But on that same metric v QPR both teams had a very similar xG. According to that we should have maybe scraped a fortunate win. Reality was we absolutely dominated the game and could (probably should) have scored more
Some of our goals in that game were low Xg but that didn't look correct, hence why you can't reliably use the stats from 1 game, and should look at trends.
We only had 8 shots on target and scored 7 of them, that in itself tells us it was an outlier.
This link shows a breakdown of each goal in that game

Don’t like the form the money teams are putting together. Was much happier when they were all solidly bottom half.

I think it was always going to happen at some point but we're in complete control of our destiny
Too early to say they have all found form also

Soithampton perhaps. But might make them hire caretaker manager but that tends not to work out long term more often than it does

Ipswich still ones to fear. They threatened o go on a streak but then drop pts. Hopefully that happened today

I'm not too concerned about Leicester and prob get a points deduction anyway

Southampton were massively underperforming their xG and made up for it today. Just need to take their chances.

Ya I've said similar. But they also the lowest of parachute teams so won't worry too much just yet.

I do wonder if the caretaker is real deal or not. Time will tell
I think results were always going to turn for them with the numbers they were putting up, but we’ll see. I’m pleased to get 4 of the 6 parachute games out of the way before January anyway.

Then the remaining two both at home

All we need to do is worry about ourselves. We need about 53 more points from 30 games.

33 points would probably secure the play offs, which for us now would be almost relegation form

Clowns on here wanting Leicester to win, a draw would be the best result
I'm not the slightest bit worried about Leicester, even without any points deduction they are 13 points behind us if they win today, and if you look at the bigger picture their only win in the last 6 games was Norwich, and they had 3 defeats and 2 draws in that run.

I hate them as much as anyone, but let’s not kid ourselves that they have a far better squad than the position they currently sit in. Them Southampton and Ipswich are the ones to worry about
