Yes id just like to see them maybe invert a bit more often to really have more shots themselves
Yes id just like to see them maybe invert a bit more often to really have more shots themselvesYou're comparing apples with oranges. When BTA plays he is extremely central, virtually as a second striker at time. When Sakamoto plays he plays as a winger, as he is a winger. I do agree he could attack the box more but he is usually attacking the back post when EMC is getting the ball in.
I think people are getting a little bit carried away with the QPR result, and putting 2 and 2 together. We created way more on Saturday than we did against QPR, 4 xG Vs 1.27 xG. The issue is players only hitting the target 4 times despite having 28 shots.
EMC scores that header from Sakamoto's brilliant cross, we win that 3 or 4 nil.
BTA has had a good start to the season though.
to be fair we had 15 shots blocked which never go down as on targetYou're comparing apples with oranges. When BTA plays he is extremely central, virtually as a second striker at time.

He's coming along, he'll beat his man all ends up but his crossing is still very random. I think he often just doesn't look up because he's concentrating so hard on the ball and then he doesn't know where the support is and who's making a run for him so the ball get's wasted. He'd be better just playing for the corner sometimes or cutting inside and shooting himself more regularly.He's a very very good player tbh. Again, another one that seems to have gone up a notch. Think out of all the hyped Peterborough superstars we may have got the best one, top recruitment again.
Yes and it did come as a shock to be honest.What's bout that control from BTA in run up to equaliser eh?
But yeah donkey and all that ...
and 10 goals for Baggies the season before. He's proven.The great value of BTA is that he covers a lot of positions for us. I don’t get the negativity around him. Always ups the tempo and makes things happen wherever he is asked to play.
Ripped them to shreds for 60 mins on saturday. Their full back would have been in the dressing room crying at HT, the problem is we didn't do it enough second half.
Interest stats really. BTA's xA per 90 is 0.07. couldn't fit him on the same page.

pass completion rate is the most basic stat going...A lot of managers believe in stats and believing in their eyes, you need both amalgamated. I remember Viveash saying Hamer, didn’t have the best pass completion rate but his passing was brave. The ones that came off could really unlock a defence. While some players have great stats but only take the safest option.
Bet he was though.I wouldn‘t be in the dressing room crying at HT, 0-1 upGet a grip
Larry was referring specifically to their RB who'd had a torrid first half.I wouldn‘t be in the dressing room crying at HT, 0-1 upGet a grip
EMC has been like a new signing this season tbf!Mason-Clark has created the most chances from open play in the league so far. Not something I’d have thought tbh.
I really rate him, his technical ability is outstanding; defenders genuinely don't know what's coming next when he gets on the ball, and his ability to check back and deliver quality crosses is excellent.EMC is probably fully fit for the first time since we signed him. He kept picking up knocks last season which seemed to hold him back. He's a hell of an asset when firing.
Yeh different player. Fair play, he's obviously worked hard.I think his contribution so far this season has eclipsed what anybody expected and he deserves the respect of the fanbase .. a big player for this squad
When we signed him I thought he'd be a decent alternative option or squad player but that quite quickly changed to "why did we bother". His output this year has been brilliant and i'm happy to be proved wrong.Let’s cut to the chase. The levels we’re seeing from BTA this season is immense. The guy is playing some of the best football of his career.
Also today rewarded with a call up to the Ghana squad.
Looked like the defender kicked it against him I thoughtWill that first goal get taken off him? OG wasn't it?
Nice to have a really crap decision go our way for once.Looked like the defender kicked it against him I thought
Anyway stevie wonder who was the assistant at that end said it was bta goal so I’m giving it him
I think he's benefited from the change in style this season.BTA could turn out to be a player we were all guilty of judging too soon. He’s been asked to play various roles in the team so can’t be easy adapting
Not all mate. It still amazes me how fans can just give up on our own players. Da Silva has received similar and look at his levels at the moment. Let’s hope we can add Simms to the list by the end of the season.BTA could turn out to be a player we were all guilty of judging too soon.

Simms has done all he can.and what is asked..like literally only had 90 mins all season and made big impacts from bench notably vs Norwich and is getting into great positions and scored 2.Not all mate.

So pleased for BTA, he seems such a happy, likeable guy too.
Adebola was the only bigger comeback. Turfed out on loan with most writing him off as a donkey. Came back a beast and a bit of a fan favourite.Has their been many players that have pulled around so many fans opinions of him than BTA
Haha yeah I still remember his miss from a few yards out vs Sheff Utd.Adebola was the only bigger comeback. Turfed out on loan with most writing him off as a donkey. Came back a beast and a bit of a fan favourite.
