One clean sheet since we beat Blackburn 2-0. It’s somewhat redundant because we’ve often scored 2-3. When you’re scoring as much as we are, there is a trade off. Bigger picture, in our last 8 games, only 3 have been at home where our record is better and we concede less goals. Also going under...

100% it’s the usual unnecessary and manufactured moral panic. We lost one game and drew one… Both were difficult away games against top half sides. Frankly, we were much better than PNE and mostly better than Ipswich in the first half. A full strength team at home v Ipswich and I’m confident...

That’s actually not true because we’ve conceded more goals than our xG. There have been games where we’ve conceded high xG chances but low xG goals and vice versa in attack. Thats just football. Everything you’ve said just isn’t based on any data metrics, it’s just your subjective opinion. On...

Over 20 games, to cite 2 examples demonstrates my point to be honest. In any case, Ipswich was different, we were chasing the game. The pertinent point about that game is the goal we conceded in the first half was against the run of play and soft. We situationally play a high line when we’re...

That applies to WBA, not so much the other games. Charlton, Sheff U and Norwich were all games where we conceded against the run of play. Watford and Blackburn are games we definitely should’ve conceded first, iirc both of those team big chances came from counter attacks. Overall, put into...

The difference between our defence and the Ipswich and Stoke's defence is 3 goals... Our defence is the 5th best in the league. Overall, it is solid and recent uptick in goals conceded shouldn't cause too much panic. One thing to note is that we've played less home matches than most of the...

I haven't missed a game... What about you? If you based more of your opinions on stats, perhaps you'd be more level headed and wouldn't be so hysterical at times. That's my 2 pence worth for you.

Yes agreed, at Ipswich away, I could’ve cashed out a bet for £55 and lost signal in the process… it didn’t win in the end! 😂 I get the notifications for goals but the FotMob itself won’t load up and will show the games as not even kicked off. That said, O2 is just a v bad network imo. Any...

I’ve struggled with signal/data in every stadium I’ve been to this season. It can be difficult to send WhatsApp messages and even apps like FotMob struggle to load.

Overall, we haven’t looked shaky in defence this season. The majority of the goals we’ve conceded have been from set pieces which suggest that from open play, we’ve got a solid defensive structure.

I probably need to rewatch it, my seats were v low down so my perspective was pretty skewed for the first half.

I looked at a couple of options and thought I’ve got a flight booked to NY now just in case we get to the final. I’d consider the prices for a final ticket just to be there. This will backfire on FIFA, the teams with the biggest followings in Europe and South America will be priced out. The...

Blasphemy!

Good data this is! It’s put things into perspective a little bit. If we can get revenge on Ipswich before the New Year, that’ll put a lot of people at ease.

I’m not. We created the same xG against Boro and scored 4 goals (1.95 xG). It didn’t help that Haji missed 2 big chances in the first half. It’s annoying that he’s missed big xG chances a lot.

Optimistically, the prices will drop because fans won’t pay it. FIFA tried this stunt at the Club World Cup and prices hit a floor. I’ve already scaled back my plans for the World Cup, at the most I’ll do the quarters to the final should we get there. If it’s going to I stayed out in Germany...

This is where performances need to be judged rather than the results. The results are overall, quite negative but the performances in both games were quite good. McKenna said that Ipswich’s performance against Stoke last night was better than their 3-0 win over us because it was smash and grab...

Actually, that’s a v fair point. BTA being out for 6 weeks is a real sucker punch because he covers 2-3 positions. We need to get to Jan and reinforce and I’m confident the club won’t pass up such a golden opportunity in this next transfer window. What’s an extra £1-2m on transfer fees if the...

Agree and we did that for Haji’s disallowed goal. On KKH and Sakamoto, they did lack chemistry. Frankly, my honest opinion is that Sakamoto struggles without MVE. He seems to have even admitted this in a recent interview because he said that he relies on MVE’s overlapping runs when he can’t...

Personally, I’d have taken off Sakamoto because his crossing and was poor and didn’t take anyone on v PNE. That said, you lose more defensively which is a consideration when you’ve got KKH finding his way for form.
