If I can be bothered, I'll repeat at the end of the season to show current player progress & new player impact.

Thanks for posting. Very interesting.

I’ll pick up on a few things from there.

Many people have said they don’t know what Grant offers and I’ve said all season he’s one of our most important players. This shows that he is high on the list in many of those categories. Proving he is a crucial player.

No surprise to see Joe Ralls, Dimitrios Goutas and Perry Ng performing well on there. Three players who can be relied upon.

Our only out and out striker who has four goals is Ugbo, who offers very little else. Three of those goals came in the first four games of the season as well.

That clearly highlights why we need to sign a striker this window. Good chances are being created by Wintle, Ralls and Grant as this list shows - now we need a striker to be able to take those chances.

Agreed. Wintles stats surprised me, but I think he's playing far better recently.

NG is our most important player, is my take from it.

Yes, we are screaming out for a goalscorer!

I know I'm missing something & this is probably a stupid question but if Ramsey has 3 goals & played 6 games how is he not even in the list for goals per 90 minutes played when he should be top with around 0.50 ?

I think we all know that we don’t create enough chances and our strikers don’t score enough(these stats go hand in hand)

However, without needing stats we definitely need a goalscorer and a creative midfielder. Get these in and we might reach the playoffs

Well spotted. You are correct, he's played 6, scored 3 so 0.5 so should be #1. Must be a glitch?

I generally do believe our most important signing will be a goal scoring striker to get us top 6 (MOORE)
Need a 1st team quality striker and winger and back up cms, cb and lb
Need to shift sawyers and rino firstly to get rid of wages or even transfer fees.
Would keep Adams as haven't been given a chance yet but mainly as cover.

Shows how important Ramsey actually is to us. Also Collins stats are better than ithought. Hopefully he can recover some of that early form. Defo needs week off this week against Wednesday to help recuperate a bit.

Good stats.

Re:Rambo, the criteria is for 90 mins. This makes his return even more impressive, minus limited game time. He’s the key player here.
