IMO the real problem is we don't have a dominant midfield. Karacan is in yer face, energetic, brave, but rarely constructs a move (though he has occasionally made brilliant passes and may be THE man by the end of next season)... Howard, IMO is a spent force, fails too often with his passing and give...

Snowball Long and Kebe among 2010's best


Jimmy was joint eighth and would surely have been higher but for a six-week injury lay-off from mid-October onwards.

Thanks to Sky Sports' Football League Weekend for the stats.

Long missed 4-5 games through suspension, 1 through injury, was sub about 3+2 times

Long and Kebe among 2010's best Royals duo Shane Long and Jimmy Kebe are both among the top ten goalscorers in the Championship for the calendar year 2010. Long scored a total of 14 League goals, with Kebe one behind on 13. 23-year-old Long was therefore the joint fifth highest scorer for the year,...

Nope, I would keep Antonio. He has a major role to play in the future at this club.

This, yes. He is probably the next Kebe, without the warm up year

Snowball

Svlad Cjelli Does anyone have any stats on how many times Snowball has turned abusive when someone has challenged his use of stats?

Rarely. I love DEBATE but react to ABUSE

Self abuse > all

why is everyone picking one snowball these days?

Because I keep getting proved right, and they hate it!

Know nothing about Bignall out on loan but thought he looked VG
when he scored two in the League Cup. Looks the sort of player
who needs a big/tall partner and they work as "Smash and Grab"


Would not surprise me to see him do well in a couple of years

If we manage to not get beaten, our run will be starting to look awesome WWLDDDDDWWD+, one defeat in 11/12 games (against QPR), 9 without defeat I've predicted a draw already, but in truth I think it could be anything. If we play like we did at Hull we'll be tonked badly. At our best we can get a go...

Big Foot Harte got the assist to the assist for our goal at Watford.

My apologies Big Foot.


I read that three times and still only saw "assist" once

Tilehurst End Fed

Griff
Pearce
Mills
Armstrong

Antonio
karacan
McAnuff
Liegertwood
Kebe

Long

Interesting side. Hope Antonio gets more minutes soon

Big Foot Harte got the assist to the assist for our goal at Watford.

Really? He passed to Long who crossed for Hunt, yes? So it's Long's assist?

Does he not look, quite simply, FAT?

He looks like he doesn't care any more.

I really can't remember Howard doing anything worthwhile when he came on at Hull. Antonio, though, made a big difference and he will frighten defences. I believe it will hurt us to lose Fedders but we need to look to the future. Sign him on a new contract with an escape clause, or allow him to go fo...

Snowball How will our 442 do against their ball-holding 451?

Snowball in "no stats" shocker

There are two numbers in ten words

How will our 442 do against their ball-holding 451?

where are your stats to back up the statement that 91% of the time, the team with the 3rd best goal difference will finish third? I didn't say that. A correlation of .91 more-or-less means you can say X maps to Y with an accuracy of 91% IT IS NOT A PREDICTION FOR SINGLE TEAMS or single instances. T...

thing is SB you say we will, if you say historically we SHOULD finish 3rd or 4th then you would not get pulled up all the time. Same as 92 points should get top two, but it is not guaranteed. If we finish the season with the 3rd best GD we'll finish 3rd or 4th, probably 3rd Ah, I see. My bad. My st...

When Shane was booked, the ref pointed all over the pitch as if indicating Shane was being booked for lots of little fouls

As an observation, if he's going to keep scoringing from penalties he needs some variety. Everyone at Hull yesterday called exactly where he was going to put the ball yesterday, and everyone - including the Hull keeper - was correct. Makes no sense to me why he takes them anyway. The change relatin...
