The Fish 12573 Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 We're back baby We're creating plenty of chances, we're just not putting them away. Hopefully getting the new signings integrated will fix that. But we're not really the big story for me. That's Liverpool, Chelsea, Sunderland, Spurs and Forest. They're scoring significantly more than you'd expect from what they're creating. We're maybe over performing a bit in defence, that could be due to good performances from a good 'keeper or it could be profligacy from the opponent. But again, I don't think we're the big story here. Look again at Spurs, Sunderland, and Liverpool. Also... Brentford are perhaps paying the price for their 'keeper's shortcomings? We are safely in the good box, creating a good number of chances, and not allowing many the other way. The Top Left box is where you don't want to be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa are an interesting one as well, they're not doing great, but by these measures they should actually be doing even worse... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 28533 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Just seen. This time last season we had same points but we had two less goals than this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12573 Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 After 9 games: we're creating an all right amount, not great, not bad, but our finishing has been poor. I think as our attacking line begins to get a better understanding (and when Wissa hopefully hits the ground running) we should see movement up towards the top right. Thankfully, our defending has been very good, it;s a little frustrating that we've conceded more goals than you'd expect, but this could be a combination of good finishes, and small sample size. These two combine to actually put us in the bottom right square, aka the good one. That's where you're creating a good number of chances, but conceding few. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12573 Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 (edited) I was curious as to whether this season was as tight as I thought, so I had a quick fiddle around. After that side quest I started to look at the numbers. After game week 5 this was the spread last season and this; Liverpool took a big lead this season but actually the rest of the league is quite congested compared to 24/25 After 9 games you can see it's significantly more congested. Only 6pts currently separate 2nd and 13th, in 24/25 it was 11. Edited October 30 by The Fish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Neil McDonald took the pens for a while before he went to Everton. Struggling after that like McDonald also had a lot of shots from free kicks iirc. The one where they used to pass it along the front of the box so they could avoid the wall. Edited November 3 by AgentAxeman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 43925 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 There's a great photo of Hudspeth holding the cup next to a policeman at Wembley and he looks about 50, I'm pretty sure he had a long career here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12372 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 When you consider Wharton & McDonald played alongside each other for 3 years, that's some return from our defence. As Alex points out McDonald was the penalty taker for a couple of years so that explains some of them. He's another one we missed (alongside Goddard) following the summer of 1988 and we never adequately replaced. IIRC he got the hump because McFaul kept playing him as a right winger when he preferred right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
