Steven W Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I thought we missed Djoum today (I mentioned this to my boy at half time to which the chap sitting next to us, despite not asking for his opinion, took great exception too - didn't realise I was sitting next to Pep Guardiola). Levitt had his best, and most forward role of the season v Kilmarnock as Djoum's inclusion allows him to. Levitt was often found tonight a few yards in front of the centre halfs where he's no use, and hence his poor night. Fletcher, who I thought was decent v Kilmarnock had another 'Fletcher' performance. Someone may correct me, but I think he's started 100 percent of the games in which we've not scored. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only games I've seen him in the flesh. We won 4-0 on Wednesday with him in the side and yet were very poor tonight (for 70 minutes) when his omission was the only change to the team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'd said I'd look into some Fletcher related stats a couple of weeks ago and gave it a wee go today. This will all no doubt get pulled apart so if that's what floats your boat, do crack on. My earlier stat on Djoum was described by another poster as too simplistic so I done the same for him. I reckon (there WILL be inaccuracies in this no doubt) Fletcher has played 1092 minutes for us, with the team yielding 11 goals in that timeframe (a goal every 99 minutes). He's not played in 539 minutes with the team yielding 10 goals when he's been off the pitch (a goal every 54 minutes). Of the seven times we've failed to score in a match he (along with Smith, Edwards and Levitt) has started every single one. Of the eight games he's either been a sub or not figured at all, we've scored in every game (admittedly v Hearts and v St Mirren he got the goals coming off the bench) Djoum - played 343 minutes with the team yielding eight goals (a goal every 43 minutes). Of the 289 minutes he's not played in we've scored once (a goal every 289 minutes - excellent spot of maths there). He's been on our books for 7 matches and figured in five, and we've scored in all five of those. Of the two he's had no involvement at all in we've scored zero. (Wish I had those stats to hand when that bloke ripped my head off when I casually mentioned to my son that I thought we were missing Djoum.) I trust someone will reply with a 'That's Numberwang!' gif..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone interested in stats here’s one about our existing manager relating to his ONLY previous managerial appointment; with a League 2 club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm suggesting is the team seems more productive with him in it 2 - Giving Ashgar the boot is not the magic wand that so many United fans seem to think it is. 3 - Quite agree. Certainly don't consider myself 'on-board' with Fox. I highly doubt he'll last the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you listened to the most recent Dode Fox Podcast with Dave Bowman? The clubs been transformed. We've been hauled into the modern era of football by Tony himself. He's made us into such a great club in his short time. He'll no be going anywhere. Shame we're cut adrift at the bottom, have two bombscare goalies and spending an absolute fortune in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the Australian teams LB selection, Behich should start 3/3 assuming there's no injury or fitness concerns. Levitt might have a harder run in the WC with Ramsey also in the squad. On paper yes but we'll just have to wait and see... (I'd also argue that we only really signed Behich for the WC money but) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More settled dressing room and more focus on the field now maybe? Like the guy does have a wealth of experience, does that translate into coaching? Well not always and if the rumours are true about him doing coaching already then well out league position tells you everything you need to know about how effective he is in that position. 5 weeks of training for all the non international players, 5 weeks to implement something approaching cohesion and togetherness. Hopefully does the treat and we can get off the foot of the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
