These analyses were made: firstly on the number of goals and assists individual players had in the league this season; and secondly on how well the team performed depending on who was in the starting line-up (league matches only).

Camara was top goalscorer with 7, and he was also directly involved in the most goals with 6 assists. Kennedy had the most assists with 8. The team performed best when Okoronkwo was in the starting line up, averaging 1.3 points per game, conceding an average of 1.5 goals and scoring an average of 1.8.

Camara's brilliant goalscoring run towards the end of the season was in stark contrast to the first three quarters of the season. Camara also had 6 assists meaning that he was directly involved in 13 goals, more than any other Wolves' player.

Kennedy had the most assists (8) and like Camara these were mostly towards the end of the season. The difference between the last 7 or 8 games of the season and the matches before this is something that is quite stark throughout this analysis. However, Wolves had similar runs to their end of season high on two earlier occassions.

Rae was directly involved in 8 goals (5 goals, 3 assists), Cort in 7 (5 goals, 2 assists), and Cameron 6 (4 goals, 2 assists). Iversen got 4 goals (making him joint 4th highest scorer), but was not credited with any assists.

Ganea (3 goals) and Miller (2 goals, 1 assist) were perhaps surprisingly only directly involved in 3 goals - which is the same as Irwin (3 assists), Ince (2 goals, 1 assist) and Blake (1 goal, 2 assists).

This analysis looks at how well (or otherwise) Wolves have performed when each player was in the starting line up (league only). It looks at how many points were gained per game, the average number of goals scored, and the average number conceded. Players who have started less than 5 matches are not included and substitutions are ignored. Only league matches were analysed

Perhaps surprisingly, Okoronkwo is our best player in terms of this analysis. This makes the decision to release him particularly strange. Since Okoronkwo's belated introduction into the team Wolves won 2, drew 3 and lost 2. This means that with Okoronkwo we earned an average of 1.3 points per game, without him we earned 0.8. Second best player, in terms of this analysis, was a tie between Miller and Clyde. While they were in the starting line up we gained an average of 1.2 points per game.

The relatively high rating for Okoronkwo may be related to other factors within the team at the time - such as Kennedy's return to form, Camara finally being played up front or Newton's return to the right wing.

Oddly, Wolves lost every league game that Ganea started (but only lost two of the 10 games where he came on as a sub). Maybe a case of lies, damn lies and statistics?

Wolves conceded an average of 2.0 goals per league game during all matches. With our most effective defender, Okoronkwo, in the team we conceded an average of 1.5. Without Okonronkwo we conceded an average of 2.1 goals per game.

With Okoronkwo in the team we scored on average 1.8 goals per league game, compared to 0.9 without him. Overall we scored 1.0 goals per game.

Our most effective striker in terms of how many goals the team scored was Cort - when he was in the team we scored 1.3 goals per game. This compares to an overall average of 0.8 goals when Blake was in the team. However both Cort and Okoronkwo were not involved in our bad start to the season, and this will undoubtedly have improved their rating. The questions, though, if they would have been in the team could they have improved the results?
