I see the Rs are at the foot of the Second-Half PL table, but sitting in 12th place in the First-Half table. Is this clear indication that we run out of puff, discipline and an eleventh man as the match progresses?
Or lack heart? Shooting also shocking. The Faurlin one just staggers me though. He's still top after missing the last month and a half. Still at least it confirms what we've been saying all along. Holt is a dirty b*****d.
Barton's shooting is so shocking that, if he had a wet dream, I wouldn't be surprised if he missed the inside of him jimjam bottoms.
The Opta Stats app on my phone says that Barton was our most influential player and had the best pass completion ratio of both sides. I didn't see the game but I'm guessing he was the slightly best of a dire bunch?
2 stats I dont need opta to tell me, we are right down at the bottom in % of shots on target and shots on goal saved. Not a good combo when almost all oppenents shots go in and we cant hit a cows arse with a banjo, even if we do, our shots are so weak that they are easily saved.
He did OK, industrious as ever but still gives the ball away too easily and his set pieces leave a lot to be desired. Having said that, he did have to do the work of two men once Diashite was sent off. As he probably has done since we lost Faurlin.
its true, without faurlin you're falling. sorry, terrible pun. He was immense for you, and i think he and Derry were a vital part of your outfit last year. Hope hes back soon. And yes, Holt is a naughty boy, but clever too. 62 fouls and only 4 yellows. Shows he knows when not to push his luck. In fact he's got more than a 1/4 of all our fouls this year. As a team we don't commit that many.
Shhhh. Talk like that gets you shot round here! (He wasn't the best anyway. Hill for me and a lot of others. Lies, damned lies and statistics eh?)
