If if we can all see we've too many midfielders and not enough strikers why can't BG see it? Just look at the players he signed when the last window was closing, Oztumer to sit on the bench shortly after he'd already signed McCormick and yet another LWB when we already had 3, two of which he signed/offered a new contract to in the summer. Starnes excuse for not spending JCH's transfer money was that we would only receive it in two installments but if we pay a transfer fee for a striker I assume that would also be paid in installments. Don’t forget Ben Liddle (where is he?!). I’m not sure I understand our transfer policy, so I will leave that for others to deduce. All I’ll say is that it’s worrying that some posters seem to think Ayunga coming back is particularly important, because considering we signed him from the tier below the conference that says it all about our striking options when a lad from that tier of football is considered integral to solve our goals problem.

If you are referring to my post about Ayunga, again, I will state that I am interested to see him and Hanlan in the same team. I never suggested he was inegral to solve our goals problem Edit: I just reviewed the Walsall game and he had 6 shots including the goal in that match (albeit league 2 opposition) so maybe he will increase our shots on goal at least. Side note also in that match Hargreaves had 3 shots and Mehew 2 including a goal.

I'm still backing the manager and team. I know it's turned into a bit of a joke but 10 game chunks is probably a good way of judging this season. It's plain to see how fickle we all are after any sequence of back to back results. 10 games takes us up to new years and whether you're bitter about it or not, BG ain't going anywhere before then. The flashes of good play (mainly in the first 10mins of each half) are enough to keep me believing the right things are progressing. Obviously putting the ball in the net is our weakness at the moment. I would be interested to see how our xG compares to previous seasons as we haven't been scintillating for a few years now. My feeling towards this time last season is JCH created a lot for himself so I don't think we've gone backwards as a team in that department. Anyway, looking forward to alternate waves of whinging and winning over the next two months. UT(B)G Forget xG over the 24 games BG's been in charge only Shrewsbury have picked up less pts in L1, P'boro have picked up over double our return but when GC left they were below us in the form tables. www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:league-one/daterange/fromdate:2019-Dec-24/todate:2020-Nov-05/type:home-and-away/If it wasn't for Shrewsbury we would also be bottom of the home form table this season. www.twtd.co.uk/league-tables/competition:league-one/form/matches:6/type:home/I don't think there is much point quoting a post if you're going to talk about something different.
If we're going to be selective we're 8th in the away form table. And the only teams that have picked up less points than us this season are Rochdale, Northampton, Crewe, MK Dons, Swindon, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Burton, Wigan.
Isn't it fun digging around for the evidence that only proves exactly what you thought all along.

Anyway, looking forward to alternate waves of whinging and winning over the next two months. UT(B)G JCH was out injured for two months last season whilst we were on our winning run, we scored quite a few goals in that time so our expected goals would have been high even without him. A facet of GC’s approach seemed to be getting shots off, is it any surprised that our xG is low because we hardly ever shoot from distance? We can all hazard a guess as to why that might be but it would certainly play into the Garnerball stereotype that our focus is on passing ourselves to death and walking the ball into the net rather than have a speculative effort that might test the keeper or win a corner. It’s no surprise that that same observation of walking the ball into the net was made by a number of posters during the Peterborough game so there does seem to be some basis to that being the reason our xG is so low. Put simply, it’s one of the most fundamental rules of football: you don’t shoot you don’t score. I still wonder about the xG because it is possible to score many more than you're expected to. And there were some spectacular JCH goals that would have low xG. I can remember a few Upson/Clarke strikes that were low probablity finishes too. I dunno, without actually looking it up we will all have our own opinions that won't change. If I get the chance this afternoon I'll have a look.
I am in complete agreement with you that actual shots on target are too low. I'm hoping we've started to see Westbrooke looking more of a threat in the last 2 games in that he is more willing to get forward and take a punt but we'll see. I've said it before that we need a threat behind Hanlon: someone who can take those shots on when there's space. I do think we're getting further forward than we were in September but there isn't the cutting edge when we're in the final third.

Interestingly the 3-4 win away at Shrewsbury was...
13 Shots 6 on Target 3 off Target 4 Blocked
We played a 3 4 2 1 formation
we had 47% possession
Most Shots for BRFC: Kilgour 2 Upson 2 Ogogo 2 Sercombe 2
Little / Craig / Leahy / Clarke / Adeboyejo had 1 each

Going on about the away form comparing it 2 the home form anyone seen Preston record lost every home match this season but the away form is superb I guarantee if we had crowds at the mem r home form would look vastly different

Problem is it's rare for a team to avoid relegation just on decent away form, if BG can't sort out the home form we're going to be sucked into a relegation battle.
