Exiles thread - Bristol Rovers (A)

[Bergen]

Hello from Bergen. "Only" −6° over here at the moment, but it`s getting colder. I need some cheering up.



COME ON ORIENT!!!!!!

[Monkey Boy]

Drinnan the gezza has lost it

[corkeireorient]

I doubt you will be " cheered up " tonight Bergen !

[cymruO]

Hello from S Wales. Surprised to see Drinan starting - maybe Richie's still unwell and not thinking straight. Hope he thinks straight at some point.

[DrWindy]

Reporting in from Oz. Come on Orient

[RedDwarf 1881]

Drinnan the gezza has lost it

Our problem is so has Pigott

[i8ubutler]

Evening chaps from a nice and warm Tenerife.
Tricky one tonight.
COYO's

I thought the same, I wonder if this is more a message to Piggot than it is an endorsement of Drinan.

[Bergen]

We`re playing well (apart from Brynn`s kicking).

[corkeireorient]

We`re playing well.

We know what happens next !

[Tuffers#2]

Theo is playing well so far

[Tuffers#2]

The ball never breaks for us in those little
deflected situations

[CharlieO]

Sotiriou has miscontrolled or given away possession ten times in the first 20 minutes...nailed on to score.

[RBMarshall]

Theo is playing well so far

Agree. Also a word for the Ref. Excellent so far.

[i8ubutler]

Anyone know how 'Expected Goals (xG)' works ?

[Beradogs]

Have Bristol worked out we have zero goal threat yet?

[Bergen]

James off - injured.

[ComeOnYouOs]

Sorry, I think its an awful game. Neither side seem capable of doing anything special.

[Wally Banter]

Anyone know how 'Expected Goals (xG)' works ?

Something about historical data informing how likely a player should be to score from their shooting position. Unsurprisingly, our actual goals scored is way lower than our xG.

Thats a lot to take in butler, in your current state !

[Tuffers#2]

We're very left sided in Attack.
Drinan all on his own on the right
Isn't helping

[Mistadobalina]

We've gone back to a 4-3-3 but Theo and Drinan playing as more traditional wide men, not cutting in. All still feels a bit laboured in the build up, we've once again looked pleasantly inoffensive.

Ruel has been awful as a ten.

[Wally Banter]

Both teams are crying out for a player who can make a decent through ball or cross.

Because Ruel isnt a 10. must have posted that more than ive even posted how Drinan is useless.
Ruel is a 9, he scores goals as a 9, but is hopeless as a 10
I wish RW would realise this
