When I have time I might do a clean sheets allowed table - basically how many times has a team scored 0 and ‘allowed’ the opposition a clean sheet. I can’t find that stat readily available anywhere so will have to work it out manually.
For Charlton, this number would also be 3 (Bolton, Peterborough, Shrewsbury) which I suspect is one of the best in the division.1 -

It's the coaching and tactics that's created such a tight backline. Plus having the right combination.
8 clean sheets for struggling Cambridge is very impressive too. Michael Morrison at the heart of it.1 -

Yeah we've tried 200 different defenders. Clearly it's a coaching and tactics issue.0

Or their manager. 👀👀5 -
Only 9 league clean sheets for Charlton last season.Their lowest amount since the 2019/2020 relegation back to League One. (Also 9 that season)
More Leaks than Thames Water
No improvement but it’s all about this Xg bollocks than what’s in front of your face1 -

Thanks Louis - saved me a lot of effort!Although that has now given me an idea... ratio of failed to score vs clean sheets. Wonder how well it would line up to the real league table...

I think I'll go & support Peterborough. Only failed to score in one game & 2nd best for clean sheets.0

CLEAN SHEET / FAILED TO SCORE / RATIO (ordered by ratio) / DIFFERENCE FROM LEAGUE POSITION (before points deductions)
- Peterborough 9 / 1 / 9.000 / (+3)
- Derby 9 / 2 / 4.500 / (+3)
- Bolton 8 / 2 / 4.000 / (-1)
- Barnsley 8 / 2 / 4.000 / (+3)

- Fleetwood 3 / 8 / 0.375 / (NC)
- Cheltenham 3 / 11 / 0.273 / (+1)
- Carlisle 1 / 10 / 0.100 / (-1)
In the positions that matter (top six and bottom four), there's only one change at each end:
- Top Six: Oxford out, Barnsley in
- Bottom Four: Reading out, Burton in
Obvious conclusion: if we had been able to keep 4 or 5 more clean sheets so far this season, we'd be mixing it with the playoff boys.1 - Peterborough 9 / 1 / 9.000 / (+3)

Or their manager. 👀👀
Club and manager that were made for each other. I'm surprised it took them as long as it did to come together.

The failed to score table should be compiled in the other order with the lower percentages at the top.
In other words, a ’managed to score ’ table. It just seems wrong, having tables with the weakest placed at the top.0 -

Exact same issue as last year as well. Whilst many posters have spent the last few seasons worrying about ‘where our goals are coming from’, our issue really for a long time has been at the back.
2 out of the last 3 seasons we have scored enough to be in the top 6, but not been solid enough at the back to reflect that - and it looks like this season is going to be the same.
The annoying thing is it was clear during that game against Wealdstone that non of those issues were solved and that there were massive gaps everywhere and lack of communication at the back.
Now it’s feel like it’s almost become a monkey on our back and imbedded in our cultural fabric. I don’t often agree with much of SLER’s often dour posts but really feel like it’s a coaching/tactical thing by now.I include everyone as part of this problem. Dobson included.0 -

Since relegation from the Championship
2020/21 - F 70 A 56
2021/22 - F 55 A 59
2022/23 - F 70 A 66
After 19 games
2023/24 - F 32 A 27
Extrapolating to 46 games
2023/24 - F 77 A 65
So we've got consistently worse at the back every full season, and this season shows no sign of improvement.0 -
The old saying.Attack wins games
Defence win championships4 -
Yep, our problem has been obvious for a couple of seasons now. People obsessing over a 20 goal a season but clear that the problem is at the other end1

If the attack wins you games, and therefore you win all your games, then you win the title.0 -
If it wasn't for Alfie May we'd be in the bottom 4.
Just look at Cheltenham3 -

Bolton have had clean sheets in 8/10 of their last matches. It makes it so easy to win.
We've had many windows to build a top defence and failed. Look at Portsmouth who have put together that backline of: Ogilvie, Shaughnessy, Ragget and Rafferty along with Poole. I'd swap ours for theirs in an absolute heartbeat.
Then Stevenage who have built a squad who can press and press – 1st in the league for Possession won in the final 3rd. They take pressure off their defence by making it hard to reach it in the first place.
We haven't built anything, neither in style or in player selection (other than the signing of Jones, which is an improvement). Hopefully that is about to change in January. (Doubtful, but hopeful).4 -
Said from the start of the season we have one of the worst defences in the league. You could still probably go and look at almost, every other team in the league and pick anywhere between 1-4 defenders that replace ours.
This list is hardly surprising for me tbh0 -
Main thing is to get a settled side. Get a back 4 all playing together regularly and you might see a bit more solidity.0
