The brothers don't like chopping and changing but they are driven by data and the data does not look good. In a very weak League 2, we failed to achieve the goal of automatic promotion and limped into the playoffs with fans not happy with performances. How many shots on target did we have yesterday? When was our first shot on target? This isn't a unique event either, this will be his undoing
Funnily enough, we had as many shots on target as Doncaster (4 each) and more shots in total (11 to their 10). But the most damning stat (I wouldn’t say the scoreline, because 2-1 massively flattered us) was in big chances created - 5 for them; just 1 for us. We’re just not creating much - 1 big chance against Cheltenham (with the goal coming from a defensive blunder) and 1 big chance against Salford. We’re slow, predictable and far too static.

The gulf that was there against Salford was even more pronounced against Doncaster. In short, they did everything as a team; we did everything as individuals. They looked well drilled; we looked like a bunch of ringers. It’s impossible to see how we can turn this around next week, because the underlying data sucks.
