    Not a stats guy myself either mate but I'd been in a minor huff since the equaliser and was looking for something to cheer me up. I thought we had dominated and should have won but it sounds like a fair result which I can accept.

    That's two games now that we've played well in and could easily have won, I reckon it's starting to come together.

    I heard some on the game on radio and although we were a bit under pressure Williams and Mcmanaman were often involved then my heart missed a beat as JR came on for Williams. he is pretty clueless and lacking in concentrati0on confidence and focus - I think he was booked after about 3 mins for not retreating at a free kick. When Jones replaced McManaman you knew what was gonna happen - at least we got a point.
    I am beggining to wonder about our manager he talks the talk but not sure he walks the walk. You do not try to defend a 1 goal lead with a suspect defence and a dodgy keeper and no creativity in the team.

    I'm not going to play the blame game because I haven't seen any of it apart from the goals. I do hate the tactic of trying to hold onto a one goal advantage because it never works but in Grayson's defence it wasn't a strong bench and it wasn't his fault that a weak toe poke took a deflection and beat the keeper.

    I am a Grayson fan just and I'm not outrightly blaming him I am just concerned about his substitutions or lack of when needed - we got a point and he's still assessing some underperforming players (Rodwell) - I would'nt judge any manager or our team until at least end of October
    Hopefully we'll have a stronger line up against Cardiff our next game :emoticon-0148-yes:

    I'd be making 11 changes for the Everton game even if it means playing no recognised striker.

    Our players in nearly every game seem to tire around the 70 minute mark. I hope Grayson keeos them fresh for Cardiff

    We can't afford to play Vaughan that's for sure

    Thought Vaughan's goal was a cracker - hopefully that will have given him a lift.

    Pleased with the draw - 1 more point than I thought we'd get.

    Their goal was deflected in off kone
    I still think the keeper should of saved it.
    However he did have one of his better games

    Stats are way beyond the **** they drop at the bottom of the BBC pages, you can build a proper picture with the right information. As 83 says, from most stats you don't know where the shots are going. So, get your stats from a place powered by the official stat collector of the game, who give you the relevant details. For example, we can find out where everyone of all our shots went. 3 on target 1 of which was a goal while 2 were central shots saved, 1 wide and over, 1 over and 4 blocked. Not much of a sniff really.
