Yes, good point - you can see these days that refs clearly know about the corner nonsense, previously it threw some of them off. If we do have a reputation amongst refs it probably introduces a bias, conscious or not, and affects decision making.

I do genuinely wonder if the "Lampard's right, the refs are shite" chant has an impact. For a while it was basically a guarantee that it would get sung before half time, almost regardless of the referee's performance.

I bet Milan’s long throws have a better conversion rate than crosses from open play. People have the memories of goldfish on here. Everyone already forgotten us winning 1-0 via a long throw goal on Boxing Day?

Because we obviously need to ditch the system that has us 8 points clear at the top of the league

Outscoring your xg is obviously good, but does suggest you're unlikely to maintain it if historically you have underperformed.

Because he's much quicker than Bidwell and better on the ball.

He's outscored his xG this year by a significant margin. His championship career average is converting ~89% of his xG into goals, this season it's 127%. Either he's transformed from a below average to an elite finisher over the summer, or it's an unsustainable purple patch. Still a useful...

BTA was in a purple patch that I'm very doubtful he'll be able to replicate

I'm not sure I'd describe it as stonewall, it's a very awkward one because Wright never has possession of the ball.

Agree with the diagnosis but I don't think that's the solution

you've been posting some odd stuff since Ipswich, log off and enjoy new years

It’s literally impossible for Elliot to play for us this season since he’s already appeared for 2 different clubs.

Terrible bait do better

Evan Ferguson and Harvey Elliot :ROFLMAO:

Yes, I would not be spending 9m on him in Jan.

Andrews would poo himself if we start poorly and the away end gets tetchy

We are looking at something like that? Don't see how you'd enforce it without the help of all the other clubs in the league.

Sargent isn't a number 10 and has 1 goal since August, honking shout

Why am I seeing about 3 new formations suggested here? Rushworth MVE/KKH - Thomas - Kitching - Brau/Bidwell Grimes Torp Sakamoto - Rudoni/Eccles - EMC Wright/Simms Honestly all the 50/50s are a coin flip for me. But Charlton are poor, stick to our usual system and play anywhere near we know we...
