Looking ropey at these set pieces

Officials all over the shop. Clear foul by Hamer missed & ball clearly rolls out before Maatsen clears. They have no idea.

You can't give a penalty for a foul outside the box mate

How the fuck is that not yellow for Rea on O'Hare!? Shocking challenge.

His overall positioning is ok but he's always had a tendency since his youth days of over committing & always expecting to win the first ball. It's improved a little but he still has moments like that. Awful refereeing decision though.

Shocker. Stupid defending by JCS but that's way outside the box

Don't be silly, he once sat next to a black guy at school so can't be labelled as that.

As much of a loose cannon as he can be, he's clearly more suited to that role defensively than Jones. He actually had a pretty decent game at CB for the U23s on Monday too.

Happy with that. Both Kane & Maatsen struggle to last full 90mins, makes sense to have the cover.

Not for me, left feeling deflated

Good to hear. Not had chance to play much yet but keep hearing good things about the pace of the game being better etc. Got to say it looks impressive on PS5 too (if you excuse the shitty phone camera shots):

They are a much better side than their recent results suggest & I think it'll be a very tough game.

Absolutely, 8,500 is a ridiculously round number otherwise.

You even had a Sky Blues Trust board member give up on CCFC & is now a Wasps season ticket holder... Couldn't make it up.

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.)
