Really don’t get the animosity towards xG. Sometimes it tells the story of the game, sometimes it doesn’t. Same as pretty much all stats in isolation.
Ah no, I think it’s generally pretty useful tbh. Just didn’t particularly understand yesterday’s figure / how it was so little.
I also don’t understand how QPR supposedly had 47% possession but there we are! (I imagine most of it was their CB passing back to their keeper at goal kicks)Ah no, I think it’s generally pretty useful tbh. Just didn’t particularly understand yesterday’s figure / how it was so little. Felt like I knew the ball was going to hit the back of the net before it did for at least 3 of them!
I think “everything we hit went in” is a pretty accurate story of the game tbh.

I don't get the connection??? If I thought to myself, "That was an easy chance", I wouldn't make up a stupid meaningless statistic about it.If you’ve ever said “that was an easy chance” then you too indulge in this crap.
So what makes you rant to a forum at 3am when everyone else is asleep about Ben Sheaf, when no one has even mentioned himNo thanks. Coke in particular is a horrible drug, and I've seen it ruin people's lives.
@Earlsdon_Skyblue1 will mention Ben sheaf at any time of the day to be fairSo what makes you rant to a forum at 3am when everyone else is asleep about Ben Sheaf, when no one has even mentioned him
Is that when we scored after 7 seconds or something?Not many people at the Rushden & Diamonds game at HR then… actually we only had about 10,000 fans in those days.

They thrashed us in L1 as i rememberSurely Oxford have to beat us eventually
Torp has 3 goals already so if he carries on that trajectory, he will be undroppable.
Wycombe didn’t did theySurely Oxford have to beat us eventually
| Player | Goals | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Victor Torp | 3 |
| 2 | Haji Wright | 3 |
| 3 | Jack Rudoni | 2 |
| 4 | Brandon Thomas-Asante | 2 |
| 5 | Ephron Mason-Clarke | 1 |
| 6 | Ellis Simms | 1 |
| 7 | Bobby Thomas | 1 |
Just feels like we always have the edge against themThey thrashed us in L1 as i remember
Yea, just watched the highlights back. Clinical and a shite goalkeeper comboThink BTAs goal was the biggest chance and only one above 0.25 which I think is the cut off for big chance. Cant think of any better.
I think out first 5 on target went in!I think “everything we hit went in” is a pretty accurate story of the game tbh.

Fair play to this young lad. Takes some bollocks to face up to furious supporters.

You said it first. Don't you know?What does “easy” mean?
Means most people would score it? You just did statistics. XG is just a numeric version of “most” or “some” or “my nan an she’s been dead for years”
Yeah I remember that one we won 4-0?Not sure. I can remember Chippo scoring after 12 seconds against Barnsley(?) though
You said it first. Don't you know?
Took my then girlfriend to that. Was that the game Richie Partridge played a blinder? What a player he was.
I give up. You stick to your xg crap. I'll just keep ignoring it.I do if you keep reading. All statistics is is putting definite point on what “easy” “hard” “likely” “unlikely” means. If you’ve used those words then you’ve used statistics just in a more imprecise way.
He was the only one who looked bothered. He looked ready to go at some of his teammates at some points in the game.Fair play to this young lad. Takes some bollocks to face up to furious supporters.
