Good luck Thomas.

The bigger issue is though is that it brings to an end the sorry tail of paying Chelsea £8M for Kalas, £2M for DaSilva & £2M for KP45 all had big wages and all left for nothing. An absolute disgraceful waste of club finances.

We got a fee for KP45

Dave, we had a discussion about NP a season or so back regarding his (roughly) 32% win ratio. You were at pains to explain to me that a win ratio does not tell the whole story.

@wendyredredrobin has understandably, imo, raised the issue of lack of shots on target: 4 in 270 mins. Again you say that this doesn't tell the whole story.

I dont think I'm entirely alone in having a much more simplistic view of football compared to you. I pays me money to be entertained, to get excited- even briefly. I obviously want to see goal attempts even if they don't go in!

I love fine food and know what tastes good without always knowing the ingredients, the process or the chef. BCFC ,in footballing terms, are serving up a pretty poor meal more often than not and for many of us - it is the story.

A shot that dribbles towards the keeper is counted as a shot on target. A volley that is heading for the top corner and blocked by a defender is not. A soft header a keeper could throw his cap over is counted as a shot on target. A diving header thudding against the inside of the post and bouncing clear is not.  

Shots on target is such a misleading stat and totally irrelevant

Hibernian have just lost their ECL qualifier to a team from Andorra. Some Hibs fans on Twitter saying it’s the worst result in their modern history. Do a good thing, followed up something terrible, seems to sum up LJ’s managerial career. 

managed to turn it around tonight though

TBF when you see those photos of the old and new , if it was the other way round I'd be raging.

Why? Pre-season isn’t about results. 

whoosh !

Torquay goalkeeper was not an  ex player

here's a turn up. Its now showing my details 

it might just be test details

I don't think you can add time to days or start early because of forecast rain but I think the cut off time should be reviewed so you get 90 overs in the day. I may be wrong but I thought this rule was bought in because TV companies weren't happy about not knowing what time a days play would finished and it played havoc with their schedules. However these days with dedicated sports channels its surely less of a problem?
