Transfer Rumours Summer '23 Transfer Thread

All stats i've seen over the last few days from these sorts of accounts have us as one of the best teams in the league. Suppose playing Sheff W and against 10 men has helped but still encouraging signs

 

Not quite. One of the best in possession but in the main metrics of performance we are pretty average so far.

 

Yeh I mean speed is useful but regardless you would like to see players press with the feeling that they want to win the ball or force some sort of reaction and usually I think we are Okay, just that particular game we where a bit flat in that respect. None the less performances have been pretty encouraging since Doncaster and with the addition of some speed hopefully we can only improve.

 

Those stats show where teams win the ball back. It show we win the ball back in the opposition third higher up the pitch than pretty much anyone else.

If that's not an intense press then what is?

 

I agree - although we pressed higher up against 10 men at Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday sat in quite deep and gave the ball away cheaply. Those 2 games will have impacted the stats a fair bit.

 

I see your point, but the criticism I'm referring to relates to the 3 games we've played which those heat maps disprove so far.

Obviously it may change as the season progresses but that's real world data in relation to the games we've been criticised for having a ****e press in nonetheless.

 

or you could just look at the league table - we're seventh and that's all that matters

 

This

 

It’s not just how far you get but how you get there.

 

I'm sure I read we took a bus to Blackburn, not sure about the others.

 

when we got to the FA Cup Final, I don't remember anyone wanting to know how we got there

 

By an easy route against easy teams, according to some oafs.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

Wonder if they've used Chef Kareems steak day in the sales pitch for all these new players. I imagine there will be a song about steak for the boys anytime were winning now haha.

 

Bloody hell Rover. The suspense of waiting for the tweet to load and it's just Bobbi retweeting something from Humberside

 

No more signings yet? Socks still firmly glued?

 

Sorry mate, I didn't know where best to put it.

 

Thought he was doing well at Fleetwood, surprised to see him released and drop down a few levels.

 

That’s a big step down for him. Wondered if he would tip up at Donny.
