Another thing I didn’t get about yesterday.

I can only assume that he has been
outstanding on the training pitch!

Wintle played 26 1 goal and 1 booking
The stats are he offers nothing going forward and he offers nothing defensively.
Should never be in the team.

Doesn’t he have any assists?

To be fair we have been pretty decent at set pieces.

4 assists, including the corner for Ng's winner in our previous league game. Also; the corner for McGuinness's winner at Sunderland, the cross for Ugbo's winner at Preston and the cross for Grant's goal against Coventry.

Yeah I thought it was him for Ugbo v Preston.

Oddly enough, Wintle's five assists from open play for us have been virtually identical. Second half crosses from a similar position headed in by Watters, Kaba(2), Grant and Ugbo. Him and Ng looked to be making an effort to get into that area to get crosses in but sides seem to be covering that flank more now late on since Tanner's heroics earlier in the season.

A free kick and two corners make up Wintle's assists here, headed in by O'Dowda, McGuinness and Ng. 8 assists in 94 league appearances for us don't exactly make him de Bruyne, of course, (although it compares favourably with Colwill's 2 in 80 with Colwill 6-3 up in goals) and he's not having the best of seasons but I don't see him as the waste of space that a couple on here are suggesting.
