Bloody hell. I’m shit with stat-based stuff, but that is somewhat atrocious.

Were his stats similarly bad for West Brom, do you know?

Yeah he had the one good game but after that just frustrating.
At least Bassette has tested the keeper a few times.

Is that a per 90 stats showing or is it heavily skewed via the fact Wright has played lots more minutes?
A full year so Thomas Asante would include WBA as well?

I like the chart, but any reason for including things like clearances, but not shots/shots on target?

Not on international duty

You’d assume no because he scored 13 goals last year. Our shot creation hasn’t been good enough this year.
We build a lot of xG by using our possession to accumulate lots of shots. For example, 10 0.05 xG shots would equal 0.5 xG which would equal one ‘massive’ chance.
Back to BTA, he’s not really had the chances to score goals but equally, he seems to be the worst at being in goal scoring positions as Bassette, Simms and Wright have more xG than him by quite a distance.

No, he was better.
Haji is also benefitting here from playing as a winger which boosts his passing/touch stats vs a central striker.
Why is BTA so bad at aerial duels though? That sticks out like a sore thumb to me. He's 5'11, hardly a midget.
I remember at the start of October there were clowns on here claiming we'd do well to breakeven on him after this start.
Please note that isn't just against Cov strikers, that's against all strikers in the league. We have our next £20million player... (provided this injury isn't too bad)

I notice Haji often has aerial duals v fullbacks rather than CBs so that could be why his % is disproportionately higher.
Carlos Corberán, with respect to MR, is a much better coach and that was evident in both games v WBA last season.
This season, we just look tactically all over the place and that’s impacting individual performances as well as the team’s performances. Robins has to bear some responsibility for this too and this season our fans have been too busy blaming the coaching structure, Dr Roberts and AV being sacked. To reiterate, I believe that MR would’ve figured it out eventually but we’d definitely gone backwards from last season.

If Wright could just sort out his shooting accuracy he’d have a long queue of suitors already. Gets into so many good positions.

He's in the top 9% for shots on target and is actually slightly outperforming his expected goals.

I’m referring to the frequency with which he fires shots miles over the bar or wide of goal.

Vik missed sitters for fun.

He often created those sitters for himself.

He did but so does Haji at times.
Looking at the below from purely attacking threat, this seasons Haji is outperforming Viktor in a much worse side (allegedly)

It really wasn't a knock. Ankle folded right over
Probably out for the rest of the season then.

Best not worrying about it until it’s diagnosed. Lest we forget the people giving Sakamoto a 50% chance of death last season.Probably out for the rest of the season then.

I doubt that, but it wasn't a trivial twistProbably out for the rest of the season then.
Good thing is he wasn’t on gas and air.
the video they did of them all pronouncing their names correctly - but basically it’s the American accent and how they generally say certain vowels in names.

Cos players keep on bumping into Wright and knocking him over and Clive's desperate to throw in "there was a bit of haji bargy"?

Because that's how Haji Wright says it, is my guess.
