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..
We may be ahead on XG but not in actual goals scored.......which is the only stat that actually matters.
We've scored 9 open play goals though and only 4 teams have scored more than us in the league so far?
From open play we've scored 2 more than Portsmouth, 1 less than Peterborough and Ipswich and the same number as Sheffield Wednesday (these being the teams that have scored more than us in the first 6 games).
We need to sort our set pieces out as we haven't looked at all dangerous.

Only if your knowledge of football is limited to ‘put round thing in rectangle thing’
The real irony being the current xG stats backup everything you’ve been saying, you just can’t see it.
I'm contemplating putting the champagne on ice for when we sign a rip roaring goal scoring striker this week. Alternatively, should it be a modified chastity belt type contraption to protect me from the more likely kick in the balls?
You have brought back memories of two non league players who went on to play for us. Barry Endean type or Derek Hales type.
something will occur hopefully it’s that goal machine forward we have been calling for. Personally I would be happy with a Paul Williams type player. Woodford Town ,Dartford etc .
We'll get a Stuart Fleetwood, Gary Churchouse, Paul Gorman type player.
For all those happy to dismiss the Plymouth scoreline as an outlier might want to take note of the other sides that have played against 10 men this season, some for longer. None of them have scored 5 in fact most have struggled.
I think we should most definitely be including the result in our thinking and give the team a little credit for taking Plymouth apart

Yeah but but but Plymouth could have scored against us when it was 1-0 so had it stayed 11v11 it probably would have ended 2-2 zzzzz
Plus we must have faced them when they had a bad day, rather than us being good
Oh yeah we're their bogey team too... So when you factor in all those points, it means we basically lost!!
I was chatting to someone last week (Sunderland fan) and he reckons us and a few others are looking at Jack Diamond 🤔 plays on the left wing so not sure whether to believe it or not, unless Kirk moves on.
Well that's not going to happen, he signed on loan for Lincoln 🙄
I'm interested to hear about any further updates from "credible" sources about Gilbey/JFC. It's very frustrating that the barrier to bringing players in is shifting those two.
Astonished that no-one has taken a punt on JFC. Maybe the injury history represents just too much of a gamble for most teams?

Would you pay a fee for a player that had started 1 league game in 16 months?

I don't believe it is a barrier. No salary cap in place and 3 places still available under the squad number. There will be incomings before Friday come what may despite what's been said about that

What isn't mentioned is how we won the penalty. A goal bound shot being tipped over the bar. If that went in, we would have been 2 up against 11 and I think we would have seen out the game. I do t think plymouth were good enough to come back from 2 down

Probably won't make a difference if he is since there won't be anything to report

I see Aaron Pierre has joined Sutton.
All joking aside,
Ronnie could have been perfect for Ben Garners style of football.
I reckon he would be more successful as a striker than Stockley.
