Classic misunderstanding... No one, no one, literally not a single person, no one has even thought about, no one has even hinted at, no one, no one, no one... has suggested the league table should go anywhere. 

For years match reports have shown:

1. Shots

2. Shots on target 

3. Possession

4. Corners

5. Fouls committed

etc etc

Should also abandon these stats and not report them because they are a waste of time... who judges if a shot was on target, who judges if a speculative punt forward counts as a shot or not.... There is no point having them is there.... they dont impact the league table!!

You can have as many stats as you like

The only one that really counts is the goals scored column

Makes you wonder why the BBC, Sky, BT Sports and every national newspaper print the other stats!!

Get rid of them... who wants to further understand how the game went anyway?

Lots of people are getting very worked up about a simple statistic they can simply ignore if they want.

Dont care about the possession stats, ignore them.

Dont care about xG, ignore them.

Also what the hell does the,I assume tactics coach,show the substitute when he gets his 200 sheet A4 file out?

The subs look at it as if it was a diagram of how to split an atom 

Football is a very simple game complicated by bean counters

Now you have lost me... 

xG isn’t a tactic.

Like all stats they are what they are. Make of them what you will. Like Leicester when they won the league, stat wise they always had little possession. So they were lucky? No they played on the counter. Stats by themselves mean nothing, but stats plus football brain can hint you a thing or two.

For the stats fans, the Vale have the highest shots on target % in league 2 at 42%.

For those that don’t care for stats, best to ignore the above. 

All we have to do is to convert those shots into goals at a higher rate than hitherto and we walk away with the league. 

Easier said than done.
