    Not good if true, but could be due to other clubs being in for him. Have doubts about Ryan Whelan but even if his source is reliable it might not be the full picture.
    "Representatives for Alex are now looking at alternative destinations with MK Dons also interested. However Charlton are unlikely to allow the midfielder to leave to a side they see as a potential rival to promotion."

    That statement seems like nonsense, especially when there are a dozen teams in L1 with a genuine chance of promotion
    Yes but anyone who does sign and intends to start Gilbey to spearhead their promotion charge won’t be deemed a promotion rival.

    Can someone narrow down this list to exclude anyone over the age of 25, under 6 ft and slow?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-two/top-scorers
    Personally off this list I'd like us to go for someone like Charlie Kelman. Young, direct, fast, good link up and good shot on him. Fails the height test, but not bad at 5 ft 9, bring on to cause panic in tired defences once Stockley's battered them, or starting where we're playing counter attack.

    Lincoln will probably find it a bit presumptuous too!

    I have a giant "MEH!" shaped balloon all ready for the window shutting, anyone else made any special arrangements?
    Going to trawl through this thread & find my posts in late June/early July where I said that we were slow in getting players in & that I would be proved right yet again when we fail to assemble a squad good enough for promotion. 

    Shall we see where we are in May before deciding our season is over in August?!

    no need for no need for the ‘muppets’ Douchy. 
    lets settle on clueless then 
    Point to me posts where more than one person has said they're happy with the Strikers we have available? - Seems the voices in your head are telling you something that isnt true
    can't be bothered - there are some though, trust me - in fact, you can have a look yourself 
    Haha of course not... I'm not the one who needs to backup calling people names
    if there aren't any, i haven't upset anybody have i? not sure why you're getting so touchy?
    Hahah “Muppets!  Clueless!  You’re the touchy one” 
    nope - i'm just stating a fact - why comment on it if you aren't touchy about it ? 
    I'm not touchy about it... I just think its pretty pathetic

    I mean what are you... Someone in their 40s / 50s, perhaps have kids of your own, and your acting like an absolute idiot running around calling people names like your on the school playground - When you then get challenged to find proof into what your accusing you suddenly cant be bothered.

    All because you cant agree with a differing opinion either
    think what you like, touchy 
    Isn’t that entire reason for you moaning?  People thinking what they like. 
    possibly - people that are clueless about football shouldn't really be allowed to think and post what they like, which is why the register will be useful
    You’ve now fully wet the bed, I’ve seen some meltdowns over silly things on here but this is up there.

    Also, didn’t Garner state that we’re after a centre back, I guess he agrees with us clueless mob…
    if we don't sign a striker, garner will be going on it don't you worry 
    We are not signing a striker …. Let’s get that out of peoples heads .. we will sign a wide forward who can play across the three

    Frazier Campbell is available...
    Was a good player.

    Don't know if he still is.

    But a centre back has to be a priority*


    * in case anyone doesn't get it saying we need a centre back as a priority is a mild leg pull of those repeating ad nauseum that we need a striker.

    Of course another striker would be great, as would another defender. Everyone can see that, no one is saying it isn't.

    Just some of us are phlegmatic about these things and others are less so.


    Que sera, sera
    Whatever will be, will be
    The future's not ours to see
    Sign a centre back-ee
    In short, a striker is what’s wanted most, but a defender is what’s needed most.  
    You and Irving are top of the offenders register don’t worry about that - be in bold just above garner if it don’t happen

    We are way ahead in XG from open play, so just need the finishing touches as so many have been saying. Get that and we will be right up there. Latest stats included btw my lad reckons..
  • Sorry but that does show how ridiculous xG is.

    I mean its great we're creating so many opportunities etc. and just need to take them.

    But Burton Albion are third on that list and bottom of the whole table.

    Disagree, you need to look further into it.

    https://theanalyst.com/eu/2022/08/league-one-stats-2022-23/

    Burton are 1st for open play xG against and we’re 2nd.

    So what it’s suggesting is we could both be in for some high scoring games if we keep this up.

    So it shows it’s important to convert them?

    Burton have also scored more goals than the teams around them at the bottom. The seven they've scored is more than Derby in 5th and Bolton in 10th. 

    Their problem has been keeping the ball out of their own net. They have conceded 18 already, that's six more than any other team in the league.

    They are only ridiculous if they aren't interpreted in the way they are intended.

    This is an xG statistic that doesn't:

    1) include set piece xG
    2) include any insight into defensive play

    Never mind actually being able to finish the chances you create from open play!

    It's also early in the season so a very small and potentially unrepresentative lack of games in the sample.

    The above are pretty fundamental variables that are going to dictate your results.

    It can't be relied on conclusively to judge who is the best team but it's a pretty good insight into who is any good with the ball.

    Interesting that we are top from open play but sit 24th in set play xG.

    It also illustrates how much better we would be doing if we had a striker who could convert.
    Sorry said the ‘s’ word!

    Some interesting graphics in that link. Especially the "team style comparison" shows us way out in front with Derby, Ipswich and MK Dons.

    The "zones of control" are also very insightful. Their aren't many teams better than us at controlling the ball and controlling territory. Perhaps Ipswich aside who look very impressive by all metrics. It could be the year they run away with it.

    But we'll wait a few more weeks to see how things change as their schedule gets harder and ours get easier.

    If you include set pieces and xG conceded and then sort by xG for minus xG against then we have been the 10th best team in the league so far. Interestingly Barnsley and Oxford are above us so have probably been unlucky so far and Pompey quite far ahead in 1st. 

    It’s still probably too early to read into these things too much, as it’s still quite a small sample size. So us playing a half against 10 men can massively boost our attacking numbers but then also our opposition has probably been tougher than most other teams so that will affect it.

    Swindon ranked 23rd last season in league 2 for it so it’s maybe not one of Garners strengths. Top teams now hire specialist set piece coaches but I doubt our budget can stretch to that unfortunately

    Not sure if that is true or someone trying to generate an illusion of being ITK on the back of Simpson going to Huddersfield.

    But if we do have £400k to spend I hope we spend  £350k on the centre back and £50k on a striker.

    Then everyone will be happy. 🖖

    Could also be the bloke from Salford who supposedly has now got Championship interest too.

    Or it could all just be Colin waffle.
