Interesting how much our shots on and off target has been improving as the season goes on (early doors, it was woeful) and also didn't expect Ekpiteta to be in our Top 3 but going about his job in a well organised and professional way - well done lad.
 
Biggest and most concerning stat for me is that in 12 league games we've managed just twelve goals. That's the stat that has to rapidly improve. Since the change in formation we've started to create clearer chances but we are simply not clinical enough in front of goal. Failure to take chances can turn victories into draws as could have been the case yesterday.
 
Yesterday was easily our best performance of the season and reminded me of the Eastbourne game...we were that far in front of Peterboro but needed the second goal...great team performance and great win...what it does show me is that good stats dont guarantee wins...look at the Plymouth stats and look at the Peterboro stats and tell me which was the better performance and result

In every single game we have missed some absolute sitters, on the positive side we are missing even more now than at the beginning of the season. If we go on in the same vein there is going to be a game where some poor b*ggers are really put to the sword.
 
Passing stats look a bit off. How can we have more accurate passes than the total number of passes? Also was their passing accuracy really that bad? Not a good reflection on them. Great to see we have cut down on the (rather useless practice) of over passing in our own half. We are hurting teams in more dangerous areas now and it’s yielding goals and results.

Posh had 424 accurate passes. Typo above.👍

Cheers and well spotted. I've amended the figures. 👍

Edited. Also well spotted. 👍
 
Clinical strikers cost tons of money unless your lucky enough to stumble accross one or you manage to coach what you have to be better. I imagine this will be one of NC big challenges with JY.
 
Kaikai may have missed two that he should have put away yesterday but at least he was in the right place/right time. He will now be trained to put those away.

Taking the stats as they are, interesting we seemed to have far fewer shots that in the last few games. Goes to show there are other ways to win a game. The one stat that must be wrong is the possession. We had so much of the ball especially after our goal.

It's odd that the MOM didn't have a save to make. He did play well though.

Which team is which? Cod’s had most possession. We had two shots on target??

To be fair, I thought their back 4 and keeper passed it between them for ages to no great effect.

Sorry Hazi. Our stats are always first. Mis-typed the shots on target and have edited this now. I was still giddy when I was posting. 😆

Ok, say we had four there or thereabouts on target...it is still a systemic issue when we need at least 6 chances to be sure of scoring one with the current setup.

We hit the ** woodwork twice! That's off target in the stats. Your analysis is simplistic in the extreme, trying to make out we are better when you think we do things that you think are right. Our performances haven't varied much all season, and most of the results have been one goal either way. Which is down to chance as much as anything. Results improved when we tightened up at the back. The front 2 front 3 thing has affected things very little if at all.
 
League results with 442 versus league results with 433 suggest you are incorrect. It’s just chance is one of the weakest revisionist posts I’ve read in a good long while.

I think if you didn't know the score and looked at those stats, I would guess at a tight 0-0.
Could be the first century of long balls.
 
The fact our goalkeeper and defenders were our Top 3 players against a side in the Bottom Four doesn't make for good reading!

Were they though? CJ had a very good game. As did Ward. Those ratings are consistently baffling.

Maxwell only got his 8 for his 10 second 100 and odd yard dash to join in the celebration.
