Thanks and all that, but for me that thinks it just looks like lots of pretty pictures what does it mean. Were we good or not?

It was broken down throughout the thread mate.
typical RLB performance, allowing West Ham to ‘dominate’ their third and progressing into the middle and sitting stern making them try break us down to spring counters
game plan executed. So yes I’d say we were good personally
Brilliant that. Summed up my feelings on Saturday.

Thats some serious running
I would imagine they got them from somewhere, theres bound to be a shedload of websites with the information or maybe just guessed them?
Source was FotMob according to the tweet
Having seen all the horrendous one colour backs or bib arrangements that other teams have, I'm amazed that anyone ever said the patch was worse, personally. At least it remains an obviously striped back. Would still prefer no patch at all, but it looks miles better than the alternatives.
Bet the ****er will volunteer for a week when we lose, though. If he doesn't talk about us all season regardless of the result I'd almost respect it more - albeit I'd be asking where my license fee was going!
Just looked fotmob are obviously having teething issues with the running system.
His stats say 9.9 but the per 90 league leaderboard says 13.5.
Mate, its just a tweet i saw over the road and thought it was worth sharing as it was impressive. If it turns out he only ran 9.9km then its still impressive
It's what makes KLD and KS plan so brilliant. Creating an identity that fits the football club. Yeah we would love skill and eyecatching footy like every fan (we still get some of that btw), but just give it everything and the fans will feed back. Exactly why we've targeted the profiles we have, full of energy and will cover a load of ground. Its going to be really tough but we've given ourselves a chance to compete, I dont think we can ask much more than that for where we are right now.
Phil Smith is genuinely very good. I don't always agree with everything he writes, but I'll always read it.
I’m not having a go at you mate I’m just wondering where the numbers came from of course it’s impressive
calm down
Looking at things from a different perspective.
It’s been said a lot that the 3 promoted teams are probably the ones to be relegated as the rest of the Premiership is so much better. The gap of about 20 points from the bottom 3 to the rest.
If nothing else, maybe WHU could join the 3 promoted teams as relegation favourites if they are as poor as they seemed.
On the other hand, maybe we were really that good and will stay up.
Both scenarios are positive.

Yeh FotMob have problems with their data it seems, as their data says Sadiki ran the most during the match but Reinildo the most so far this season
What's clear though is our players ran their socks off. Fantastic.
I thought Sadiki would've ran more than that - he was popping up all over pitch!
I just posted a tweet i didnt count it myself 
I was out in Henley today and drove past this place - Ballards
