The Doctor

They're from FBRef which hasn't updated for today's games yet so technically it's 11 passes misplaced between 5-30 yards. 11 in 18 is still not far of one every other game which is not numerous times most games Edit: Forgot he was out for Huddersfield, 11 times in 18 games

For all the negativity the last week on here, we're on 46 points from 19. Reading were 44 points at the same point in 2005/06 and only went top on matchday 19. They started to pull away over the Christmas period.

We laboured against cov on the opening day with 4 new signings starting, one player making his first senior start for us and another who'd not played for us in a league game for nearly a year under a new manager, very different circumstances

The point is we weren't set up explicitly to play on the counter as a tactic which is what people who decry us as being tedious and negative want, it was a natural result of the stretched state of play

There were 3 in the match thread when the equaliser went in, 2 saying he needs to go and one actively celebrating the goal and wanting it to happen more frequently to get him out

No-ones embarrassed by scoring a goal, but you've got to recognise that the situation for the winner is not one we want to make a habit of being in. West Brom went forward and committed so heavily to the overload that we were 2v1 against the keeper 10 yards into their half, but defending against a huge overload is gonna result in you conceding far more than getting the counter goal. The point of this system is to draw teams onto you a bit to create space to play through, and we need to be quicker in transition but that's better implementation of the primary tactic, to have the runs by the 8s and to have the false 9 to link better than Kelechis 23 touches today, not compromising the style

Yes, it wasn't great but that was one match. I could easily turn round and say did you watch us against Stoke?

His pass completion for short passes (5-15 yard length) is 99.7% (285 of 286) and medium (15-30 yard length) is 98.2% (387 of 394). How are they poor? He's pretty damn press resistant and gives us a great base to work from

First of 3 games in two weeks at home to bottom 6 sides, with a bottom half side away sandwiched in between. Real chance to put this recent wobble and nerves to bed with some demolitions

Southampton 2-0. Is there a collective agreement to not bother defending this week?

Wednesday beating Blackburn, maybe the point there wasn't that bad

And one absolute whopper cheering the equaliser

Did you not see the match thread after the equaliser?

The weirdos calling for Enzo to go must be in tears. Like there are concerns with game management today and Wednesday, we looked comfortable until Casadei came on and the winks goal did save that little threat of a bottle job, but the guy has managed less than a whole championship season in his entire career, it'll take time for him to learn the adjustments and some were right to create the first goal.

**** off back to Chelsea you useless shitebag

This is a pretty stupid post. It's 5 games with a wobble

Enzo why is Nacho still on the bloody pitch?

Pathetic defending

Oh ffs

Slightly worried by having the Sundance kid and Nacho on tbh

Probably yes, there's a lot of coaches that will do that as a coaching drill. Small game, score it's 1-0, score again it's 0-0 with the goal being to train keeping the ball

What pub are you going to that has Nachos as a bar snack?

What do you reckon they are, seems like a scampi fries man

10 minutes for cannon to have a run or Vardys legs to just stretch them as they come out at us

Just like he was in a city shirt then
