Also. Can I just say, why has Ba been cast aside. If Mayenda is starting games as a winger and we have to play AA there, what's happened to Ba. I didn't even count poveda as he will be injured when it's windy
They were on top for 15 mins in the second half. We were on top for 75 and dominated at times. Poor shot selection up front and game management at the end cost us. We did deserve to win.
This is today. first half: 17’ Jobe 0.03 xG inside the box - blocked 29’ Milan 0.02 xG outside the box - saved 32’ AA 0.03 xG outside - saved 34’ Wilson 0.20 xG inside - saved 39’ AA 0.02 xG inside - saved 40’ Trai 0.03 xG inside - saved 42’ Mayenda 0.08 xG inside - blocked 42’ Mepham 0.19 xG inside - blocked (pen?) 45’ AA 0.05 xG inside - missed total xG - 0.65. 7 shots inside the box second half: 47’ Cirkin 0.07 xG inside - blocked 50’ Cirkin 0.04 xG inside - blocked 66’ AA 0.05 xG inside - blocked 73’ Mayenda 0.36 xG inside - miss 76’ Neil 0.01 xG outside - blocked 78’ Jobe 0.05 xG inside - miss 82’ Roberts 0.04 xG inside - blocked 82’ Aji 0.04 xG inside - miss 83’ AA 0.05 xG inside - saved 89’ Wilson 0.04 xG inside - miss 90’ AA 0.03 xG inside - miss 90’ Trai 0.58 xG inside - miss (offside) 90+5’ Mepham 0.14 xG inside - saved total xG 1.5. 12 shots inside the box Total xG overall - 2.15. 19 shots inside the box 22 shots average xG of 0.09. Remove Humes for offside it’s 1.57 xG with an average of 0.07 per shot only chances were mayendas and Isidors toe poke first half where the keeper made a great save. we’re not creating any clear chances the numbers back that up we’re just shooting on sight in half chances
Ah whey. Execution both ends killed us. Nice to see AA and Aleksic get a game. Looks like it won’t be too costly in the short term. Feel for Mayenda, who is already being permanently written off on the back of the last few days.
Despite the defeat, how good where Jobe and Neil? Jobe especially has learnt to use his strength and got out of some tricky situations through strength alone. It will come together and we will batter a team
I dont know why people are getting upset. We are where we are, where we deserve to be. We suddenly have found ourselves with better players than the majority of the teams in this league. We have not been outplayed this season. I dont think we will get top 2, three of the teams are a canny bit better than us, i hope we get the playoffs, if not, we can try again next season. Many were anticipating a bottom half finish/relegation fight this season. Where we find ourselves at the moment is still a bonus for me.
So we had around 30 shots, and it’s Le Bris to blame and not the players? Not forgetting the 2 blatant stonewall penalties we should’ve had?
Only quality chance was Mayenda. Just not good enough really. Need a system change or a new signing to help. Results like today were always going to come if we kept putting up such poor chance creation numbers, it just wasn't sustainable across a full season.
Only mistake that RLB made today was take the Serb off and change the shape. Game went **** after that. Otherwise it was the quality that let us down. All players made silly choices and some of the XG stats show thay, going for daft shots when simply 5 yard passes were on. Mayenda and AA has multiple chances to play people in and didn't.
It’s been like this since game one. We don’t create for a centre forward even Wilson’s chance he’s had to snatch at it quick because it bounced to him and that’s all he got for 90 minutes this was always going to happen as much as people want to slate xG
See, I just don’t see this happening at all. Nowhere near clinical enough in the final third. Even the wins we’ve had recently have only been by 1 goal
One of AA’s second half shots he had jobe open on the edge of the box next to him and shot. My dad was screaming
Not even just clinical, it’s creation that’s the problem we won’t batter a team unless we score 4 worldies
If you can't see the quality then I worry we will never meet your expectations. We hit the post 2 or 3 times, their keeper saved 2 or 3 great shots, we should have had at least 1 penalty.
I'm very happy with how things are going young team new tactics but feel we are developing all the time. Our lack of depth and chance conversion is a worry but half a season to go and we are in the mix. Test for RLB second half of the season is to keep that progression going. Feel he needs more options. We dont really have any game changers on the bench
