Ram a lamb a ding dong

It seems that the vast majority of his signings get off to a sluggish start. Then, after a period of time their performances improve considerably.
Proves that as a coach he is more than capable and is ability to get his message across to the players.
He couldn't get a tune out of Kane, Ward, Sonny at first and then they contributed significantly. Sibs and Tommo got better as the season went on also.
Proves that we have a strong coaching outfit at DCFC
I fully expect CBT to hit the ground running next season as will Elder

Since Saturday I've been looking at some of the statistics from the players this year and some of CBT look quite impressive over the course of the season (including the first half before joining us. While he's shown the occasional glimpse of what he could do, I think it's fair to say he hasn't performed to the levels we (and probably himself) expected. This may well be down to joining while injured and taking time to settle in.
Anyway onto the statistics I was on about. I noticed that he actually did better than NML in a lot of statistics relating to attacking players. One of these being successful dribbles, where CBT averaged 60% of dribbles being successful. NML was marginally behind averaging 47% being successful. His accuracy of passing is what stood out to me 81% ending up with a teammate, which was the best out of all the players to have been involved with us in L1 this season. He was also second in the team with his passing accuracy in the opponents half, with 73% of passes being successful, being behind Nyambe. His crossing was also quite good with a third of crosses being won by teammates. This was only bettered by Barkhuizen, Fornah? and Korey Smith?.
While most of this potentially came from his time with Charlton, it at least gives an indication of what he could potentially do once he's had a full pre-season with us and hopefully settled in. 

Derby 3 Everton 2. Goddard chipped Southall with Bobby Robson watching on.
Why he then didn't get a call up after that wonder-goal, I'll never know

I like Barks as a player and a person. Very honest lad. Earnt himself an extension imo.
Going up we need to retain leaders so Collo and Sonny are a priority. Its not all about the 11 that go out on the pitch.

Social media has made this promotion so much more fun 

Looking forward to it

Probably an unpopular opinion but, I’d retain all of them (on the right terms) as long as the extra 5 plus are still brought in.
Experience will be needed as well as a larger squad. We’ll be doing far more chasing the ball next year!

Just asking on behalf of the kids. 
What time should we be at the ground for to see the players arrive?
Desperate to get some of the players for photos/ signatures

Was just about to share the same thing.

Getting back on thread, can someone with a more retentive brain than me do one of those nice concise lists of who's out, till when?

I was thinking more of the statistic that shows that no-one has scored more goals in the last 15 minutes+ of games and no-one has a larger +ve goal difference in the last 15+ minutes of a game either.
But maybe you've usually left by then....

I have to admit that the defeat today along with news on NML and Fozz has left me lower than a snakes belly.
We are down to the bare bones and confidence will be low going in to the next match.
We are all hoping that Collins will make a miracle return and NML has nothing more than a dead leg. Even then the rest of the team is a patchwork quilt. 
What a difference 2 matches makes as we had a strong front 3 going into the Bolton match.
In terms of anything positive:
CBT must start and must produce. This is his chance and he must take it.
Has to be a 4-3-3
If Collo isn't ready then go with Washington. Waggy is good to bring off the bench but not start.
Midfield 3 of Ebu, Smith and Thompson
Back 4 with Elder and Ward.
Front 3 to incl Wilson.
 
Oh, and plenty of flags and noise...

Uninspiring, deflated and limp with the Mrs rubbing my back and telling me it’s ok as I sob uncontrollably….but enough about my love life, as for the football I haven’t a clue 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

The name of this thread 😂 second in the league with highest goal difference and second highest scorers- if you can’t find some positives in that, then I dread to think what you’re like down the pub 

We’ll see him when it’s time to lift the league 1 trophy. If anyone deserves to get their hands on some sort of silverware for us, it’s fozzy. 

Woken up hoping I dreamt yesterday. Realised quickly I hadnt
