The last three times I started the match day thread we lost all three (Walsall, Wimbledon, Port Vale), and we drew the last three before that. Six without a win, I was desperate not to start the thread today  :blush: :scarf:

Now we have two. COYR  :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:

We have had the foul count totting up with niggly fouls. Those will eventually come to a red. All it takes is for a mis timed clifton foul now

Not a pitch to try to play out from the back. Clifton with good shot on goal.just conceded to them with well taken goal player left with open space to shoot.

Prevented goals is usually a slightly better judge TBF, expected goals against - goals conceded. He's third bottom with that and apparently should have conceded 5.8 goals less prior to today.

Look back at their goal, Olowu comes across the the lad that crosses it, the goal scorer meanwhile overtakes Broadbent into space, Broadbent never broke from his gentle jog back, he should have covered where Olowu had run from

Look back at their goal, Olowu comes across the the lad that crosses it, the goal scorer meanwhile overtakes Broadbent into space, Broadbent never broke from his gentle jog back, he should have covered where Olowu had run from

That gentle jog is actually broadbents sprint.
I actually dont mind george but he is one of the slowest midfielders i have seen to the point that i think Tomlin was more mobile than him in his spell here
