Shouldve been a FK on NML there for excessive force...

Oxford falling over all over the pitch

gtfiiiiiiiiii

GTFIIIIIIIIIIII

We've gone to a back 3

Sibley and Bradley on...back 3

JJ booked ...but not a booking

They're bring another defender on...attacker off. All Derby....

our next goal is coming....

Their keeper is very rattled...need to shoot on sight....

oh christ! Wilson...

Oxford look panicky at the back - Rams need to strike soon...

11th corner

gtfi

Derby's 10th corner

We just need to keep playing our game. Their keeper looks a flapper and we are more than capable if we keep our heads and play our game.

I don't need to. I know what the rules say and I'm an experienced ref.

Look it up.

Ref seems keen to give soft decisions to Oxford tonight.

That's just daft of you to deduce that from what I've said.

The ball was almost out for a goal kick when the contact was made; there was no way the forward would've got the ball. Therefore no penalty.

So many refs clearly have never played football.

Very soft.

Might be a typo - I did check the data but I’ll re-check thanks @YorkshireRam. It’ll not change anything really.

Player Ratings after 22 Games Thanks once more for providing your player ratings after each game. Table 1 and Fig 1 give a summary of how things stand after the most recent game away versus Wigan. Curtis Nelson heads the pack with an average rating of 6.99, closely followed by Cashin on 6.78. The Top 5 comprises 4 defenders so we can see what this season has been based on hitherto. Wildsmith has done very well to gain an above-average rating of 6.32 (6.0 is "average") given that of late he has had very little to do so limited opportunity to score above a 6.0. I'm currently working on some charts to show relative movement across the season; for example Wilson has shown considerable improvement of late, as too Hourihane and Collins. The data generally shows few surprises - I think the data has good "face validity" in that this picture will fit in with most fans' "intuitive" view of whom our best performers are. I'm a tad surprised that NML isn't higher but I often think that some players who set a high personal standard sometimes get marked down when they don't quite reproduce that. Going forward, I will try and keep a more up-to-date analysis, but please bear in mind that over the last couple of days, I have spent nearly 9 hours mostly punching the data - it's quite time-consuming. I've also still go to do some analysis that some posters have asked about specifically. That will come if it shows anything of note.
