Keith Andrews stats

[Mike Small]

When Andrew plays: P22 W5 D9 L8, win percentage: 22.7%
When he hasn't played: P14 W10 D2 L2, win percentage: 71.4%

Yes the team needs more but those stats don't lie either. CAN WE STOP PLAYING THAT SLOW JOURNEYMAN. We could at least make a fight of it with the play offs.

I was thinking the other day that I couldn't remember many good performances when Andrews plays and those stats prove it. We may as we'll send him back to Bolton now and use the wages to get a decent loan signing in before the deadline.

Interesting stats and helps confirm my belief his currently the weak link in the team although he played relatively well against Ipswich.

His a good passer but he looks two years past his sell by date, in as much as his brain knows what to do but his body namely his legs won't let him.

Why we can't play with an attacking midfielder behind Ulloa and two natural wingers is beyond me, especially at home.

 

[Skaville]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a midfield trio of Andrews, Ince and JFC is not good enough at this level

 

[Mike Small]

Exactly. He's not a bad player but they his place could be used by someone with more purpose and attacking intent. What is the point in him actually playing. So negative.

 

[Barry M]

That stat really doesn't surprise me, really dislike watching us play with him in the team.

 

[Invicta]

Interesting stat - he annoyed me most on Saturday by a longway

Ideally it should be Ince Stephens and Crofts. Shame 2 of those are currently unavailable. Crofts been the biggest miss. His goals from midfield would have had us a few more points.

Bolton wouldn't have given him on loan to us if he was that good. However, although stats say we play better without him, I don't think the blame can namely be put on him. Lots of our players have under performed this year, and to me, I have no idea how we're flirting with the play offs. I'm happy nonetheless, but we've played like a mid table team. God knows what Oscar's tactics actually are. Not criticising him though, as he has done an alright job considering the massive hangover from last season.

Spot on.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

At the game - easily his worst display - repeatedly gave the ball away, which did not help the youngsters in midfield. Lopez should have played in the centre and played the ball to feet as we had no height up front.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ideally it should be Ince Stephens and Crofts. Shame 2 of those are currently unavailable. Crofts been the biggest miss. His goals from midfield would have had us a few more points.

Have I missed something? Crofts is unavailable, but no one I speak to knows why Stephens isn't playing.

I thought he was ill tonight same virus Upson had at weekend.

I thought he was ill tonight same virus Upson had at weekend.

Ah, OK.

Doesn't explain why he is routinely not picked and Andrews is, though.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I don't even know who our most promising central midfielder in the development squad is, but I'd rather see him in the team on Saturday than Andrews.

Courtney Richards (holding) or Emil Asmundsen I guess.

 

[Boston28]

Ah, OK.

Doesn't explain why he is routinely not picked and Andrews is, though.

I may be wrong but I don't think Stephens has missed many games unless unfit, unwell or cup tied.

So true.
Ince and Andrews will never have instinctive first time passing/creativity in their game. JFC has that way ahead of those 2, but is too young and inexperienced to fulfil that role. Hence the lack of goals and attacking in the team.
