Interesting on that map, how Amos distribution is so much more successful down the right, and also highlighted on the heat map
Yes, hadn't noticed that. Maybe it's because Chuks was on the right more?
Shocking that Smyth only made 4 passes, one of which was a defensive clearance
Yeah, you would think he should make more than that.
But Smyth is a busy player though, always moving, making runs, pulling defenders out of position, creating space, pressuring and being a nuisance. Not many passes but plenty of involvement offball with the team's gameplan.
I think this can be an issue with these sort of stats. There are other tiers of refinement needed for them to really tell the full story.
In the case of Morgan, I think it is highly likely based on what I watched that he was trying the passes that open up a team. There is more risk to these and many players don't have the vision to make them.

You'd expect the attacking midfielder to give the ball away more as he'll be trying the lower percentage forward passes
I imagine KDB's percentage stats would be worse than Fernandinho's
A young Jimmy Seed speaks ..... proper Geordie accent to my ears. Have you seen your Grandad on this @JamesSeed ?
Charlton in 1936, soon after consecutive promotions to the top tier First Division. Good footage of the huge East Terrace, some of it still under construction.
I love seeing this sort of thing. Thanks for posting, Seth. @seth plum
I always loved his accent, which was technically Makem rather than Geordie.
I see that Jimmy Seed grew up near Sunderland, so that would explain his Makem accent, then.
Two absolute legends, having Sunderland roots; Jimmy Seed for a very long time as manager and Clive Mendonca for a short time but gave Cafc fans their greatest day out ever at a mega stadium. 2019 wasn't too shabby and for the fans still alive the FA cup win in April 47 would be a magic memory (they won't have a clue what they did yesterday !)
I assume Clive Mendonca had South American roots on his paternal side. He played like a top Brazilian with that hatrick.

That’s correct, Clive’s paternal family are from Guyana. His uncle Ivor was a West Indies cricketer, something Clive himself only found out while playing for us as he’s not stayed in contact with his dad.
Now I won't deny I missed the celebration in real time but Bogle 100% celebrated the goal. Love the headbutt from Aneke pushing him into the onrushing Morgan too.
Further proof of the commentators had a restricted view was the fact that one of them said that Bogle hit the far post and it went in,
Yes that’s what they said at the time but as can be seen on the replays his shot actually hit the near post and ended up in the far corner.

I went against all my principles and clicked on that dreadful Daily Mail site. My God, it was so difficult to try and read the article with all that movement and flickering of background advertisements - clickbait at it's worst.
But I persevered and actually quite enjoyed the Clive Mendonca interview. Of course we get lots of mentions and in depth discussion of our famous Mendonca hat-trick Wembley final ...... he analyses all his goals and tells you what was going through his head at the time.
"'But this, it has stirred the emotions. I'm proud, really proud. That game was my defining moment, all them years of working hard, God repaid me that day. It was just unfortunate for me it was against Sunderland!'
Really good read. If only it wasn't the wretched Daily Mail website.

Shocking I know!
Is that because he was attempting more daring passes than anyone else?
In the case of Morgan, I think it is highly likely based on what I watched that he was trying the passes that open up a team. There is more risk to these and many players don't have the vision to make them.

The best way.
Then 0-3 to Hull, 0-2 to Charlton.
If they use move another player there then that leaves space elsewhere on the pitch.

Looks like his Nan died earlier this year a few days before she’d have turned 105.
