Most Key Passes in LEAGUE TWO this season (defined as a pass to a teammate in a goal scoring position or that cuts off three players in the attacking phase).

9 - Paul Green
7 - Tommy Lowery
7 - James Brophy
7 - Nicky Law
7 - Nathan Thomas
6 - Jevani Brown
6 - Richie Towell
6 - Ryan Jackson

He is terrible inconsistent, but from the games I have seen, he has been one of our best players so far.

Can’t argue with that. Gets into fantastic positions and dribbles past people for fun. Shame his final ball isn’t great.

Of course he has been one of our best players this season, despite inconsistency. But who in our squad has been consistent. I struggle to think of anyone. But he has his band of people who dig him out all the time, the "no end product" stuff. Cant defend mind, but its not his fault he is asked to do the job because we have no one else ready.

Would this count as 'end product' which many boarders keep spouting off about that lacks

Great player. Should be played further forward and allowed to attack. He’s sacrificing his career due to Martin Ling’s ineptitude.

My guess, it does. Though what exactly constitutes a scoring position I don’t know. Of course stats like this are very subjective but so long as it is consistent across all players in League 2 the table is fair.

But who the hack puts tables like this together.

I still wish he'd be a bit more confident in his abilities around and in the box and try a shot instead of mostly seeming to look for that one extra pass to Angol or Wilkinson.

There are some people in this world who just love statistics and collating and publishing them. Oh well, everyone to their own. ;)

He’s one of our few game changers. Needs to be given the the wide forward role and others should feed off his dangerous runs.
At the moment he’s under utilised.

Tell me a game he's changed. I'm struggling to think of one myself.

This sounds like a stat clutching at straws. So it's not counting goals, nor assists just clips for the highlights reel :?

What next, Alabi top of the "nearly scored" charts :lol:

If he could get some coaching from Alan Comfort it might give him the confidence to have a dig at goal more often.

Better have him train one on one with McAnuff in how to pick out a final ball. Jobi's calm head when he gets into the final third is what sets him apart quality wise.

Orient twitter gave it to Brophy and made mention of ''King Harrold'' ( my nickname for Matt ! ) being involved !
