    You can get the odd person who swears by stats and would say based on such we are Barcelona 😭

    You are right though - your mince pies will tell you our midfield is slower than a horse and cart and the defence has more holes than the Titanic! Not forgetting our missed chances up front mean we could not score in a whore house 😂😂😂

    Totally agree Ketts. Statistics are meaningless. You judge a goalkeeper, or any other player for that matter, on what you see. End of!

    Totally agree LB. Look at Grant - on the positive he does loads of running but his end product is poor. Heggebo chases every ball and gets in a few good headers but his speed of thought with feet is slow - look at that chance against Boro where it should have been bang but always a few seconds too slow, It?s called quality or talent which we lack!

    Judging by these stats, it seems that he will come for crosses into the box which has been a weakness of our goalkeepers for quite a few seasons now.

    I like Griffiths. I think there is a decent keeper in there. But you cant deny youre expecting every shot to go in.

    He has no competition either. Wildsmith isnt good enough to keep him on his toes.

    I dont know if O?Leary is the answer. I imagine he is better than Wildsmith though.
