Mr Farrell Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Before the game most people - me included - were worried about the potency of Fulham's attack, and particularly worried about our exposure down flanks. Fulham barely had a chance all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheowls Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Anyone who gets 56% pass accuracy should not be getting man of the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wall Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thought he did ok, but he doesn't fill me with confidence. Nowhere near MOM for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 His positional sense is that of a 5 year old child playing his first match . He’s nippy though which means he gets away with it more often than not . Last two performances have improved . He’s okay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Blue Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 9 hours ago, Shetland Owl said: Statistics website Whoscored had mixed player ratings after the performance, but they gave their star man award to 26-year-old Moses Odubajo for his overall performance in the game. What I find even more surprising is that his stats have continued to update since the game finished. Perhaps he's forgotten to take his GPS tracking vest off.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I suppose it goes to show how statistics and algorithms can only go so far in terms of judging a game of football. Odubajo was solid on Saturday, but he wasn't our best player. There were a couple of times where he went walkabout from his right-back slot, leaving a gaping gap where he should have been. Plenty of fans around me noticed, but the numbers won't show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Slightly worrying that you get MoM when you can only complete half of your passes accurately. Edited September 23, 2019 by GMOwl72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right about your maths not been great.....44% of 25 is 11....and that includes passes that went out of play as well as those that went to Fulham players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 We needed pace and athleticism in the team. Obubajo and Iorfa can supply some of it and both had decent games Saturday. Let’s hope they continue to get better, the team will be better for it. Thought it was best game he has had for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Turns his back on the ball too often for me which is criminal for a defender at this level. Got away with it on Saturday but it has cost him/us already this season. Getting better though and in general he's been good the last couple of games. Saturday was his best for us so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
