of passes we made divided by the total number of passes. So because Wimbledon didn't make many, we were massively on top. There's no chess clock any more, sadly.

    Arrests at matches last season

    Those numbers are lower than I expected overall. I guess the bulk of them come in single matches e.g. local derby matches or in our case the Cov Sunderland match last season.

    That 3 year EFL deadline means absolutely nothing and SISU know it. They will sit tight for the duration and ensure they have some vague evidence at the end of it that shows they are trying to progress the return and then the EFL will extend it to 5 years and the cycle will repeat. People need...

    Bright Enobakahre

    Maybe he's shrunk then and that's the reason he's not getting game time. Should've read his label.

    Home form v last season

    Yes, I actually felt a bit sick when I realised that we could win all our home and draw all away games for the entire season and it still wouldn't have been enough points for autos 2 season ago. Coventry City football stats in League One, form and table position | SoccerSTATS.com

    Home form v last season

    46 for the sake of comparison with the previous seasons. 4 points off and 88pts if you want the 44 game total.

    Does he get paid for being on Talksport? No idea how that kind of media interview works.

    Not to put a downer on it but....

    It's not skewed just by Bolton, Southend have actually conceded more goals than Bolton, albeit played a game more. Played 8, Conceded 24 Conceded 1: Once Conceded 2: Once Conceded 3: 3 times Conceded 4: 3 times

    Not to put a downer on it but....

    It's about winning margins, not total goals scored. 9 of our 15 goals scored were in 3 games where we also conceded 8. We've also played the current bottom 3 and only scored 3, whereas their average goals conceded is 2.95 per game against other clubs, so par would have been around 9 goals...

    Seems appropriate to me, he was out 'walking his dog' tonight.

    Not to put a downer on it but....

    But we should be scoring more and will need to in the future if we want to keep this up, or at least score earlier in the game so we can control it. The gulf in talent/potential between those teams was a division and a half apart tonight - maybe Pigott aside I'm not sure one of their players...

    I think Robins needs to use O'Hare cleverly. Against teams we are under pressure against he can be used in midfield to drag us up the pitch but against teams that sit back he can be a tricky inside forward that can beat a defender parked on the edge of the box.

    The 100 scale is the thinking man's way and deftly avoids the pitiful self-humiliation of awarding players a .5 mark.

    Apart from mine, which are correct.

    I would move O'Hare there for now and bring Westbrooke back in, and then Kelly back in when fit and push Walsh to the right of the 3 in place of Westbrooke. Assume Allen will not be properly match fit before Christmas and then he can take over from Walsh who can decide if he wants to stay for...

    Still concerned we are relying on so many last minute goals. Can't do that for a whole season (can we?!!!). One thing I don't understand with the way we play is why we are so insistent on getting early crosses into the box. We play with one up front, and yes Godden is very good in the air but...
