Finger on the pulse media and comms team, as always

Is based on the chances you create, basically. So if you have a penalty, that’ll create an xG of 1 straight away as you’re expected to score in that situation. Or if a team gets battered, but scores a 35 yard goal, their xG will be tiny as they’ve scored a worldie which wasn’t expected. People call it pointless, but it’s very very indicative of overall performance and dominance of a game. Give me consistently positive xG over possession any day of the week, as is being shown with a lot of clubs atm as largely useless.

No shock Holden has been given the boot. His record there is pretty abysmal. Be amazed if he gets another manager gig now. Clearly a great coach but seemingly lacking the discipline and authority, if his time here is anything to go off.

That’s literally their only strategy for the foreseeable. Done it every season for as long as anyone can remember. This season it’s even heavier on that with even more expensive loans, and even more expensive 1 or 2 year deals on ancient players who they think are brilliant, but will be in for a cold dark winter if they’re forced to play 3 games a week consistently. Compounded by their brilliant owner earlier in the year saying there’s no point having an academy as the cost of it doesn’t warrant it….brilliant.

Would be amazed if he takes another domestic job next. Can see him going abroad. Don’t think many L1 clubs would take a chance on him, the ones he would want anyway. Penny for Reuben McAllister’s thoughts too….risky/silly career choice.

Sounds like he’s been listening to his da…..agent a bit too much and is probably waiting for a top half prem team to come in and guarantee him 90 mins every game.

They are just genuinely very thick on there. It’s like a bad car crash. I know I shouldn’t look but I’m just intrigued. Some of the stuff they really debate or believe is incredible. They do truly think it’s the Green Party who’ve stopped the whole stand rebuild process. Beggars belief! **** me. Case, point. They were pushing top 2 when they signed Hunt last week. Now suddenly they need a final 104th signing of the window or else they’re doomed ??

Schalke have had crowds of 60,000+ for their first 2 home games of the season. Crazy.

Can’t be too far off the sack at this stage. The replies to their ft tweets say it all

This is sensational ?????

Ffs radio Bristol saying they didn’t deserve to lose. Christ. They were dominated and keeper had to make a few brilliant saves to stop it being worse. But yeah, local media are negative about them and love us. Ffs

Imagine being bantered off by ******* Wycombe ffs ???

What a brilliant win for L1 galaticos. I’m sure it’s all the refs fault despite being totally dominated and Wycombe losing two players to injury

Wycombe walking all over them. 0-2. If not for their keeper it’d be 0-4.

Blimey, if that’s the standard of the L1 galaticos after the team of superstars they’ve assembled, R Joe is gonna be after another 6 signings before next week

Link a brother up!

The gift. They just keep giving.

Huge talking point for them today that they have new seats in the dugout….sign of intent apparently. Class.

Thank god someone said it!

This is a Hull side who have a ‘bright young forward thinking manager’ who are massively being backed in the window and ‘giving it a real go’, and How we didn’t win it is a mystery. Hard to find any negatives in that other than we didn’t score 2 or 3

Challenge anyone to moan about our amount of shots and chance creation tonight. Been an absolute onslaught at times against a team who are ‘going for it’

Knight will be POTY simple as

Let’s be honest, the fact no one has come in for him speaks volumes. Had a pretty average second half of the season last year after a spectacular first half, and from Gas mates seems to have started the season pretty poorly. Should’ve tried to cash in for him when you had the chance.
