Nothing major, A lot of effort going into global press, They want some back up to claims, having reached out to club for comment who are denying a number of things we know to be true. (Though that being said the person replying is that far down food chain, it's comical) Expecting some articles to go to press imminently. Complete silence from club as they continue to avoid engaging, with it appearing they want to fob groups off in Lindsay Talbots direction and mask communication tick box through FF. If the FF boycott then they will be in breach of EFL Rules though we are looking into those engagement breaches already as we don't believe they are compliant with the charter. The final group not in the Coalition has been reached out to, to make it a full suite. Noticed the Yasir interview yesterday claiming the 150 celebrations were inclusive and open to all, despite no one being invited bar a member of the 100 club and WATR (2 reps) . Making it a total of 3 reps on the panel. With Waggott now gone, the feeling from our club sources is funding and ideas will be cut significantly, despite things having been previously agreed in principle with the exiting CEO

Yeah I went to one and he said the same.

All to get a small increase in wage contribution. No strategy at our club, just short term focus. If they had any strategic focus they'd have kept him at Chesterfield and increased his resale value. Instead failed and looked short term and ended up getting nothing for him

The Temptations - Treat Her Like A Lady

I think Travis especially they will be keen to get out of the door, and then make something up that he doesn't fit in our "new system" or something.

They'll try and sell Tronstad and Travis this summer I don't doubt it.

Stats like these are absolutely irrelevant. As it's got no context, or show opponents. If you showed pairings e.g. Travis and Tronstad together on the pitch with Aynsley Pears it'd tell a story.

Criminal that we have allowed ourselves again to get to the stage where our two most influential players are out of contract in 12 months time with not even a hint of talks, but not surprising at all.

Some squad stats sorted by how well we did with them on the pitch vs how well we did without them. No surprise who's at the top.

I went to a Sportsman’s Evening a while back where Dean Saunders was the guest speaker. Somebody asked him who the best player he’d ever played with was. He said “ Paul McGrath, he was incredible given he never trained “.

Wish I could give this 2 likes.

I refereed McGrath towards the end of his career when he went to Sheffield United. During a break in play I had a chat and I could smell the alcohol on his breath. Despite that he was the best player on the pitch and his natural athleticism was apparent.

Stats on a player being able to win a header are fairly meaningless if the player has limited technique and the ball ends up travelling in a different direction than intended.

Yet we had a very good record when Gally played iirc. Causation vs Correlation.

Disagree, and there's a big difference between competing with the good headers from the past like RSC and Gestede, and being amongst the poorest headers. If I were to guess I'd probably say he scored 3 headers, and wasn't always given much aerial supply. Seems a fairly normal amount. There were games where he was winning everything in the air. He appears to be in the top 1 percent of players in the league for winning aerial duels, with 6.31 per game.

Kuqi had a superior goal celebration though!

Couldn't agree more. Can't understand how he's carved out a career in professional football at all. The point I was making was that he buzzes about and looks lively at times which must impress managers but it all goes wrong when he gets the ball.

If Iv missed something I apologise but I’m counting 12 goal contributions (league) in his first season?

I’m taking it in isolation in response to your posts about Gallagher. As I mentioned I don’t think either are great.but the highest ‘league goal contributions’ in gallaghers tenure was 12 I believe and Gueye has 12 this season in his first season. As a forward that’s all that really matters….is it good enough probably not going forward as for his fit etc that’s for the manager to now decide I’m merely stating that he has done no worse than what Gallagher has ever done at a snipped of the price that’s all

Think he's absolutely terrible personally, should be in league 1.

I don’t disagree on the overall point, but that first season of Gallaghers was statistically better (just).

Duplicate post

Hedges doesn't look too bad UNTIL the ball arrives at his feet.

Ultimately we shouldnt be using Gallagher as the benchmark anyway. But like I said, we won over twice as many games in the half season worth of games that he didnt start and combined with only 6 goals, I dont think he had a good season individually nor one that was above the majority of Gallagher's seasons here. I dont think he fits into the style of the rest of the squad either and I wasnt impressed by his body language towards the end of the season when he came on in games. When Ohashi doesnt play, Gueye certainly doesnt slot in seemlessly as the results prove. I also dont see the contribution of missing an open net but it hitting his heel leading to someone else scoring, or him winning a header 30 yards out as on par with a goal personally.
