We had better than average finishing, and they had worse than average finishing. Indicates that it was a closer game than the score line would suggest. As I'll say yet again, xG is an overview that is more accurately used in the long run, nothing is without flaws but it's a stat that provides more useful context. jono, RadioactiveWaste, vonwright and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another 3-0 was nice. Hope TJJ can stay fit. He and PW looked as if they had good rapport after that late winner last home league match so hope we can keep. Thanks Jack for missing a sitter and Forest U21s out so we avoid that hassle. Just wish kick-off times for these could be later On the positive - think your TV sound is working fine. The silence may be due to the Covid era type atmosphere. I'm getting unreasonably excited - if we have two trips to Wembley in one season, surely we'll win one... jimtastic56 and CBRammette 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've blocked him now anyway along with a couple of others. Some folk just can't bear to see others take pleasure where they can't and he's one of them.

A game in which the finishing broadly matches the data set that the xG model is based on. As stated though, it's better used on a macro scale.

I would agree that it is statistically more accurate with a large sample size, but you can’t use it as a 100% predictor of one game. TJJ would have buried several of the chances we created. If he stays fit he is an exciting prospect. UTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's exactly what I said - you can't use it as a predictor of a single game, plenty of games have weird and wonderful xGs. It's generally a way to view sustainability of a string of results though, and provides context to a performance. It's an interesting and useful statistic. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad there are no U21s in the northern half. Round of 16 is the last one to be regionalised. If we get through that one we could draw any remaining team in the quarters.

Mate, folk aren't really wanting explanations because their minds are already made up and frankly, if folk can't see a use for statistical analysis in sports, then you're wasting your time trying to explain it.

We certainly warmed the hands of that kid in goal for Fleetwood . But I have been to all 4 Papa games . Do I get a free ticket to Wemberly if we get there? If you do, there's probably about 1,000 of us would qualify! jimtastic56, DerbyAleMan, CBRammette and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if its not a predictor for a single game, why quote the figures for a single game rather than some longer average .... though that would be even more pointless.
