I notice you have Gallagher down for a shot on target. I believe that should be in the next box down against Lockyer’s name?
Interesting that we have let zero goals in first 30 mins, and only 1 in last 30 mins.
I love the Points above Millwall section.
Weve got Baby Beckham
Woh ooh oh

Woh ooh oh

edit: just realised you have us down for six goals conceded, while we have conceded eight.
There’s a goal missing against Wigan scored after 22 mins and a goal missing against Forest scored after 78 minutes.
Interesting to see, in view of how much he is missed due to his injury, that Lyle has not been MoM even once this season. although his average mark is second in the squad. Do we take him for granted?
Reading the players marks thread I couldn't argue with much of it, and the players are marked in roughly the order I would have given. BUT how can a starting midfield 4, then a 3 when we changed formation all get over 7.5, 1 nearly 8 and 1 nearly 9 and still have less than 30% possession?
You can't argue the commitment etc but we played Leeds, not Liverpool (who are actually the champions of Europe). Is there, in hindsight to much respect for the opposition in the marks?
If you read the marks, just the marks, you would either think we walked it and it could have been 5 or 6 (the 1st hour against forest) or we just beat peps barca and the lads had to have the game of their lives.
I am torn between thinking the marks are well deserved for the effort, commitment and game managment or thinking they are insulting to the level of ability of our players and they could of actually played better. Be intresting to hear other people's take on it.
An example, Gallagher got nearly a 9, nearly perfect, but he didn't do much in the final third. Is that the near perfect performance?
168 little hours...
At Wigan, after a very poor 1st half, we wake up 2nd half and easily could have had 3 goals with a bad miss by Lockyer, last ditch save by Marshall, and a blatant shirt pull but no pen on Sarr. So the outcome is everyone gets a low score with Lockyer MOM with 6.41. Trust me Aneke was our best player but only did a cameo of 20+ minutes
Against Leeds we hardly have the ball but same as Brentford, the commitment is 100% by everyone and Leeds picked that day to be profligate with their finishing.
Aneke is the lowest ranked player with 7.08
A win gets the Endorphins working overtime and the scores go up.
A defeat and the black cloud descends and the players lose points even if it's bad luck or the opposite keeper has a blinder.
What a difference 7 days make,
168 little hours.

I sometimes don't mark because I know that this affects my judgement.
I normally start on a par 6 and rarely go below 5. My extra marks are normally awarded for match changing moments especially if they are not part of their normal duties.
Two examples Saturday would be Leko's defensive clearance and Lockyer's assist for the goal.
