1 goal conceded in our last 7 home games. What an impressive stat that is, especially after conceding 12 in our first 5. Only been turned over by Bournemouth and Blackburn. 20 points from 36, 1.67 PPG. Will be what keeps us up in the end and encouraging given the teams around us that still have...

Yes, when a team scores first they are more likely to win. In L1 last season scoring first in a game resulted, on average, in winning 69% of those games. There's also an expected discrepancy between % of games won when scoring first at home and away, although not as wide as you might think...

There's been some debate this week around goal difference, shooting stats, whether the formation should change or is it the players within it. I'd like to share some stats on when we score and how it influences the season. It seems to me that when you score, especially against teams in the...

After some discussion on the Goal margins/Goalscoring thread regarding the apparent lack of 'taking a yellow for the team', fouls in general and also with Robins saying he wants to add more experience/increase the squad age, I thought I'd pull up some of the fouls stats for the season. Having...

There's been a lot of debate in the last 24 hours on missed chances/goalkeeping errors so I thought I'd pull some of the stats out and share some of the more interesting ones (interesting to me at least :p). 1. We rarely win comfortably and don't often get battered: 14 of our 18 wins have been...

With three quarters of the season now behind us but a potentially key 11 games left, what are your thoughts on player of the season so far?* My top 5: Willis - has to be right up there purely for consistency of performance across the whole season. Kelly - although he missed most of the first...

Burge - 7 - None of the top class saves of recent weeks but was great under the conditions, particularly first half, claiming plenty of high balls and solid kicking throughout. Sterling - 8 - Looked the part today defensively and going forwards. His assist shows there's still more to come from...

The Jekyll and Hyde performances in each half that we saw so often last year look to be a deliberate choice from Robins. Saturday was a return to last year's 4-4-2 with Chaplin getting his first start as McNulty's replacement and there was some striking similarities with much of last season's...

Don't know why so many people are having trouble spelling his name so I thought I'd make a thread to share my method of remembering how to spell it correctly, in the hope it helps a few others. He's ALL ASS (ani).

The other Sky Blue in Brno shared this today so thought I'd post it on here too. Wistful visit to the site of HR. Searching for the lost soul of Coventry City... - Football365

This made me chuckle! Ranking Every Premier League Manager By How Likely They Are to Eat a Worm

Alan Dugdales Moustache's comment on another thread got me thinking about attendances: Here's our results chart for the season. I've added 'league position' + day the game occured on +Attendance + Previous result + Attendance change from previous home game. For the colour coding: Day: Saturday...

Barnet was the 4th game this season we've failed to score against very deep lying opposition (Newport, Yeovil, Chesterfield). The subs were late and they were direct replacements rather than formation changing. Our shape and system has been pretty much the same all season too so far with the...

I mentioned in my player ratings that I'd marked Willis down against Swindon for his ball watching for the first goal so wanted to expand on it a bit as it also cost us the 1st Cambridge goal too. Rather than just a criticism, I hope it's an area for improvement being worked on in training - if...

Entirely hypothetical question: Rank this list of 10 potential investors in the order that you'd be happy to see them involved in a Hoffman takeover (10 being the least happy) Joe Elliott Geoffrey Robinson Ray Ranson Norman Smurthwaite Nicky Summerbee Tim Fisher Bryan Richardson Gordon Strachan...

We're going to be linked to many players over the next few weeks, most of who we've never heard of. There'll also be a few names who always seem to inexplicably get a mention from fans even though they've been shite for years. So what are the names that seem to come up every close season that...

The recent links to Carlton Cole, Yakubu, Keiran Richardson, last year Joe Cole, Ramage etc got me thinking - we do seem to have loved signing has-beens over the years or players where the reality has been a long way from their reputation. Can you pick your worst has-beens XI?

Well, to suit the mood after that particularly depressing weekend, here is today's shirts - which players do you associate them with? 1) 2000- 2001 home 2) 2001-2002 home
