We scored two which is good but we do need the front three to chip in. Stockley we know will but the two wide players have to this season. Glad for Miles that he did so. CBT is such an important player for us and he is unplayable until the business end of the move when we get a poor shot or cross. Definitely something for Garner to work on. It may be CBT is better when he doesn't have options because when they do, some players can end up neither doing one thing or the other. Maybe the solution is he should decide what he is going to do when he gets the ball. That can be an issue as another opportunity could open up, but maybe it would help him.
Stats should start using XG without Penalties because being a 'penalty taker' skews stats majorly over the course of a season.
If Stockley, for example, finishes with 14 goals this season with 10 being penalties. He's effectively scored 4 goals in open play.
Stats as a whole are whatever anyone wants to make of them - Its why Goals and Assists are simply broken down into clear cut figures. Football is a simple sport, but idiots once again desperate to make things complicated when there is no need
All because statisticians want to appear kwever - Thats all xG ever is... and all the little sheepies lap it up

I thought we were mates. :-(
Sorry mate... I have an strong hatred for xG - Some statistician must have hurt me in a past life

As things stand, only five sides have scored more goals than us and they are all in the top six. 16 of those 62 goals have come in the last six matches.

I'll start us off - Carl's first goal was on 4 May 1987 and his second was on 25 February 1989.
Stockley getting more involved though is good to see in this formation.
