Will be 6 weeks since he went off injured on 7/1, when do we think he’ll be in the squad?
I think he'll be back when he's fit again after his injury to be honest mateWill be 6 weeks since he went off injured on 7/1, when do we think he’ll be in the squad?
Loving the positivityI personally don’t expect him to come back in the same kind of form he was in at the time of the injury, but we’re in need of more attacking options in the squad.
yet on another threasd hes saying we dont need an attacker cus BTA is back soon. he's all over the place.Loving the positivity
The point is that we don’t need a player as good as early-season BTA to win the league from this position. At this stage, it doesn’t even matter if he doesn’t come back at peak form.yet on another threasd hes saying we dont need an attacker cus BTA is back soon. he's all over the place.
Good find8 weeks, so mid-Jan return:

I understand your point I truly do but I think sometimes you need to look at the table and realise we haven't missed anyone this season as of yetWe have missed BTA more than we did Rudoni, as has been demonstrated by our loss of dynamism in recent weeks, even after Rudoni's return. Hope he is back for Lestah!
BTA is the player of the season for me, by a country mile.I understand your point I truly do but I think sometimes you need to look at the table and realise we haven't missed anyone this season as of yet
Yep - was going to say exactly this!! "Getting by without him" and "not missing him" are two very different things in my book!BTA is the player of the season for me, by a country mile.
We've got by without him with luck and some very narrow wins, relying on our keeper, and the opposition missing sitters. (Swansea being just 1 example)
Since he's been out the goals have dried up, and we no longer blow teams away like we did against QPR, Brum, and Derby etc.
Where wins were effortless before, they are now hard fought for by everyone.
For the Swansea and Bristol games I give you Southampton and PNE where we really should’ve won. The points return has been fair, not lucky.BTA is the player of the season for me, by a country mile.

Three more starts and Rudi will have played the same minutes roughly and so far has 20% as many goals.
If we are comparing players that don’t play in the same position then Rushworths goals per min stats are worse than both Rudi and BTA.
Awww yeah, Rudi is shit.Three more starts and Rudi will have played the same minutes roughly and so far has 20% as many goals.
They will have both been playing the AM/supporting striker role for much of the season. They may have been playing it in different ways, but it is still the same position.If we are comparing players that don’t play in the same position then Rushworths goals per min stats are worse than both Rudi and BTA.

Have you looked at the underlying data for those games?BTA is the player of the season for me, by a country mile.

Yea I agree re our over performance in relation to xG but we do miss BTA, if not for his goal threat (which I don't think he would have sustained, injury or no injury) but for his work on and off the ball. He also won an astonishing number of headers, he worked nicely as a foil for Wright as he did all the dirty work.Have you looked at the underlying data for those games?
Of all the matches you mentioned, only Derby was a particularly strong game of chance creation.
The QPR game we created the least, all of our low
% shots went in and was one of those crazy games.
It also goes without saying that PNE, Bristol, Southampton and Ipswich are all better quality opposition.

My honest opinion is that Rudoni is struggling to find his way back in a 4-2-3-1.Yea I agree re our over performance in relation to xG but we do miss BTA, if not for his goal threat (which I don't think he would have sustained, injury or no injury) but for his work on and off the ball.

BTA also plays quite a bit on the wing and has started as a Striker.Both play in the 10
Chance conversion rate hasn't been anywhere near as good of late.Have you looked at the underlying data for those games?

Maybe BTA is in 2nd equal spot along with EMC and BT and Rushy
