I blame the yellow away shirt we rarely win in it

I dunno, I dangle out perfectly good bait for Sandy and he doesn't bite. Wot's the world coming to?

Mkeng sounds exciting.

2-0. I haven't seen it but at 1-0 Stevens apparently missed a good chance. If he had made it 1-1...

2-0 down now, I was a bit worried about this one as we put so much effort into the win at Orient we were bound to be a bit flat today

Back to “0” !

Still thirteenth atm

2-0

Well that worked quick😪

0 shots on target 4 subs on in one swoop.

On the other hand, I did stick a note up the chimney for Santa, asking him for a win.

Amen to that, Silk.

Pete - I completely agree with you on this. Our three goals at Orient came from individual brilliance - the crosses from Seddon and the finish from Browne. Seddon has been consistent with this throughout this season as well.

Sandy - Yes, and fewer true words have ever been spoken.

NickD - Stats don't/can't take into account that sudden piece of brilliance that turns a defence inside out, a slip by a defender on a greasy pitch, a GK who fumbles and drops the ball at the oppo's feet, a shot that's going wide but hits someone's backside and goes in, wind that affects the flight of a shot, all manner of unpredictable stuff that we see match after match. Stats are ok in moderation, but to pore over them and talk of them as some sort of guiding light is, as Naz pointed out, complete and utter bollox. Stats log past data, but cannot predict the outcome of any match, no matter how you work them. Liverpool/the media/the so called experts all found that out in 88.

Equally, you miss 0% of the shots you never take.

Well from what I have heard in the first half Wycombe have been the better side so deserve to be leading but the good point we are only 1-0 down and still in it.

Was that a Wayne Gretsky quote, Pete?

Back to 0 shots on target

Stats can be useful but I think we're at the stage now of failing to spot the wood for the trees. As I said here the other day, the Orient win seemed a simple case of one team working harder, winning their battles, and being more purposeful in possession. The data will back that up, but nobody needed the numbers to spot that.

Silk - Here's a stat for you then, just to be polite. You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.

Pete - TF asked me what it was so I was just being polite and answering. You remember polite don't you?

Tell us a joke, Silk, I dare you.

Naz - these are stats created by bookies to set their odds and we are talking about industries worth billions of dollars. You could use tangible figures such as chances created. Stats are just a way to show which players are better and to help eliminate bias. Seddon is our most creative player and that is backed up by stats. And player quality beats all of those you mentioned in the long run.

Silk - expected assists now as well as expected goals. What a load of complete and utter bo11ox. It's going backwards to Nil's Excel spreadsheets. Passion, commitment, teamwork, formations, tactics for me please.
