Interesting stats regarding Howson and Ryan Bennett.

They are the two players that I would nominate as Paul Lambert's worst signings for us. Many people on here claimed that we would have struggled under Lambert this season because of that late poor run last season. That was when Howson and Bennett started playing games for us. Have a look at this statistical breakdown (or don't):

Howson's league starts for NCFC:

Wins- 4 (20%)
Draws- 5 (25%)
Losses- 12 (60%)

Ryan Bennett's league starts for NCFC:

Wins- 3 (23.077%)
Draws-3 (23.077%)
Losses- 7 (53.846%)

Our record premier league record pre Howson and Bennett:

Wins-9 (34.6%)
Draws-8 (30.8%)
Losses-9 (34.6%)

Our premier league record since Howson and Bennett started games:
Wins-9 (26%)
Draws-11 (31%)
Losses-15 (42%)

Our premier league record under Lambert and Hughton combined:

Wins-18 (28.83%)
Draws-19 (31.87%)
Losses-24 (39.3%)

    - Another Lambert signing.... (n/m) (NCFC) - promethian1, Jan 26, 19:59:13
      - Both were, just pointing out how poor they have been for us in general. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 26, 20:02:23
        
        He hasn't really persisted with either much this season (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 26, 20:06:25
        
        He has in comparison to Fox and Bennett. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 26, 20:08:28
        
        Different positions (except Fox and Howson) but true (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 26, 20:10:59
        
        Howson has played on the right for us at times. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 26, 20:13:04
        
        Its all hes got though.. (n/m) (NCFC) - promethian1, Jan 26, 20:05:14
        
        AT THE MOMENT (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 26, 20:08:04
        
        He could give Fox a REAL chance (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 26, 20:11:41
        
        I would definitely like to see more of both EB and Fox (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 26, 20:14:09
