Heading into the Cardiff game, they hadn’t won a game all season.

Since playing and winning against us 3-1, they’ve beaten Watford 5-1, beaten Birmingham 1-0 (who are now top), drawn with West Ham 3-3 (after leading 3-0) and beaten Burnley 5-4 today.


Heading into the Norwich game, they had lost five in a row and Clement was under pressure.


Since playing and winning against us 1-3, they’ve beaten Watford 3-2, beaten Derby 4-0 and beaten Bristol City 5-0 today.

    Seems that any team that gets to the top then has a bad run of form.

    That's where the sometimes derided xG stats can be revealing.

    When a team has good xG stats, not backed up by the results on the pitch, then it's likely that things will change, and they'll start picking up results. Most pundits before we played them, said that Cardiff has been decent, they just needed to get a result to kick start their season.

    Conversely the team flying high due to scoring worldies and fluking wins elsewhere, is unlikely to keep it up. Looking at the xG table, Stoke are way above where they should be according to xG, so it'll be interesting to see if they can maintain their top 3 position.
