Despite the appearance of two points lost, I’ll take that. Rumours of our demise unfounded. Dewey beats Truman.
Other games a mixed bag, Huddersfield and Stockport drop points, Stevenage do a leap frog.

My one, mild, critique of the methodology would be that it likely overweights a poor start. Lincoln, Huddersfield, Bolton - 1 point from 3 games in that opening salvo. Later games against current top six - Cardiff 0 from 1, Bradford 3 from 2, Stockport 4 from 2, Bolton 1 from 1, 8 from 6 games. Over...

It’s only relatively recently that the spur from Nottingham to Mansfield by rail was reopened, so the big bus station is a legacy of that really. You used to have to get the bus from Nottingham Having spent a night with that bus station as my view from the hotel, I feel I've got to really know the ...

Actually dreading this one with a full away end, they`re going to be noisy and the team are flying . do the footy buses run at half time? :D Their form over last 20 odd games is pretty much the same as ours - mildly better but boils down to 1 additional draw over 10 games. (for them, 21 games since...

This is where we were at the start of the thread. Leam overall form in league - played 13 won 6 draw 4 lost 3 1.69 ppg This is where we are now. Leam overall form in league - played 22 won 11 draw 6 lost 5 1.77 ppg So in a spell where we had Bolton (H), Port Vale (A) and Mansfield (A), necessitating...

Whereas fans get angry about an offside, but offsides do have a positive correlation with winning, and are a sign that your team is winning the midfield battle and is attempting through balls into dangerous places from which goals are often scored. Started having a look at the stats - feels that, w...

Its an odd old part of the world. It took 90 minutes + for the rail replacement bus to get there. The town felt like a light industrial unit had been sponsored by Taco Bell and Greggs. Literally nothing going on later that evening. Yet it had one of the biggest bus stations I've seen in a provincial...

Whereas fans get angry about an offside, but offsides do have a positive correlation with winning, and are a sign that your team is winning the midfield battle and is attempting through balls into dangerous places from which goals are often scored. yeah, as you and Sutekh allude, they likely have a...

a couple of stats that I've been looking into; we've been caught off side 45 times this season. only Mansfield have been caught off side fewer times on 38. Now whilst this isn't a table we want to be top of, it does indicate that we don't get into many attacking situations. and certainly shows we d...

It feels like we've had perpetual injury crises for a decade except under Selles. It's not a coincidence. LR talks a lot about the importance of fitness and a good pre season, so hopefully next season is better. I’m 99% sure some solid statistical research has been done on this topic, as injuries a...

Hard to believe they`ve been bottom 4 for quite a long time this season It’s hard not to pick an arbitrary point, but they won twenty games ago, and that’s a nice round number. It also took them off bottom position. Played 20 won 11 drawn 3 lost 6 for 1.8 ppg. It is quite similar to our recent/LEAM...

Leam overall form in league - played 22 won 11 draw 6 lost 5 (1.77 ppg). 10 games left to go, so keeping the same form gives won 5 draw 3 lost 2, an additional 18 points, for a total of 72. Our form remains pretty solid - how much has it changed since this thread has started? As it stands, we probab...

- if it's not on a plate, Long Kelvin doesn't want it - I hate, like properly loathe, Savage in this position - Doyle slows down attacks more than Ejaria did, and that's saying something - Fraser was utterly anonymous (again) - Even on a night like this, Ward is still a bright light in this team Ye...

Somewhere between “that was dire” and RoyalWasters post. Three or four early chances, and it took a deflection to decide it. But that doesn’t hide a pretty miserable second half and a complete failure to change the direction of the game. Fewer boos at FT than Port Vale. It took me almost 4 and a hal...

Oh and the goal mouths will cut up.

Right, watching the game now

Mud starting to come through along the flanks

Anyone else try to make it by public transport?

Line from Nottingham is proper fucked.

Oh yeah, their defending on two of the goals was pish and two of our most creative players pulled a top tier goal out for the other.

League One. Innit.

First chance to post. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Just :lol: @ this season. Leam Richardson - 39 pts from 21 games (1,86 ppg), > 50% win percentage and the squad still have gears to go through. Maybe there's something in this 'being patient' approach. :lol...

Corners are notoriously shit to score from... I recall some stats donkeys years ago, maybe Coppell/McDermott era... that teams scored on average about 4 goals a season direct from corners. Though that’s changing isn’t it - not filtered down through the divs yet but how many corners have Arsenal and...
