We are in a false position, mostly due to the first two stats above.

A lack of form from Salech and the other attacking players in front of goal is one reason.

Goals conceded are higher than they would have been if we had not lost all the centre-backs and had to bring in reserve fullbacks and play the existing fullbacks out of position.

All the stats indicate we are a top-half team, and every opposition manager's post-match interview also says the same.

With a bit of luck with injuries, we could still make the playoffs.

Totally agreed. The passing and chances being created is very encouraging. Just gotta bury them. Law of averages indicates those will start to drop more. Just like they did against Charlton Athletic.

Seen some same sort of stats the other day and thought wtf but With everyone back after the break except for career "sick note chambers" we should mprove that stat id say Ned. Let's hope they all stay injury free the next few weeks and plenty of target practice during it in training because we should of hammered a few of them teams in truth but that's football

Just seen this stat I bet Vincent tan is over the moon

With attacking stats like we have. If we can keep them up and get the targeting working we just need to make sure we keep tight at the back because we are easily creating enough to be a dangerous side in the league. This is nothing like previous championship seasons where we could barely raise a squad let alone string some passes together. The lads play with purpose.
