But even then it can never identically replicate circumstances exactly. Does it factor in wind, pitch conditions, the cycle of the moon, the bloke elbowing him in the back that the evaluator missed? There's far too many variables to scientifically say "that chance should be a goal 7% of the time". Now that is a scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it, but its a scientific fact (someone will get this reference).

too complicated, fuck it, just keep scoring goals and win games, simples!!!!

One of the best days for results especially for the top 6 i can forgive Disney for putting 5 past the Horses as well! Only this time though

I'd bite your hand off for a draw.

I only have one hand so no

It's as good a Saturday as we could possibly have wished for!

It means that someone has coded an algorithm that measures the % chance of each chance being a goal. What the tech lovers who claim it is objective and scientific don't appreciate is that even with a computer, your outcomes are going to depend on how you code it! We've all seen plenty of hilariously wrong XG %'s for shots/chances.

Still don't get it, my expected xg for Cov is score as many as possible and then try and score some more...fuckin algorithms my arse

Well done the pretend Welsh mob

What a player Onyeka is. Will be playing for us in Prem if he keeps it up.

Boro failing to strengthen up front while we added him could prove critical for both teams.

 

[Lamps]

He surely can't survive after that, just seen his interview & not sure what game he was watching saying it was even & both goals should have been better defended

I agree they should have defended better. They should also have attacked better. We scored more goals than they had shots on target.

Now let's guess who is at fault for picking the team and tactics.......

You must joking. Middlesbrough were lucky to escape with a point

Didn't see any of the Middlesbrough game, just the result.

 

[Captain Dart]

Now come on Oxford and Wrexscum

Today they delivered for Super Frank and the lads.

They tried but failed. We tried and succeeded.

Swings and roundabouts my friend, swings and roundabouts.

Oxford hit the woodwork twice.

What a result for us, type of solid away performance we’ve needed for months! Then what a set of results!

onwards city.

IMHO they did better against us than Oxford. Oxford were unlucky not to win

Don't get too excited but the big difference is Onyeka.

Our opponents away from home came up with a plan on how to beat us. Just leave a few players on the halfway line. Middlesbrough tried it at our place and attacked. WBA tried it today. He will rarely be MOTM because his role goes unnoticed by many, but he will give us an 8 out of 10 most games and give the plaudits to those who get the goals.

Our most important signing for many years including Grimes.

He was the SkyBet man of the match today

Ultimately we have exchanged Sheaf for him at a net cost of just £1.5 million. Great business.
