This should show everyone that bbm is not the problem but our front 3 have not been producing at all so far

Can level it at more than the front 3 others have been guilty of missing excellent chances? Maybe thats part of problem the right people not getting the chances often enough?

I do believe we'll hammer someone soon, whether we'd kick on from there I'm not sure. I'd say we've been entertained so far this season but its win everyone wants.

Salech with the most big chances missed with six. He also has the second highest player xG with 4.3 but only scored one.

Good thing is he's getting in the positions to have those chances and surely sooner or later he'll start taking them.

Not sure how you drag the wingers into this. I'm pretty sure it's clear evidence that they very much have been producing and the talk on here about them not being good enough is a load of old waffle, whatever fits the narrative I suppose

In fairness we have the second most accurate crosses in to the box in the league , its our finishing that is letting us down , put a prime earnie or Chopra on that pitch and we have 3 wins this season no doubts about it

Just from reading threads on here you would think we had the worst wingers in the whole football world & that they should be playing parks football, well except Tanner because he's not even good enough for that apparently.

Tanner has been guilty of missing a LOT of fairly easy chances, salech (im a fan of btw) but has been poor in front of goal, and willock always takes that extra touch and kills any shooting opportunity that he could present himself with hence why I mentioned the front three

I think everyone a bit confused by this, we been given our expected goals for the rest of the season everyone else per game.

On the sky commentary it was said that Salech has the second highest Xg behind only Will Lankshear at Boro.

He’s the guy who a couple on here hadn’t heard of who has a few goals this season.

With him up top Cardiff would be top 6.
