Stats comparison to last season

Thought it might be interesting to have a look at our attacking stats, seen a few comments about our attack not clicking and how that's similar to the start last season. I think we're looking more convincing going forward than 12 months ago despite being a division up. As I write this I haven't done the comparison so purely going on an eye test and my memory.




I know we've scored less but considering we're a division up, I think all the other stats are promising. Improve our finishing and we'll score more this season than we did last

    We need to sign 3 or 4 strikers?

    'Just improve our finishing'. 

    Better finishers outperform their xG and worse finishers don't. We need to look at who these chances are falling to and why they're not finishing them. 

    3.63/40 = 0.091 - Average quality of chance this season
    1.93/20 = 
    0.096 - Average quality of chance last year.

    Shows last season on average we did create better chances, even if less frequent. Probably why we have 11 on target out of 20 compared with 14 out of 40. 5 big chances out of 20 rather than 7 out of 40. 

    So actually it kinda proves that even last year we did create better quality chances in the games last season, even if we are creating more this season. 
  • Early doors yet and the Championship is a different level compared to last season.

    We're not going to underperform our xG by that margin all season. The stats should even themselves out over a bigger sample, but it looks very promising.

    It will come as long as we keep creating the chances, I’m not particularly worried - it’s only a three game sample size. 

    If we’re still underperforming in xG and “shot conversion” rates to the extent that we are by 10-12 games in then that will be a worry.

    For now it’s well within the realms of expectation for any team that’s hitting a cold spell in front of goal.
