Interesting Thoughts

Well we have been somewhat underwhelming so far. This has obviously led to a number of stories circulating (already mainly debunked ) and comments after the Chippenham game that we should have signed the sort of front players that they have available.

The interesting fact is that after 3 games we have scored the same number of goals as Chippenham and Dave Pratt, for all his qualities, has scored the same number of goals as Ryan Case and one less than Andy Watkins. Whilst we have scored in each game Chippenham have only scored in the one.

None of this does anything other than add a bit of perspective to the season to date and confirm that our defence is the problem.

It's the highest number of goals we've scored in our opening three games since 2012, when we hit six.

Only difference is we conceded eight fewer...

Eight more?

We conceded eight fewer in 2012.

Ah, I see. Beg your pardon.

Aren't statistics wonderful. I'm feeling better already. Add the two more last night and the three precious points and I see we are just behind Chipnumb now. Who would have thought that after Tuesday night's drubbing. Not that our shortcomings have been swept away by all these numbers, but it does help the mood.
