Woolfenden has over a 40% clean sheet ratio when he starts
7 in 11 while Lats is playing. In the games he’s missed in that run we’ve had two clean sheets against Preston and Swansea and conceded two in the other five.
If you are referencing the contributor I think you are , I blocked him a while ago. Opinions are fine.He’s one of the most clueless posters on here. I can’t believe he’s still pushing this Onyeka is crap narrative
We're top of the league by 11 points, I don't see the point in moaning about any of it right now tbh. Everyone should just be enjoying one long party until the end of the season. I'm absolutely buzzing for the Sheffield Wednesday game next week.Facts are that whilst we all moan about our centre backs we cant ignore our style of play which can often see defenders caught high up the pitch ( see derby penalty ) and will have us concede goals but you have to decide wether the trade off in attacking play is worth it .. we generally defend the box quite well
Ironically we could have done with cal as a squad player at times this season .. would have filled in wellOnce it's confirmed, someone needs to send Cal's pump it up video back to him.
This is interesting, because intuitively I agree. But FotMob has recently started doing stats of ‘Goals Conceded whilst on Pitch’ and ‘XG Conceded whilst on Pitch’.

Whilst we don’t concede as many with Lati on the pitch, the XG is in a similar ball park to Kitching and Thomas so I don’t necessarily think it’s structural. I’ve long been a proponent that we need 2 new CBs for next season (well, I said this season but whatever).

Nah then we wouldn't have got the BTA purple patch that served us so well. Its all worked out just the way it needed to.Ironically we could have done with cal as a squad player at times this season .. would have filled in well
Imho , the game is going back to needing a tough hard working midfielder paired with a good ball playing midfielderIts no secret I’ve not rated our CBs for a while. I am a simple man I like defender who can defend and technical midfielders this season has been very confusing for me

Think matic and fabregas
Our recent run has coincided with onyeka being in the team , which joel has missed 3 and a half games of due to being sent off and restedYeah but his run hasn’t coincided with everyone claiming another player has made all the difference defensively.

3.5 games without that CB as he said though.For me the rot stopped against Oxford which was before Onyeka arrivedI’m not even saying it was nothing to do with Onyeka just that it was equally to do with improving our CB.

You don't like either of our starting midfielders in a title winning team? Tbh you are allowed to like what you like but you often exaggerate for effect, at least I think, and then wonder why you get push back. I actually think you enjoy poking the bees nest just a little bitGrimes just doesn’t quite scratch the itch for me personally. I think we’ll replace him in the starting lineup next season and I just hope it’s a good technical player and not another physical player who can’t trap and pass a ball for my own sake. I appreciate that players with both the physical and technical abilities for the PL are likely out of our budget even post promotion.

And in two of those three games we had our wonky loss and conceded two per game. Which is my point.
Why? He will always be part of league 1 promotion team and should be remembered fondly and shown respect.Once it's confirmed, someone needs to send Cal's pump it up video back to him.

The derby penalty was harsh though lets agree on that , shouldnt have been 2 goals
ive loved us having the belief to score more then the other team i no next year itll be hard and wed be port vale if we went lick that but i hop we stay positive whatever the resultsFacts are that whilst we all moan about our centre backs we cant ignore our style of play which can often see defenders caught high up the pitch ( see derby penalty ) and will have us concede goals but you have to decide wether the trade off in attacking play is worth it .. we generally defend the box quite well
Maybe we will be Southampton?ive loved us having the belief to score more then the other team i no next year itll be hard and wed be port vale if we went lick that but i hop we stay positive whatever the results

The rot stopped with a 0-0 draw at home against a team who were firmly rooted in the relegation zone? Interesting.For me the rot stopped against Oxford which was before Onyeka arrivedI’m not even saying it was nothing to do with Onyeka just that it was equally to do with improving our CB.

Can’t come quick enough …. We will all be expecting loads of goals but let’s secure the points first and foremostWe're top of the league by 11 points, I don't see the point in moaning about any of it right now tbh. Everyone should just be enjoying one long party until the end of the season. I'm absolutely buzzing for the Sheffield Wednesday game next week.
