things that stood out for me:-

 

 

"Ariel battle won" - WTF has a washing powder got to do with it.

 

and,

 

where are the statistics for aerial battles won? lol

 

Just noticed, I can't even copy words correctly today  :( probably doing my boss a favour by sitting on this all day, rather than working.

So to sum up.

 

Attacking - we need to convert more of our chances and stop being offside/time runs better.

Defending - our tackles and interceptions have to improve. 

 

Through watching the home games I would say they were our weaknesses, apart from I had no idea how bad we were in comparison to other teams at being called offside. 

 

(I suspect Hughes gets about 90% of our interceptions).

We'll never improve our tackling, Nige values the clubs booking record too much.

I quite like stats like these. More than 'assists'.

I also like it when you see the average position of a player on the pitch.

Can serve as a wake up call. The team stats point to a team challenging for then play offs but obviously putting a foot in is a problem. We're weak.

Shows we either need to keep the ball even better or we have to do more to get the ball back.

Pretty impressed.

Any chance of a comparison to our opening games last year?

 

I did have a think about this, but it's almost impossible to know without going through the games and marking performances down...etc (no stats on it) from what I remember (which is known to be dodgy)

12/13 - Sheffield Wednesday - fantastic start to the match, probably some of our best football all season, allowed a 2-0 goal lead slip as we buckled under the pressure.

13/14 - Blackburn Rovers - a slightly underwhelming start by all accounts with us being off the pace from the first minute, Rochina found a gap and was able to cause a lot of damage, got injured - we had 20/30 minutes of being the better side.

 

12/13 - Bolton - largely disappointing game, never looked in it - I did watch it via rams player mind, but we was domineered.

13/14 - Brighton - enforced our game plan, and made them change theres - good display.

 

12/13 - Wolves - we played great football, did really well - but in the end lucky to get a last minute goal and a point, should have had all 3 with 3/4 goal plus but soft underbelly really told.

13/14 - Yeovil - we played good football, and took our chances.. that was the difference.

 

12/13 - Watford - played to Watfords weaknesses and ended up with a comprehensive win, looked very positive and took our chances.

13/14 - Leicester/Burnley - looked off the pace, haven't took our chance - came unstuck against opposition game plans. 

 

So on the whole, we're better off IMO but only very slightly. 

 

5 games in at this point comparable to last seasons first 5 - we're 2 points better off, which tells IMO.

It looks like its been very similar but imo, barring Yeovil, a much tougher start

I've posted this somewhere else as well, but if you take the corresponding fixtures from last season (with Huddersfield instead of Yeovil) we'd only be on 4 points...
