Think you've got your order wrong for the Wonders last matches. I thought furthest to right would be most recent.

Should be a shoot-out. We haven't been overly high scoring so far this year but with Loopy and HP straightening us up we'll be very effective going Inside 50.

Keep our top spot chances alive with another big win here.
Adding Kerrby back to our already dominant team will make us even more powerful.
Good to get MOTR again, but it will prove to be a 1-sided affair and be all but over at half time.

Yep, our revamped forward line will definitely get us over the line.

Though I am worried about Kerrbs since he's the best the Wonders have got. Might need a hard tag.

perhaps GS is the man, did the job in the Granny last year. I'd like to see Sausageroll and Rick18 go head to head.

Ah indeed I have. All fixed.



I'm sorry. Who?

All SFA last season.
So far this season you average about 3 possies more per game but he kicks it 62% of the time compared to you at 48% so he's clearly the more damaging player, doesn't worry about racking up cheap '1-2' stats.

Who said handballs aren't damaging?

By the way, it doesn't matter if he kicks the ball more against anyone else, because when he comes up against me, he will get tackled before he gets a clean possession away.

Fact.

meh, I read through your game, it's filled with ineffective short kick turnovers and coughing up handballs. Your handball receive numbers are high, however, I think we might just let you get the ball with the above being true.

SR also kicks 2 goals + per game.

Sausageroll > Rick.

Bzzt. Wrong. (on both counts)

9 goals in 6 matches does not equal 2+ a match.

For someone who likes to have a go at people for not calculating percentages, you might want to brush up on your own basic maths skills.

So you're willing to concede a draw? Risky business considering we've got the form ruckman of the competition and a better FF than the opposite number.

Of course then you have the rest of our A-grade midfield to contend with as well...

No, we'll just let you cough it up to SR

Point taken, Efl on the improve though

a better FF than the opposite number.
Bad call! Hawk Patrol is the number #1 FF in the SFA at the moment. Croweater has been down compared to late last year.

Who? You and Kerrbs? All your 'S''s are overrated hacks and lets be honest, Mop really was just the 3rd piece to the HP/Boncer trade, he's failed to produce so far (bar that awsome 5 goal game IIRC:D).

So I cough it up to SR, then I tackle him. Round and round we go :p

Fair point on HP, but CE is extremely important to our structure. If he's involved in the play - whether that's kicking goals or otherwise - we'll win.

We're 4-1 without Kerrby so I think we're doing alright without him. Do remember that I'm playing Scotty off the bench and I do believe Shallow kept HP touchless in an outing last season, so there's versatility there if I need it. Snag is averaging almost 20 touches a game through the centre, so how that's overrated I have no idea.

we've got ant and mav off the bench too.
and seriously stop using irrefutable statistics to beat me, it ruins the argument.
