He should have been in the squad instead of the utterly useless Tom Lawrence.

Then we would have to leave out one of the changes listed so in your opinion who?

Put in Fernandes in place of Clinton as we need to see if he can play at this level before buying him.

Leave in Cortes just to send a message to Lawrence that he should never have been brought to our great club having bolted from a crime scene .

I’d have preferred Rice or McCausland to get a place rather than Lawrence.

They get a place on the B list as they are home-grown, so they can play.

I scrapped more data. This is only from our European games.

 

It compares progressive carries (where a player dribbles forward for more than 10 yards) with progressive passes (passes that move the ball forwards more than 10 yards).

 

Bajrami stands out: highest in ProgP and second highest in ProgC metrics. 

 

Bajrami, Diomande and Tavernier highest at passing the ball forward. 

 

Bajrami, Cerny and Jefte highest at carrying the ball.

That's interesting, Rosseau, thanks. Bajrami is one of those payers where the stats seem much better than what I witnessed. Jefte gets the ball up the park, then stops and passes it back or sideways, my eyes were accurate on that at least. It also shows how important a player Cerny is at that level, if we didn't know that already.

To be fair, it doesn't show what happens next. Bajrami's goal involvement is quite low. 

 

It could be those carries and passes are the step before the goal involvement, in which case he's useful, or he's not making the correct decisions when he gets forward.

 

I think I lean towards the latter at the moment.

Yes and it also shows how misleading those stats are ref. Dessers - where would we be without his goals?
