Unfortunately to many analysis and stats are only of interest if it tells them what they want to hear. If not then if it were 200 years ago the mess anger would be drowned or burned!

There are other stats along these line that show Bucko is out best player. It's interesting to see how many still won't accept that but the few that have spotted it without.

McClaren was one of the first to use it, but Jim Smith was the one who brought it in.

I would say Bryson and Martin have been our best players due to their affect on results, but yes Jake has been superb this season.

He has been very good from what ive seen, however seeing him marking Eto'o did make me chuckle.eto'o didn't get a sniff though.
