Kevin Long

[jtv]

Hi, do any stattos out there have the following stats for the Mee/Long and Tarkowski/Long partnerships please:

- number of games played together
- average points per game won
- average goals per game conceded

?

[dibraidio]

I looked at this recently but then my pc decided it needed to reboot and closed the excel I'd been playing with when I was supposed to be listening to a meeting. :-/ If memory serves me right Tarks and Mee have a clean sheet percentage that's around 38%. Tarks and Long and Long and Mee are both closer to 33%. I was going to post it on the Ben Mee is worth 4 points thread because actually, when Tarks and Mee aren't together Ben doesn't fare any better than Tarks when playing alongside Long.

Things appear to be less solid when Kev plays but the truth is you're looking at a much smaller sample of games so just one clean sheet could make all the difference.

How did he fare playing alongside John Pender - he must have been with us at the same time

Nobody could wear a headband with the same authority as JP

In fact, if John Pender is still available can he play wide right

[cricketfieldclarets]

What about stats for goals scored with long up top.

[ClaretTony]

In fact, if John Pender is still available can he play wide right

Have you seen John Pender now? He must be 20st plus.

Have you seen John Pender now? He must be 20st plus.

Then he'll fill a gap in the back 4.

Wow. Steve Davis used to call him square head. He may need to review his choice of nickname after seeing that photo.....

Thanks CT. Very comprehensive

I'd still pick Pender over Long.

I'd still pick Pender over Long.

And as another ex player who has moved into the field of bus driving, he could drive the team bus home after an away game

[Longsidelenny1882]

Penderthedefender might have been better of wearing his glasses when he played for the clarets utc

[jojomk1]

And as another ex player who has moved into the field of bus driving, he could drive the team bus home after an away game

He should certainly be called upon to park the bus

in front of our goal every time we go to the Ethiad
