Apologies for this being a little late and for any errors but life is a little difficult with The Lass in hospital. I hope you all enjoy remembering the good games, and there were some, and let's hope for more next season.
Cheers LL, hope your other half is home and healthy soon. The stats that stand out for me are 86 shots from JRS and Miles' conversion rate of less than 1:4 goals to shots

I noticed that about the shots, underlines just how much we’ll miss JRS.
The other one that stood out was the games with the highest % possession and the lack of wins from those games. It’s been a problem for us for so long, when teams come to sit behind the ball that we just can’t break through.
Possession of 69% against Morecambe in the 2-3 defeat at the valley. 69% in 1-1 draw v Cambridge. 66% in 0-1 defeat Cheltenham and 65% in 1-1 against FGR.
What you do with the ball and what do you create to get a positive result is paramount.
I had an acquaintance(not a friend as Palace fan !) Who was a manager of my local Corals(now shut and nail bar) who did stats a few years ago on Palace wins and defeats. They didn't win any League matches when they had over 60% possession yet had 8 wins with 35 to 40% possession.
It's what you create and when Ipswich had 60% possession against Cafc in the 6-0 thrashing they also had 26 shots !
Thanks Lancs! Good to see a little recognition for Lucas Ness’s efforts. Let’s hope he comes back successfully from his injury, because he could well be an important player for us next season.

I can't see Albie Morgan's average mark.
He had 35 apps so should be in the 24+ group.
Thanks for your hard work 👏
Here's hoping next season will be a more rewarding one.

It's a funny old game.

A very low score for AMB to win POTY. Not even the highest ranked goalkeeper during the season
And yes he had some poor games, but bizarre that Rak-Sakyi ended up way down the rankings
