Heaton - 7 - Caught out in no-mans land by the quality of Schurle's first touch for their goal, but otherwise very solid on abysmal day for goalkeeping. Bardsley - 6 - Looked to b...

Re: Charlie Taylor
I just get the feeling that he is playing at the absolute limit of his ability at the moment, and as a result is playing OK. But I'm not sure we can expect much more from him at this level. He would be a solid championship LB.

Re: How do shots on target against us compare to last year?
Using your numbers...
This season: 74 saves and 41 conceded = 64% save percentage (must be one of lowest in the league)
Last season: 122 saves and 39 conceded = 77% save percentage (one of highest in the league)
If you're gonna use stats, at least use them correctly.
