What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
The chances are not being made
13th of 18 for big chances created, and it shows in the goals. The problem is making them, not taking them.
7
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 16% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.84
goals per expected
Defence
Leaking goals
9 conceded in 4, 2.25 a game. No attack fixes that on its own.
