If it was just xG, then yes. It clearly is not. Under Potter we were not getting the kind of through balls and progressive passing we are seeing in every game we have played this season. I see a world of change from last year to what we are seeing in these early games. We definitely need better finishing. There is night and day differences in attack from Potter to this team.

I have stayed away so people can vent, I am just not the kind of person that needs to. I am a real optimist, borderline irritating. We are going to have growing pains. I really think this group will come good.

At least the fishing has been good today

It took real talent to miss that goal.

They are waiting until after the International break. If we played him before the break, he would have been called up.

With our injury history, he might get some minutes. It probably will not be because we are 4-0

They could be maneuvering for an escape clause in case Burnley go down or something else they want.

He was offered a contract but he wanted first team minutes. You can't make everyone happy with a back up role.

I have to tell you, this relaxed feeling on deadline day is really nice.

I think the current tally is 46 players out and 17 players in this window. The recruiting and player sales department are earning their money this month.
