"What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Taarabt was not slung out of QPR Nas it was because he was a total pain in the #### to all concerned even the season he influenced our championship winning side. The original point was stats dress up Polter to be a better player than he really is. And if you genuinely believe otherwise then not much more to say. Only Onuhua has a worst first touch than said Polter.

Look at the change to Chery, left out to hang until february, then as has been said, he put in the hours on the training pitch, came on as a sub for a few games, got a goal and got into the starting 11 and look at him now."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

But can you compare Reading Yesterday at home against Brighton away? I simply look at the technical side of it and how good is Washington? International scorer on his debut should be given a crack at our club? And if you are basing it on apperances then David Nugent must be one of the Greatest England international Goalscorers England has ever had!

If anything, your point is supporting this david nugent thing you've strangely brought up...
I can compare reading at home yesterday to Bolton Away, MK dons Away where CW started both matches and did sweet FA for 90 minutes.
Also if I'm coming across as hating CW or thinking he's cack, don't take it that way, just can't really believe some of the things I'm reading here."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

Taarabt was doing things he should not have been doing and at stupid hours of the day. He also was a young boy who was seriously misguided and is paying for it now. Chery has done ok since being brought back into the team but not sure he influences the game enough and he and polter have no understandingwhat so ever.

Taarabt was a spoiled brat who had no work ethic, no desire to be better, thinking he's already made it. He was his own worst enemy, no one else."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.

I'd gladly do it and you'll find that Taarabt with Heidar was probably the better pairing with taarabt assisting 6 helguson goals and helguson assisting 4 taarabt goals but was that ever in question? That was one of the best attacking pairings I've seen in my time as a fan of this club. You do love a random point completely unrelated to the discussion."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value.
