I thought that then seen our team… 😂

I understood the point perfectly. What I’m pointing out is that the quality of the data is poor and not v useful. I’m sure most teams around us would have similar drop offs if we did the same exercise to each of the 23 other teams. So the table would be mostly unchanged.

Checks out to me, their keeper made 2-3 top draw saves and Haji Wright’s winner alone would be at least 0.4 to 0.6 xG - about the same as a penalty. Our performances, whilst they haven’t been where they need to be, haven’t been as bad as some have made out. In my view, we’ll be rewarded with...

That’s 10th compared to all the other teams without the same adjustments i.e. removing their 2 best xG halves. By the sounds of it, that adjustment means we’re comparing Cov’s 4 games versus everyone else’s 5 games. The data manipulation means the 2 best indicators of performance have been...

What would the numbers look like if we stripped out the Stoke first half or Bristol second half? This is rhetorical because there’s no good manipulating the data to wipe out by far our two strongest half performances. To be 10th despite wiping that out shows that the performances aren’t as bad...

Agreed on corporate-speak but it’s still better than ‘Tynan Scope sacked as COO’… We all know it’s a euphemism in the same way a minister resigns ‘due to family reasons’. It’s to save a shred of dignity for the sacked person. Agreed on @Grendel’s ‘we’ll take that one away’ too! 😂

Cowardly? Why does the club need to humiliate an employee by posting ‘Tynan Scope has been sacked’.

£37 for fixture against a top 6 Prem side is not unreasonable at all… Most of the people in attendance will be STHs in any case.

We don't know how much traffic there is in the ticket exchange for regular league matches. I would be interested to see some numbers on this. My experience in the FZ last season was that there we lots of empty seats dotted around the area. On midweeks, there would be a lot of early exits around...

Why would you or anyone? He's just an owner and they come and go like players - I understand there was a lot of bad blood toward SISU but that didn't make King a good owner by default. Personally, I think he's made a lot of commercial decision that make sense, but not popular. As a club, we've...

Neither have I and that's not a reflection on the job he's done. By and large, he's moving the club in the direction it needs to go if we want to be a Prem team. Unfortunately, the Prem and even now the Championship is treats football fans as consumers - £35 to follow City away the last two...

It's funny how people with no commercial, operational or business backgrounds have the loudest opinions on how to sell tickets. It is always about selling them as cheaply as possible - never how much revenue the club can generate. Our old landlords gave away tickets by the thousands and it...

Every goal is a collective failure and this need for one scapegoat is odd. Defensively, the modern game demands more teams to defend higher up the pitch. We got caught on the counter and 2 midfielders didn’t track the goal scorer and he eventually scored at the back post. Not much is being said...

Yes - I was there and this is what I saw. 3-4-2-1 before Haji Wright came on.

Sky and Google has it listed as 5-3-2. Formations are fluid so you can have both a defensive and attacking shapes. In any case, the shape was nothing like the 4-2-3-1 we’ve played this season. Rudoni and EMC were playing either side of Simms - both trying to hit gaps between Watford’s 3 CBs and...

It definitely was and anyone should be able to see the difference in shape after Wright came on for Lati. It was certainly fluid as Lati and MVE worked to overload that side of the pitch.

I was surprised we started with 3-4-2-1 but as soon as we went back to 4-2-3-1, we’ve looked far too open!

I don’t think letting Palmer go was a poor move at all. We got a fee for a squad player on an expiring contract and on expensive wages. It’s inconvenient for 4-5 months, but we should have greater flexibility in January with the freed up funds. Looking at his statistical output for his whole...

Robins always manages expectations, always has done and always will do. Personally, I think this is a good thing. He’ll know the squad isn’t quite good enough to challenge the Top 4, yet.

Sold out the away end that day. The League Cup isn’t a big draw because it’s midweek and let’s be honest, a Mickey Mouse cup until you get to the quarter/semi final.
