Oh bloody Nora, Lancs Live now writing filler pieces with xG (and xA....) as the source https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/bradley-dack-injury-impact-return-20375848.amp?__twitter_impression=true

Yeah but if you ignore the results, and the performances then the ‘numbers’ show we are doing well I believe the team that finishes outside the top ten with the highest xG goes into the preliminary rounds for the Intertoto cup and gets a £25 Subway voucher

xG is just a silly pseudo science, this isn’t baseball, cricket or American Football, stats to that level of detail just don’t tell the story in football. We may have won 1 in 15 but the ‘numbers’ suggest we are better, no, it doesn’t work like that. Whatever numbers; stats or whatever you want to overlay the proof is irrefutable, the manager is not getting the results.

My worry is we will win 2-3 on the bounce at the end of the season and all will be forgotten. ‘he should be given the chance to build on it’ etc etc will ring around the Twittersphere

Also we didn’t win them because Armstrong was out, didn’t he play in half of this 1 win in 15 run?

He’s going to dine out on that famous point for a while now

Today’s result guarantees we finish on less points than last season The season is a failure by any metric

A late equaliser is always nice but i won’t be celebrating a point at 8th place Cardiff after 1 win in 15 in a season where the target was promotion Dumbing down to say otherwise

An entire 5 man midfield changed in one go, wow

Quintuple sub!

Before we play the luck card, we should have played 70 minutes with 10 men remember

Oh we scored, I should pretend to be excited, can’t even be bothered doing that

This trend of lying behind the wall is stupid, never actually helped stop a goal

What a sorry state of affairs when you can't tie down new deals for the likes of JRC and Rothwell, one a half decent young lad who has just broke through and another with obvious talent but never set the world on fire. The kind of deal that would be easy if they had faith in the manager they were playing for

Well now it will be!

So he plays Travis straight after a long lay off with no reserve games then stops playing him eventually with no reserve games either. Prime bullshit

So close to retaining our ‘only shitter by 1 goal’ streak

I wouldn’t look forward to it too much

How do the numbers look?

Honestly not that bothered if we win today, a slightly improved mid table position hardly feels something worth celebrating. Fancy we will win mind you

I also think if given the option of walking away or trying to turn it around with the prospect of a pay off if not then most of us would take the second option. That may be because we think we have enough about us to turn it around or it could be because it’s more lucrative but either way it’s clearly a more attractive proposition. Sorry to say I wouldn’t be walking away myself

No point judging till we see the stats breakdown

Another great delivery but crap defending

Pathetic effort from Brereton there

JRC has joints and muscles made of play doh
