I know he saved them two pens against the mackems. Sure I read on here that he's only faced about 20 (?) shots or something similarly tiny?? Would suggest the defence in front of him are the key. FWIW I trust the process 😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Every time we criticise a signing or a potential signing - Howe and co makes us eat humble pie. Obviously there being 1 or 2 exceptions. If they want Trafford - so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 fbref do Champo stats. They reckon Trafford has saved 10 goals based on the quality of the shots he's faced. The stat is called "post-shot xG - GA". https://fbref.com/en/comps/10/Championship-Stats#all_leaders While this stat is based on actual shots, actual shots in the Prem will be hit with more venom. Bournemouth's keepers, Kepa and the backup, lead this stat in the Prem. Average distance from goal from shots taken against Burnley is 17.1, which is fairly average.

Tonalis Bookie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 What is also important to note is how well he could be organising that defence, something you would only know by being there. It may be a case that the defence and team as a whole is incredibly well drilled but what if that is down to the shouts coming from behind them. Teams tend to be much more solid when the defenders know they can rely on the goalkeeper and there is tremendous communication. This could be a key asset that isnt shown in any stats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to consult stats rather than watch their matches A goalie who does let anything in will also make the games even more dour.

La Parka Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If we go for Trafford can we get Eagan Riley whilst we are at it? Ball playing cb. Ex man city. Loves a diag. Youngish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Would say if wanting a young CB that's got growth, then get Bashir Humphreys. Chelsea will be using the loan as a chance to get a good fee for a HG talent again, and he's got the attributes you want in a modern day CB, even if he's not primarily playing there for Burnley this season.

joeyt Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Been saying for a while that Burnley getting promoted will impact this deal, whether they just don't want to sell or raise the price If his contract is until 2027 they don't have to sell this summer. Unless they're financially fucked like Leicester and Sheff Utd when getting promoted, I can't see them selling their best player for anywhere near the £20mil that's been rumoured previously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
