That's pretty good detail, fair play :smile: I am frankly amazed that Elphick is on more than Upson but there you go.

Thanks for that. All any football supporter wants is a manager who learns and makes improvements to the team as the season progresses, it's that momentum gives the hope that fans thrive on, regardless of bad starts and dodgy patches. Jury is out on whether Oscar is doing that for us.
