Guess we can't complain about only having 1 point then, although you could also argue that xGF should have us on more points. But thats the price you pay for starting the season with below par strikers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Oof. Defence totally turned off. Steffen did well to get a touch there and not give away a pen Link to post Share on other sites
csimpson82 124 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 After the Reading game yesterday can we do allow Lumley to play on Saturday rather than usual loan agreement Link to post Share on other sites

To me it says we are where we deserve to be unlike Stoke and WBA who are both underperforming goals wise as they should have had more goal and thus more points. Link to post Share on other sites

To have 2 points from 3 games with the best xG in the league (and an actual goals total that is relatively close) means you're conceding too many. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just make my opinions based on what I see. You can tell if a team has problems or not with good old fashioned Mk I eyeballs. 🤷♂️ Don't need none of that fancy stats malarkey. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
