    The higher up on the chart a player is means they take more shots, the further right they are means they take shots from good positions. Basically you want your strikers to be in the top right of the graph, which both Mayenda and Isidor are.

    Just seen that Alese will be back for Saturday, those CB options are great, I rate Seelt too and it'll be good when he gets back also

    Ngl though, there is maybe a handful of chances I can remember Mayenda having including his goals, I see Isidor have a shot on goal guaranteed every game and he's scored 4 too, he gets himself in great positions that you want a striker to be in.

    Very promising that we have great options now, but for me, Isidor is who I want leading the line. Mayenda still needs to work on those striker runs and running the front post etc the natural stuff you see strikers do. THAT SAID, I rate Mayenda highly, he is 19 and will learn a lot from Connolly and Isidor. He could become a real handful by the end of this season

    I hope someone creates the energy in midfield that Jobe brings to the team.
    I'm going for 0-2 to the lads.

    I noticed RLB give him a few sideways glances ...

    ... especially when he said, 'Well Browne is the obvious choice to replace Jobe'.

    That's the kind of thing you'd say in the pub or on a forum, not telling a manager his business.

    I bought my wife a Cavashon puppy just over 2 yrs ago. We went to view it in the breeders garden,there were 2 puppies one of each sex. Mrs.MK sat on a garden chair and one puppy made a beeline for her, she picked it up and said " hello Reggie " . 10 mins later the money was transferred and he was in the car and on his way to his new home . It was a sign I tell ya !!

    Looking forward to this one and hopefully a better result than earlier this season. Obviously jobe will be a big miss but we have enough to beat these. A big away following and hopefully some great scenes to send us home happy. Dangerous game but one i think we can cope with. Could do with mundle getting more involved than Saturday and a quicker going forward as a unit. We have enough to win this one. Keep the faith lads and lasses.

    He really is a stupid idiot, and thinks he is so important , "In an interview with me me me " is his catch line.

    Yep. Actual proper Sky Sports Football as well, rather than the Sky Sports + coverage which isn't as good.
