New Manager

I suspect their new stadium, strong financial position and well run club help a bit too.

 

Interesting that as soon as Dawson takes Acun's favourite pal out of the Starting XI we pick up results.

 

spurs have probably won as many trophies in the last 40 years as wigan and portsmouth

 

Which is why I commented on the business side - the side Levy rightly focusses on.

 

it is a tad surprising that after the success of spurs documentary with amazon and sunderlands with netflix and various other clubs
with our owners main finanical business, that we don't have our own

 

He hasn't dropped Pelkas has he? To be fair dropping the top scorer for a fans scapegoat also had something to do with the uptick in results, though how Daws can drop anyone when it's Acun whos picking the team is beyond me.

Notable though that Levy has been accused of being dictatorial and holding the club back by not signing the top, top players his managers and fans have wanted in the past to get them to the position they are currently in.

 

Yeah I would expect us to do one if we go up. It'd be nice if he did one on the last 20 years, there's a rich history to mine for content.

 

think oscar needs agoal and soon
it's something like 1 goal in his last 8 starts and 1 in 10 apps

 

They have won more. But not a lot.
Fans still sell out the stadium though.

 

No good having a large new stadium if you can’t fill it. Which they do despite the lack of success.
We were a well run club with owners who treated it as a business. Didn’t bring in the crowds though.

 

Including the one that is responsible for big vern?

 

Especially with Longman scoring two in two. Good movement for his goal against Rotherham.

 

Just read a bbc article about Bamford who apparently has missed 9 good chances this season, but his xG is 4. Can someone explain that?

 

Probably being filmed now......cameras follow him everywhere

 

Lies, damn lies and data?

 

in my opinion, longman doesn't even need to score, he's like shane long
his constant movement helps the team in so many other ways

he's all over the the oppositions half

longmans touch map vs estupinians in their last starts

 

Longman has been better in his role for chance creation than Oscar. I don't doubt Oscars finishing credentials but Longman contribution has justified his selection in the last games.

Like Tufan, it's a squad game and both have already and will continue to contribute.

Oscar already has more goals than Magennis or Eaves last year and Ozan is already only 2 away from Honeymans total last year in 25% of the games.

 

very true, what's crazy is, there's still 30 league games to go
the football league is one long season

 

Others here will probably be able to clarify more so but I think there is actual measurements around what xG is counted as a ‘good chance’ etc.

For example, those 9 chances might fall in the xG range of 0.4 to 0.6 to make up that 4xG.

 

Petrie dish experiment gone badly wrong.
