Not bad at all.

Not bad at all.

Depends how you use the stats. Didnt score in 8 of the 11 games.

Remember when you told me it didn't matter how we got the points.....

How is that the same?

How is that the same?

I'd think around that if I were you.

 

[H T B]

You can only get 3 points max, for a game

Exactly.

I think Pop thinks you get 6 points when a player scores 4 goals in a game. Bless him.

It's wonderful that you still haven't understood.... You're really HTB in disguise aren't you.

Couple of player updates;

Braybrooke - Dundee - 5 appearances.

Silko Thomas - Wigan - 12 appearances, 0 goals.

Amani Richards - Exeter - 5 appearances 1 goal. But played in the under 21s last match.

Chris Popov - Barrow - 8 appearances mostly a few mins from the bench.

Brandon Cover - Port Vale - 12 appearances 2 goals.

Brad Young - Hartlepool - 6 appearances.

Ben Nelson - Oxford - 8 appearances some fan comments
Predicting that Nelson is going to get better and better. Looks like a star to me.
Looking forward to seeing his trajectory between now and the end of the year.

People say Goodrham has got a high ceiling but this guy looks something else, by far the most promising player at the club. A real Rolls-Royce of a defender who simply oozes class. Wish he was ours rather than just on loan as you’d have thought he’ll be worth millions one day if he keeps developing like this and avoids injury. Tall, quick, strong, reads the game well, lovely technique when hitting the ball, calm under pressure and seems to have a good temperament.

Hope we keep him all season.

Watched Oxford two or three times now - Nelson has been simply magnificent

Surely in the team next season.

It’s only Championship opposition but he looks miles better than any of the collection of duffers we have been playing

Anyone know if we recall him, or is it a season long deal?

It was announced as a season, but sometimes there will be a clause in a loan contract that allows it to be ended in January. So, maybe...

Yeah, thought it was

Wouldn’t bring him back if Cooper stays in charge, anyway - it would ruin him

 

[TommyK]

Unfortunately, out him in this side and it would be a car crash. It's the system and leadership, not the players imo.

 

[Miles Away]

We should be playing Nelson today.

Plainly obvious he’s got the goods.

Instead we’ve got the collection of bomb scares to select from.

This is an excellent point.

Who are we playing today?
