Don’t necessarily disagree about the quality of the journalism but just on Edozie, they have absolutely asked about it previously. You could argue more could be done but I think it’s quite clear the club and Edozie both don’t want it out there especially whilst trying to sell him. I suspect finding out is probably quite easy but reporting it against either sides will is probably the challenge. I also don’t think the answer is going to be much more juicy than ‘he doesn’t want to play because he nearly left last summer and neither the club or him want him injured’

I know.

Our passing statistics are as good as most in this league fwiw. Possession, pass success, accuracy, creativity, goals scored in open play, whatever pass based metric you want to use. He's a fascinating player because statistically he has more shots than anyone in the league which means he's wasteful and yet racks up numbers. No player has had more shots on or off target than him. Given the above about our creativity both this season and last time we were in it, I'd suspect his numbers would drop significantly elsewhere which is what happened at WBA. Anyway, the main reason we shouldn't fear letting him go is he's not got the quality of where we presumably want to be. The main reason we should fear letting him go is replacing him.

That’s not nonsense, it’s you not understanding how it’s calculated. Given a penalty is 0.75/0.8 in most models because that’s roughly how many times they are scored you can start working out the logic from there. Not sure about ours but they scored from a yard out, so it’s no surprise their XG is higher.

It also forgets that we have another 17 games at least to sit through as fans. The people who say it won’t be sat there next week telling everyone the season is over and the missed chances and dropped points they are witnessing doesn’t matter because ‘the season is over’. Didn’t happen last season and won’t happen this season.

I’m quite happy to see the back of Armstrong (as long as we replace him properly) but the idea that he goes to Wrexham and suddenly turns into Ronaldo/Gets his arse in gear is quite funny. He’s got plenty of goals this season and if he continued to do that at Wrexham it wouldn’t be some up turn of quality, it would be a continuation.

Don’t remember the manager missing sitters all season but might have missed it.

Makes you wonder why given the experience of their two managers compared to ours this year we remain ahead of them in the league. Weird old world.

Any other week this works but didn’t we beat Everton and Leeds regularly under that Lego headed cock thinking? 😂

Weren’t you on here recently asking people to be nice about a certain member of our fanbase btw? I’m not sure the comment you were responded to were much different than this 😂

I don’t doubt any of what you’re saying I was just making sure nobody misunderstood that players are absolutely watched by the club. I don’t know ‘the detail of exactly we scout players’, so no. I do know people who have worked for the club doing scout reports by watching the players though so I know that it happens. I’m pretty sure there are online content creators who not only work for the club doing exactly that but will happily answer certain questions about it for you though if you find and ask them nicely.

I'd be shocked if Wolves or Burnley don't step in there first. Especially if Wolves sell Strand-Larson.

Just saw Southampton are now 15th with some of the same players Martin had. But it’s nothing to do with managers, tactics or formations.

This suggests that spectating players has been replaced fully which isn't true.

I haven’t seen his reaction but from what you’re describing it’s more likely he’s recognising every player is/about to be in our own half and he’s being cautious by staying in the opposition half.
