Reasons To Be Cheerful

Our first goal from outside the box this season.

Another clean sheet.

Starting to be a great run of results in the league at AG.

No booking for Scott. Needs to manage that for one more game to avoid a two match suspension.

Two goals from open play

3 points to quell any lingering doubts from some about relegation (we've been safe for weeks but hey-ho)

Weimann back on the score sheet (and what a goal it was) 

Scotts first league goal of the season

Taylor-Clark League debut

Scotts performance today - a joy to watch and no booking (one game to go)

Andy King showing he's not done yet - a very good performance

No bloody injuries

Feel free to add (negatives not wanted thanks)

Due deference to Ian Drury with the title (ask yer dads young 'uns)

 

Being pedantic, sorry.

As good as Scott was today, King deserves special praise.

I’d written him off, especially as a centre back! But he was very good today all things considered, age, lack of game time etc…

His ball into Weimann for the goal was very clever.

He’s played most of his career in a more attacking midfield role and in a game where we controlled possession I thought he passed it well today, little probing passes here, nicely weighted passes there.

But he got his toe in several times today.

As you say, good pass to Weimann (think it was Sykes run that attracted the full-back).

He isn’t gonna play every week, but you can see why Nige wants him around on match day and at Failand.  He seems to enjoy bringing on the kids too.

All allegedly on a v.low wage.

1.9 points per game over the last 10. xG par of 1.8 points per game over the last 10 games.

Over a period of games results are consistent with performances, and both are consistent with top 4 seasonal form. 

GD is +0.5 per game over the last ten. That's also what you expect from a top four team.

I suppose what everyone else has said but from a slightly different angle.

The power to add given all of the injuries.

Atkinson, Kalas (subject to his future).

Naismith, Williams, James

Benarous

Conway

Plus a fully fit Wilson to compete and push.

Variety and depth wise that is some list to either be out or to be working back to full pelt.

Then the relative youth and age profile.

Tanner, Wilson, Atkinson, Pring arguably.

Potentially Williams.

Benarous, Mehmeti, possibily Sykes too.

Bell, Conway

All of an age that can grow to different levels. Perhaps O'Leary too given that goalkeepers historically can peak or perform at a high level for longer on average.

Scott is of course the jewel in the crown but will he still be here in 6 months??
