No doubt we could and should put away more than we do.
Amazingly though my impression so far is that it is costing us less points. I’m sure there’s someone on here that can prove/disprove that with s few stats.
Our defence looks a lot more solid.
It gives us breathing space when one cockup doesn’t derail us. It means we can keep at our game and the goals eventually come.
I don’t think our conversion rate is any worse than last season, not that that was all it could be. We’re just giving up less chances at our end.
PL 2018/19
Team Attempts Goals %Conversion
City..... 198.......26.......13.13%
Dippers.126.......16.......12.7%
Chavs....163.......20.......12.27%
Spuds....126.......16.......12.7%
Arse.......116.......22.......18.9%
Scum.....119.......15........12.6%
So despite appearing to miss too many chances, only Arse are converting a higher percentage. As I said elsewhere, we create enough to allow for the misses. And we appear tighter at the back this season. If we can convert as many as they do god help the rest!!! CTID
