ZipFranchise FCSnowball We are currently scoring from 1 in 4 of all shots.
I think it was Ipswich who topped the league for a while with a similar
"crazy" conversion rate. When the rate reverted to average they dropped
down the table and were eventually relegated.
But I don't think our scoring is "freaky". We are getting no extra luck.
I think we are running a tight game (certainly suggested by our goals against column)
and, instead of wasteful long-shots, we are working good chances.
Because they are better than average chances, more go in.
Not sure Ben Foster would necessarily agree that we’ve had no extra luck
Not really. The shot did take a deflection but Puscas was in the six yard box having turned the defender so it was a great chance.

Snowflake RoyalZip Snowers. Aerials won. Is that 19th as in better than only 5 teams?
The least number of shots is a real surprise. It must be incredibly rare for a team doing so well to have had fewer shots than the rest of the League.
This all ties in with the xgoals posse.
We've bucked that trend many a time. We shoot less and score a high percentage because we mainly try to shoot when in a good position. We take relatively few big pot shots from distance.

Sure we look a bit predictable at times but our manager has just come in and ripped up the playbook we had under Bowen, I’m stunned people talking about us aren’t taking that into account because we are not going to be playing free flowing football immediately.

Stranded How are we second?
It's because we've deservedly won all four games but with a slightly inferior GD than Bristol City isn't it?

Laurent was Bowen's recruitment. On a free a total bargain. Seamlessly fitted into the side as well.

Stranded Quite right, I meant slightly inferior number of goals scored, which is a tie breaker

Not sure how he's ripped up the play book playing mostly the same formation and players.
Set pieces do seem more varied and effective, mind..

I'm not enough of an expert to say exactly how we are different
from last season, but IMO we look like a new side with six new
players, more flair, more jazz, more courage, braver passes, a LOT
more running, more pressing, more tackles, more fire-in-the-belly,
more team spirit, more HOEL and way better at free-kicks and corners
and mostly WITHOUT our alleged best player in Swift

TiagoIlori Ok let me rephrase, is probably looking to make some changes to make the team play how he wants us to play. Rafael himself said Bowen was more about long balls and Pauno was more about playing out from the back with a high tempo. That stuff takes a lot of time to do.

Fair enough, although descriptions of Bowen as longball are way off IMO.

Simmops Stats are absolutely meaningless. The only thing that matters is the score.
