...but our goal difference compared to those below (often a better guide to how a season will end) is absolutely insane

...and yet having just gone through the extended highlights Charlton had chances at 1-0 that others would have punished - and certainly Prem clubs will

we are now in the territory of "regulation wins" unheard of

XG really is bollox

..as he hit I thought "Crikey that's brave, hitting it first time, without controlling it first" and then it went in.

All lost in the mists of time but in the 1963-64 promotion season we were absolutely pissing the league at Christmas when iirc we beat Barnsley 3-1 (I was there aged 10). We then went weeks without a win.... I think we even dropped out of the top 2, before a late revival saw is squeak in...

He would have had to be 10' tall to get on some of the crosses Saka put in against WBA.

possession stats?

Incidentally. Drawing away from home against a top club late in the game and both our central defenders in their box! George Curtis would have had a thing or to say about that - old time centre halves got a nose bleed if they ventured over half way

semantics. the basic point is right, i've posted similar elsewhere. It reminded me of playing Leeds in the league and Ipswich in the Cup last year. We were competitive; they got the goals

And City old boys doing well - Robins and Eustace

Thanks

Oh and one other thing. It's going to have to be a bloody good goal to beat Simms' first for goal of the season

I am not quite sure how the formation changed when KKH came on. Can someone explain?

I wonder just how many points we would have dropped without Rushworth, promising tho Dovin is. Is he the 10 point gap? It's the confidence. First two goals involved first time strikes, by simms and grimes. Under Robins I was often frustrated by the unwillingness to do that. These are...

Kitching's fitness level is immense. He had to put in a long shift at the back. But was in the box for his second and then played in JDS to set up the 4th. He may not be the fastest and this level as high as he can go but his stamina is astonishing

What a match from both sides

I'm intrigued about what caliber of player we look to bring in. The assumption is that at least two of a currently very successful team will become back ups rather than first team regulars, which is a tad unusual in the club's history. So it's not a Woolfie type of purchase - strengthen the...

The obvious prospect of the Prem will incentivize a player, once we make our interest known to them, to force the deal through. It looks like Grimes was an instance of that sort of thing. The Burnley lesson is interesting - they were looking like candidates for the play offs, but eventually...

On the Hamer debate I thought he was by far the biggest influence in the second half of the Vik & Gus season. I think he came back from suspension and then played like a man possessed for the remainder. Almost single handedly dragging the team up. The goal against Boro in the play offs typified...
