Jephcott's form

[philevs]

I got snapped back at last week for suggesting rotation and different striker combinations, "we wouldn't have dropped Mariner or Rafferty" was the argument.

It's a squad game now though, and our fresh legs yesterday created the momentum to win us the game.

Good call.

It just goes to show you do not need a 15-20 goal a season forward to score goals, when was the last time we scored 4 as a team without any of the strikers scoring?

Saturday against Lincoln was the last time.. :lol:

 

[Keith Hennessey]

With 9 games in 29 days expect some rotation, not rocket science is it.

Imo the Hardie/Ennis partnership was ineffectual against Lincoln. They seems to have no chemistry together. I’d hope we are starting Hardie and Jephcott together against Lincoln after Luke’s little rest.

I remember posting on here a while back that as a team we score more goals-per-game without Jephcott than we do with. I have no idea if that still stacks up but it's certainly eye-opening that we didn't have any issues scoring on Saturday.

Not that I'm advocating him being dropped. I wanted him to start on Saturday and thought he would.

To me the Hardie/Jephcott partnership isn’t purely about goals it’s about results. I did some research a while back and worked out that when we’ve started with Hardie and Jephcott we average 1.71 points per game. This is playoff form if played over a whole season equating to a total points of approx 79. They don’t just score (which they do well - in the 17 starts they had they scored 16 goals between them) but they also are our best front line for pressing the opposition which is what works well in Lowes system.

I’m hoping that all 3 strikers are fully fit and not jaded but Jephcott must start for me.

Not arguing with any of your points made, but stats can be used to "prove" anything. For example, when Jephcott/Ennis has been the starting combination, we've taken 7 points from 4 games (1.75/game), and Hardie/Ennis have only started together the once - 3pts per game! Much smaller samples of course, but equally have had less time to build a partnership.

RL appears to be reluctant to change a side that hasn't been beaten, as shown by Byron Moore's extended run in the team until the Peterborough game. I expect NE and RH to start again tomorrow.

Exactly. You can't manage a team by stats or we could all do it from our armchairs. During the 6 game losing run Nouble was playing a lot which is why the stats look so good for all the other strikers whoever plays including Ennis. There is no argument to drop him apart from rotation.

If we were offered a couple of million in the Summer for Jephcott, I'd bite that clubs hand off and use that money to invest in the wider team.

Me too Cobi. It would cover4 or 5 players on 4k a week for 2 years

Which we won't. I was questioned o here when I said he wouldn't get 25 goals this season a few weeks back.
