I understand what Lambo is saying but I agree with you. The whole simons thing is bollocks…from his point of view he may aswell have stayed at Chelsea and gone out on loan. If Rosie rated him so highly, why not give him ago. Instead he’ll bring in another player
I don't think Simons has played all that badly when given the chance he seems to have been **** on by the club.
 
Recognised by who? His tackling stats last season were 1.07 tackles won per 90 minutes, not even as good as Harry Vaughan (1.11).

Where as Morton completed 61 successful tackles in 40 appearances.

That's better than 1.5 per 90 mins considering he averaged 76 minutes over each of those 40 appearances. (edit 1.98 successful tackles per 90 according to footystats)

Seri was 1.46 which still blows Simons out of the water.

He barely played but that is the type of midfielder he is.

He's played less than 8 senior games worth of minutes in his career. I don't understand the hand wringing. He's not a top half championship starter by any stretch. Not to say he can't be. But he ain't there yet, but as a 'ball winner' I'd expect his successful tackles to be better than Seri, Vaughan, Morton et al but he's nowhere near.

Can we have a separate stat thread in the same way we started a seperate FFP thread.

This constant stat nonsense is boring as ****kk to the normal casual supporter.
It’s bollocks

Oh come off it, it's hardly ****ing PHD level statistics now is it?

And if someone does post bollocks that the stats completely rebuff ( like who is a ball winner, who had the best defensive record outside the promoted clubs under the current managers tenure and whether he's had us 10th on form in his 28 games last season) then why the hell shouldn't we use them?
