Our top assists this season:
Wilson - 14
Ojo - 7
Ralls - 6
Murphy - 4
Pack, Vaulks - 3
Bennett, Hoilett, Ng, Morrison - 2
Which begs the question on Saturday why McCarthy went with an attacking midfield duo that have 1 assist for us between them?

Ah but you see, Bacuna gets lots of assists in training which is what really matters
Where are you getting those numbers from? none of my usual sources (fbref, whoscored, transfermarkt) seem to agree.Quote:

As much as a shit show it was. Can't Relly compare Williams as hasn't been on the pitch and bacuna who has spent most of the season at right back.Quote:

Whoscored have a tally of 9 but when you add up crosses, corners, freekicks, throughballs and other, it equals 14.Quote:

Absolutely right. Bacuna is our least effective midfielder in terms of attacking contribution.Quote:
