Statistical Assessment 2020-21

[mysteryduck]

One thing I can glean from these is that Figueiredo and Worrall seem to be our primary playmakers, surely Sabri isn't deliberately setting his team up like this?? Can someone with way more understanding of football than me please put my mind at rest

Lack of creativity in midfield plays a part. Centre backs passing to each other and the full backs because nothing else available, or to Colback and Yates who often just pass it back to them. No one in the middle dictating play.

Was great to see we potentially have a player like Arter who could do this if Lamouchi uses him properly

It's actually the worst start since 1954/55 now, or so I read yesterday.

It is the worst League start since 1954-5 when we lost the first 5 games - http://www.thecityground.com/season_details.php?season_id=1954-55

In the 1992-3 season we won the first game against Liverpool then lost the next 6 League games.

Answers on a post card please.

Sammy won shot of the month on Twitter.

Graph to show how much of a monster McKenna is. Surprised to see Worrall so low down on his aerial duels though.

I’m not. He often gets knocked about in the air. Worrall seems better at blocks , being in the right place - that sort of stuff.

Thanks for sharing

Probably did too much pointing all over the place to jump for the ball. He might be 6 "4 but doesn't dominate as such, Mckenna is 6"3 but he has such aerial presence about him.

I didn't expect him to be right at the top but I'm surprised that he's below 50%, at the same time I suppose it doesn't matter massively with McKenna being so dominant in the air.

I'm not. We've struggled for a while when the ball is in the air. Despite his strengths Worrall has been a part of that problem.

Great to see McKenna right up there. A fabulous signing.

Think Mckenna will turn out to be one of the best signing we've made in years.

Goes to show what you get when you don't just bring in cheap dross no-one else wants.

Agreed. I thought the risk factor on this was less, too, so worth spending the bit extra to get him.

No wonder we struggle to score. Our 2 most clinical previously.

Makes you wonder how different this season could have been were they as good as in previous seasons. Unfortunately in Lolley's case in particular, he looks a shadow of his former self this season.

 

[Professor Wolfgang Schnell BSc. PhD.]

As has been mention before, Grabban has not been clinical for Forest, but that looks like he's getting worse rather than better.

Here's a more promising graph showing Krovinovic's progressive passes and pass completion compared to other midfielders in the Premier League this season:

Those calculations will be interesting once that figure is square rooted by "Forestball".

Interesting stats. I have a good feeling about Krovinovic. That’ll be the kiss of death now no doubt....

Reread your LTLF user guide. You're allowed to write players off before seeing them kick a ball, but it is forbidden to write a player ON before he's even started.

It is a bit of a surprise, he's been around the 65% mark in previous seasons.

Our best XI according to the stats...


Samba

Christie
Worrall
Figueiredo
Bong or Ribeiro

[MaxiRobriguez]

Apart from having McKenna over Figgy that's probably the team I would go with.

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Didn't give Forest enough credit at weekend, thought we'd scored 8 first goals this season. It's actually 9.

Worst first half goal tallies in the four English leagues this season:

Sheff Utd 6 (PL)
FOREST 9 (Ch)
Wycombe 9 (Ch)
Newcastle 9 (PL)
Southend 10 (L2)
Luton 11 (Ch)
Stevenage 12 (L2)

Luton scored two first half goals yesterday. They're away and gone.
