    Lol "ooooh let's have a dig at a guy with a pic of himself up on a message board" I couldn't care less what you think of my looks mate, I'm happily married anyway so any passes you make at me won't work 😘
    Apologies for that mate. That was shit of me. And you’re certainly doing better than me being married so fair play. I just recall you coming at me before and as I’ve said there’s a way to do it without resorting to name calling. I’ll apologise to you as that was poor from me.
    Look I get it, and maybe I've come across too harsh and judgy, and for that I apologise too, but the amount of new account that come on here and just post contrary stuff for the hell of it, in a bid to troll other people, happens far too often, and especially in the summer holidays. Maybe I put 2 and 2 together and got 5

    Actually I’m quite clearly questioning hm here….
    He’s been pretty spot on. Did say we were close to Osei Tutu and it fell through so it’s not a guarantee it will happen but definitely has a source so if he says something is close it is

    Am I reading that right - only 2.3% of Doc's passes go forward?!

    Can see why our stats based recruitment would be all over Holsgrove looking at those numbers.

    Surely Coventry did not win 74% of his duels last season. According to FotMob he won 47%. Where is the data from @Callumcafc?

    As someone who is fully deep into the occult of stjohnshill, our dear leader does not always get everything right.

    But when he does. Boy does it feel good.

    I don't get how Doc can have such low stats for forward and progressive passing but have the highest "key passes" of all 4

    Based on Wyscout data, yes. They classify forward, backward and lateral passes according to this diagram:

    Wyscout, via DataMB.

    People seem to say DataMB isn't reliable. Some of those stats just don't add up compared to the Opta stats. I'm not sure how the two could be so wildly different.

    Not sure if already said amongst the handbags but Harry Clarke has failed his Stoke medical supposedly

    Doc also got 3 assists last season to Dobson's 2 and Coventry's 1

    To do that whilst only passing forwards 2.3% of the time is quite remarkable, and may I suggest we ask him to do it more often if that's the case?!

    @TheSE7 - I can safely predict for a few years on here there'll be references to Cawley and paywalls - you'll have to brush it off. Yes you overreacted the other night, and you apologised. Everyone got that and accepted it. But anyone who ever posted anything daft or argumentative on here - which is most of us at one time or another - will get the odd reminder coming their way, and we either ignore it, or banter it back. You've made a mark - you've just got to roll with it.

    I'm standing in your corner saying this, btw. Maybe draw a line under the conversation tonight, undo what you need to, however you need to. But stick with it.

    I'm not inviting pelters from others, just suggesting to our new member a way back in.

    If the much awaited signing turns out to be Redmond or Dykes I think I will cry

    Sure looks like him. Seems to be doing 1 on 1 non-contact training so perhaps he's still on trial but picked up an injury, obviously that's not something NJ would divulge either way

    He definitely did pick up an injury, he did it in the last friendly he appeared in. Guess it would only be fair we helped rehab

    Pretty sure it wasn’t stjohnshill who said the foreign player was arriving yesterday it was the other ITK account can’t remember the name and tbf he could have been completely right about Osei-tutu failing the medical since no one else has picked him up yet and he looked like more than a capable L1 fullback

    CB1 last spotted on Dartford bridge because Stjohnshill signing hasn’t been announced
