Its a measure of the quality of a chance. If the average player would score that chance from that position half the time the xG is 0.5. For example a penalty is 0.76 or something because penalties are scored 76% of the time on average.
Players or teams that score above their xG are scoring...
So you’re saying it’s all O’Hares fault?
(Kidding!)
I think a large amount of the thinking bringing in Lane and Bidwell was to get better delivery into the box and create better chances. As others have said little pace up front means we rarely put someone through down the middle and when we do...
By that logic we shouldn’t play Györkeres as our only remaining goal scorer in case he gets injured.
Squad is there to be used and if we’re going to lose another striker I’d rather do it while the window is still open and we can go begging to Joy.
Always takes new signings a few weeks to get used to our system and expectations. Aside from anything else he was pretty gash for his debut and Shippers is in the form of his life. Also Shipley will need taking off before 70 mins :P
If Bidwell had come in and torn up trees on Saturday then fair...
Need a win to stop the rot at home now.
