In Esteve and Assignon we've signed two new defenders who have now started 5 games together in which we've conceded 15 goals. I wouldn't say I've warmed to either of them that much yet.

Better than dawdling at the back, go nowhere and lose anyway isn’t it?

absolutely, why sit there waiting for the opposition to come take the ball off us when we could just give it straight to them

But not interest rates.... House prices are largely a consequence of those rates. The flat I bought in 1990 (at 14.5%) was £64k. Previously £100k. If you disregard Interest Rates then 1990 was a period when property was very affordable, but that isn't half the story. 1988 no so much, but rates were...

I've gone through all Bensons goals this season I reckon he's scored that goal against

Bristol City
Blackburn
QPR
Rotherham (A)
Middleborough (X2 but one was near post)
Rotherham (H)
Sunderland

I really enjoyed seeing Benson's realisation that Tella had absolutely no intention of passing as he burst into the box.

And that’s kinda my point - you can make stats look the way you want I’m not saying he would have been the saviour but getting a sporadic 10 mins here and there, we didn’t really see the best of him But he objectively didn't score "2 goals in 5 starts" if in those 5 games he only score once did he?...

Alternative view
2021/22 - 1 goals in 5 starts
2020/21 - 3 in 15
2019/20 - 1 in 7
2018/19 - 1 in 3

You're including goals he scored as a sub in this though. He only scored more than 1 goal in the games he started in the 20/21 season (I've edited above)

You keep mentioning cancer patients. I was a hospital doctor in early 2020 (now working in oncology). The idea we could have continued offering a cancer service as normal through the early days of the pandemic is a fantasy. We had hospitals filled with ventilated patients with a highly contagious di...

The raw data of deaths per population is pretty pointless when comparing (eg) Sweden’s approach to the first wave of covid with that of the UK. You’d need to factor in stuff like population density, age profile and the tendency or otherwise of a population to follow government guidelines. Here’s an...

Then why were the eminently qualified scientists who put forward the Great Barrington Declaration ignored, ridiculed and censored? Does Dr. Jay Bhattacharya only know as much as "Frank from accounts"?

So the player and their agent need a phone call to confirm their contracts at an end at the pre-agreed date? Not sure about that tbh Well it sounds like multiple players not on the retained list were surprised it was published without someone giving them the heads up. All the players were still emp...

Don't buy this argument really - if you buy really expensive players with your owner's cash then obviously when you sell them you will make a good profit on them - net spend is a completely bogus stat. Spend to "turnover without player sales" would give a better indication of whether a team is bein...

Predicted league goals scored based on:

Could have sent him off again for timewasting there.

Dreadful decision.

milkcrate_mosh

You don't get sent off for denial of a goal scoring opportunity when it's a penalty as long as it's a genuine attempt at the ball. Rules changed about 5 years ago.

He signed a new contract in January so a permanent move seems very unlikely.

I think we need to forget about Jay-not played since getting injured in the warm up at Watford.Too many times last season he did not make the team, and that was without injury sustained in the previous game. Soon we will be into 3 games in 7 days-we cannot afford to nurse people like Jay and JBG. W...

OK then, my training fees to get to a post-grad engineer aren't far off £100k plus continuous learning and membership to the iMechE.

I'd agree with that sentiment if it wasn't for the NHS paying to train the Doctors and if the average wage for a Doctor was above £80k/year, with most pushing £100k/yr. That means a 33% pay rise would mean another £26-33k per year!!! Doctors pay tuition fees, under the new scheme this can mean they...

I don’t understand why we don’t have more GP’s? It’s impossible to see one at the moment We've lost about 1600 full-time equivalent GPs in the last 5 years.

Don't think it's drivel really. He was living in Norway and playing in their national setup from U15 level up to the under 21s and presumably quite happy with it.

So it’s quite a big cut down from 4 times. And anyway, no one is saying Cork is a direct chance creating machine, in fact, almost the exact opposite.

Why not mention assists too?

Couldn't be bothered to add them up as well but it's 3 assists in 28 league starts.

Same stats get mentioned with Vydra without acknowledging half his ‘appearances’ have been for less than 10 minutes. In fact he now has 11 goals and 9 assists despite only starting 38 games for us.

Trend to agree with Jakubclaret as not sure 36 points will suffice to keep us up.
