What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Creating like a side further up the table
7th in the division for big chances created more than 8 of the 14 sides above them.
11
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 13% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.87
goals per expected
Defence
Leaking goals
11 conceded in 5, 2.20 a game. No attack fixes that on its own.
11
conceded
Defence
They win the ball back
1st in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.
