Winter 2013/14 Thread

Love the stats the league position graph is awesome shows the consistency

Class job on tracking and presenting all the stats Des. They make for some impressive reading. I'm confident we wouldn't have lost either of the 2 dead-rubber games had there been anything really at stake for us in either of those games. When you take those out of the equation, the Win-rate looks even more impressive. Remarkable consistency in terms of results, even when not playing to our best, that was the difference with previous seasons.

Only conceding 18 goals is excellent, definitely think best defence and goalkeeper awards are deserved. Derek's 15 goals is even more impressive when you see it was achieved in only 12 games: 1.25 goals per game ratio, quality.

The main area for improvement the results highlight is the need to spread the burden on goal-scoring: Derek & Dave contributed 81% of the goals scored and were the only 2 to score more than 2 goals. Midfield were excellent this season and the key to getting on top in many games, but we always need to focus on what can be improved, so a takeaway is we need central-midfielders getting to each of the box for cutbacks to grab a few goals, and get wingers on the scoreboard more too.

Anyway, has been a pleasure lads and I'm looking forward to celebrating it at the awards night and buying Des a pint in thanks for his continued dedication to the team.

a quick look through the other leagues around us shows only 2 teams out of 60, have conceded less goals than us (1 & 2 less) and they actually have a game still to play.

even in the top leagues where offsides and sliding tackles are played theres only a couple of teams who have conceded less.

at the moment, our points total of 43 is the highest of any team in all 8 leagues. Dereks tally of 15 goals makes him the joint 3rd top scorer in the entire 8 leagues.
