A stat to ponder

[Yorkshire Blue]

Goals conceded in 363 minutes (equivalent to just over 4 games) Moussa has played this season: two

Goals conceded in the 207 minutes (equivalent to just over 2 games) since Moussa was wrongly sent off against Brighton and then suspended: eleven.

Interesting, i thought the Moose had been fairly ineffectual but maybe he brings the best out of grant, who was excellent at Millwall IMO.

"we all dream of a team of Franck Moussas... a team of Franck Moussas, a team of Franck Moussas"

and number 1... he's Frank Moussa! etc etc

the one thing i've noticed about the moose is that he rarely gives the ball away... i think that the defence really need the pressure taken off them, and so having players like moose who are comfortable on the ball and happy spreading the play around will improve our team performance

I thought he was ineffectual as well. I suspect the reason is more down to the fact that we're now without our first three choices centre-mids from pre-season.

Losing Bailey wasn't exactly surprising as he wanted out since before the play-offs, but even putting him aside any team is going to suffer when their first choice central-midfield pairing (McCormack and Moussa) isn't available. If the reserves were as good as the first team then they'd be playing - if not here, elsewhere.
