    Transfer Rumour Danny rose

    The best defence in this league is a good predictor of a top 3 finish. Having a 20 goal a season striker does not. Portsmouth had the best defence, won the league, Plymouth and Blackpool with the joint 3 defence also got promoted. Whilst Luton, with the 2nd best defence came 4th. Crawley...

    Transfer Rumour Danny rose

    You’d be up for selling Willis?! We’ve got the best defence in the football league, why on earth would you want to break that up?! Even if it was for a good striker.

    Well, considering we’ve beaten all the above us, bar one, and we’ve got the best defence in the (football) league, I think automatic promotion is a realistic target, playoffs the absolute minimum. The evidence has been laid out to you pal. We need tinker tactically against lower league teams as...

    That could be a key point in the season, but there’s always a few important phases in the season. I do think beating Luton 3-0 will be a turning point. Barnsley won the playoffs and were bottom over Xmas the year we bottled it. All it takes is a positive run to build momentum - it’s been a bit...

    Again, kudos for digging up the statistics! As frustrating as it is, I’d rather be dropping points to lower table teams at this point in the season. Firstly, because we there’s time to make tactical adjustments. Secondly, we’re beating potential rivals - this is promising. I looked at...

    We’re in November, usually 1 team in the top 3 last has a ‘20 goal a season striker’. The best strikers in any league score 20-25 goals, without taking into account of braces and hat tricks, that’s still 20+ games they’re not going to score. When you take it into account, they score in what...

    Spot on with the analysis. I think one of the main reasons we have difficulties with the lower league teams is that we don’t score enough early goals. Robins earlier in the season spoke about the need to ‘win the battle first’ - whatever this means - provides an insight to our tactics. But...

    Goalscorer

    I think this has more to do with tactics than with personnel. We’ve hammered the likes of Notts County, Luton and Exeter who have all been top. Yet we’ve struggled against the likes of Barnet, Forest Green, Chesterfield and Newport County. In particular, we tend to struggle when we concede...

    Agreed. But going into Jan in MR’s 1st season, and Mowbray’s first full season, we had an opportunity to be successful season. Both seasons ended in failure, but going into January it looked like we’d do something...

    Clean Sheet Statistic

    I personally think McNulty will do well this year. He’s got a good ratio at this level. Even the best strikers in any league will score 1 in 2 games. So without taking braces or hat tricks into account, half the games you’re left without goals. Therefore, it becomes evident that not having a...

    Clean Sheet Statistic

    This is the most important statistic for us if we're going to be successful this season. As we saw last weekend, the best defence trumped the best attack. The results prior to Luton were obviously frustrating, but, I think for some strikers it only takes a goal before they really crack on, and I...

    We have absolutely done that in some seasons, but, we've not gone and done it when the club has been performing well, with a realistic chance of success.

    McG and Kent were loans and not our players. We don’t control if they leave or not. We tried to sign McG but we were out bid. As for Maddison, whether or not the sale affected his performances is another debate for another time. We still kept hold of him for the rest of that season. In the...

    Context is everything: we’ve never sold players when we’ve been doing well. In L1, we’ve mostly been able to have got important transfer targets in-season, whilst not selling key players, when we’re having a good season.

    If they do well, there may even be a chance we could pick up Nazon on a permanent transfer...

    Player signing Contract Extension - Jordan Willis

    He’ll be staying for the foreseeable future I think. If our asking price was too much in the summer, it’s only going to up with his form and extended contract length. Teams probably aren’t willing to pay more than 500k for a L2 centre back. I can’t see Rod or Willis leaving this season. They are...
