Very Good Positioning in The Actim Index

Ten Players in the top 100, two in the top 7.

05 508 Alex Pearce
07 501 Adam Federici

24 441 Jobi McAnuff
36 414 Jem Karacan

51 389 Kaspars Gorkss
59 373 Mikele Leigertwood
60 372 Jimmy Kebe
64 369 Noel Hunt
85 344 Ian Harte
95 336 Shaun Cummings

Particularly pleased for Shaun Cummings, great to see the boy come through
and this points total has come in 2/3 of the games, so he might well have been
50% higher had he played every game, putting him up to 508 points!!!

Hard for our strikers to feature because they are having
their starts shared out. Out of 39...

27 (8) Noel Hunt
18 (11) Simon Church
16 (11) Adam Le Fondre
11 (00) Jason Roberts
04 (11) Mathieu Manset
01 (00) Benik Afobe
01 (00) Shane Long

But the thing is that Pearce and everyone else was positioned as if it were the corner. If it had been just a one-two then a cross, the players would have been positioned the same, and they were even after McAnuff finally delivered the ball.

And as I said, most of the players were still in the box from the corner for Harte's goal (including him, obviously) - the only way he'd have been in that position would be if he was delivering a corner. For another example I included Leigertwood against Southampton after McAnuff hit the post because the set-piece "phase" hadn't finished. I think as long as the pressure hadn't been cleared you could make a case for the set-piece directly affecting the goal.

And as you said, it's subjective!

'greed

It's a grey area though and open to interpretation. For the purposes of your little stat it works well enough though.

Surprised to see how few West Ham players are in the Actim Top 100
unless it's cos Big Sam keeps changing the team

Right now RFC are virtually 6/1 on Betfair (59/10)

IF they lose today at Blackpool and we win there we'd be a point clear.

Not likely, but 6-1 is decent odds

Quite simply, results-wise, we are playing like champions

OS

McDermott's approach has made the Royals the best team in the League since the first six fixtures of the season,
and in assessing another amazing win - West Ham's first defeat in eleven games - he said, "I thought we showed
real belief, quality and resilience.

Friday's game is massive.

Win and we put pressure on Soton ahead of their derby with Pompey by going top.

Lose or draw and we could be 3rd by the time we play again.

Snowball can you please just calm my nerves and somehow use stats to say we're not going to screw this up
