  2. Because you talk gobbledygook and that's how your post read 🤷‍♂️ Net chances per game against the league's average opponent on neutral ground. By xG, demonstrably the best metric to evaluate past performance in the public domain once you haven't followed a team's games.
  3. We play Wycombe on the back of games against Portsmouth, Blackpool, and Peterboroguh (Pizza Cup Final). You'd expect them to be a bit tired after than run, especially if the Peterborough game goes to extra time. We will then have Leyton Orient, Cambridge and Carlisle, you'd expect all of them to have nothing to play for by then. I think if we're top 2 after the Portsmouth game, we'll win automatic promotion.
  4. I can't beleive "we only just got promoted" was part of their defence 😂
  5. Waghorn was claiming it as his goal in the changing room, which confirms some contact was made. That could be his arm or his torso 😉
  6. 5 wins from our final 7 will guarentee top 2 in my opinion. That would put us on 93 points, and means the teams behind us could only get away with drawing 1 game and winning the rest. 4 wins from our final 7 would be 90 points and would be touch and go. With each side only being able to lose 1 and draw 1.
  7. I think I see a change in pace and direction of the header as it gets close to the goal. Does this mean it'll be credited to Waggy? 😅
  8. Fozzy is the perfect partner to Cashin. He knows Cashin won't win 100% of his duels, and is always ready to cover for the few he loses. Nelson also did it well when we were playing a back 4.
  9. Leave him out on loan. Waghorn will do the job for now, with Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen chipping in. Washington will return to the squad soon. Collins only a couple of weeks off too, hopefully around the time Gayle is back too.
  10. Or, Wildsmith had full sight of the ball from when the corner was taken, and could see it was never going to go in...
  11. 'Net chances per game based on xG' has us above Bolton Net chances per game based on actual goals has us top of the league (also known as goal difference). Of course, total goals for/agaisnt over a season doesn't show how consistent a side is. They could win 5-0 one week, then loss 1-0 the next and have an average of 2.5vs0.5 and have 3 points. Meanwhile, another side could win 2-1 one week and 1-0 the next resulting in 1.5vs0.5 but have 6 points. Your method of judging sides says the first team is better, depsite having half the points.
  12. It's difficult to put a player from League 1 into the international side when others are playing regularly at a higher level. I expect him to break into their national side next season.
