We have two analyst coaches at the club who I am sure measure the individual statistics of our players during games and possibly training, but do they check all the statistics of clubs in our division?
We do not score many goals and we all know that without goals we need the defenders to do their job in stopping goals going into our own goal to try to eke out results to get us over the line.
Our director of football said last Thursday at the forum "we are not thinking about relegation and we have three games in hand and we got ten points in December so we will be alright" or words of that effect.
I wish I was as confident as he is, because although we did well points wise in December we did by changing the way we had been playing by going more direct by kicking long to Uche, who held the ball up and brought other players the room to score. Now no Uche (probably out for the season) and I cannot see Loft being able to do the same job.
So back to our need to stop the opposition scoring, our statistics do not look good.
Our goalkeeper save percentage is 67.3%
Only clubs with worse save percentage are :- Carlisle 67.2% / Fleetwood 64.9% / Reading 64.6% / Wycombe 62,5%
Tackles won 216
Team with the next lowest tackles won is Peterborough with 246
Interceptions 172
Only teams with lower interceptions are Bolton with 160 and Cambridge with 166
What these statistics show to me is that we are not strong enough in stopping the opposition in getting chances on our goal. So unless we gets a goalscorer in before the window closes and I can only see us going down.
I am praying I am wrong because Carol does not deserve it.
