Thank you to the 32 Lifers who managed to get down from Cloud 9 and give their marks
I have got completely fed up with the "official" stats of the Football League, so from this edition of the stats I am correcting their errors where I see them namely in assists, shots on/off target, yellow & red cards, but I don't want to open the flood gates to discussion so my decision will be final - like the ref!!!!
A Lifer asked for a comparison of home and away stats so I shall try and do this every quarter of the season - 1st quarter today.
Do enjoy them and please tell me of any mistakes - in 6 pages there must be some.

Good stuff.
Man of the Match on "Average Marks for Players who have started at least 5 League One Games" should be Morro, not Hamer. You have both down.
Cheers Lancs
Excellent stats LL.
I'm sure Stephens took the corner for the 1st goal, so it's his assist not Jackson's ?
Jackson was diving in at the near post if anyone looks again.
Do we really play that much better away from the Valley - or is it that having invested so much time and money to follow the team around the country, the most loyal cohort among our fans is admirably more inclined to be generous in their appraisal of the players' efforts ?
But as long as we keep on winning, who really cares!
Didn't get chance to put my marks up this week due to spending the weekend away and work
However the mark given to Waggy for this is ridiculous. He had a pretty decent first half and adds to our defensive solidarity. 2nd half he had a bizarre 5 mins when little went right and his confidence drained.I think he's being marked on this brief spell. It was great management by Powell not to then take him off straight away and brought Green on for Hayes.
Most people agree 7 is good 6 is average.
Waggy scored 6.41 which is better than average. Personally I think that is more than fair.
No idea why and sadly no time to investigate at the moment
so to put this in to context of what we need to do. The max for second place is 92 points so thats a good taregt to almost guarantee promotion. We have 27 from 11 leaving 65 points needed from 35 games. So a record of 19 wins, 8 draws and 8 defeats should guarantee promotion. or 18-11-6 or various other combinations.
That should be seriously do-able unless we have a real bad run (which leeds did from a similar position 2 years ago and only just scraped through)
