    That's how you do it

    On the subject of backtracking, do the highlights show Sterling doing a very neat little lobbed clip forwards in the second half? Bit better than the Div 1 norm

    Player Ratings - the scores after 12 matches

    Headline conclusions 1. Robins has gradually worked towards a team made up of the most highly rated players on this forum! Against Rochdale and Gillingham had he picked Ogogo rather than Shipley, it would have been exactly the “best eleven” at that point. With the exception of Shipley, the...

    Player Ratings - the scores after 12 matches

    The Wisdom of the Crowds Last season a thought was triggered by the mismatch between how highly Bayliss was rated in comments compared with his less flattering numerical player ratings – the latter measures his actual impact on the game. So this season I have collated all player ratings given on...

    Davies got the highest scores against Wimbledon and Oxford Carabou (if you add up the Player Ratings on this site). Even against Oxford only one contributor did not give him at least the highest equal score. Don't do the U23's as no PR's here.

    In Davies's only two games he has been voted man of the match by those actually at the game. Given Willis or Sterling who would you choose? Willis just has to take one for the team to get rid of Sterling

    Across 17 of you, Chaplin averages 7.6 yet he missed a very clear chance, when that is his job. I see rose tinted spectacles
