Going back to all the excitement around our strong start there was a general consensus to not judge the team until after 10 games. Well here we are 10 games in:

I think that highlights that despite what many believed were defensive frailties costing us last year that it was in fact goalscoring. Defensive stats are remarkably similar but attacking has improved (yet we're still a bit wasteful with chances.

are you sure? sharp reduction in the number of shots and shots on target by our opponents...

Granted, and I expect our possession play has something to do with that. But we have also only conceded one goal less. Now that could be a positive, in that the opposition are having to carve out much more clear cut opportunities or it could be a negative because we're conceding a similar amount of goals from fewer shots.

But the big difference is goals scored, again from fewer chances and shots on target overall. That surely is the big factor in why we've got more points and are higher in the league.

Remember that this has been done on the back of having several of our best players absent for a number of these games, and with a number of new players still to settle in. Amazing start (P.S. I'm a glass half full type of person if you couldn't tell!)

So looking at those stats-this years team has a better defence and a better attack (they’ve scored more goals with less efforts on goal).

We had less shots this year which means midfield are more defensive and we not creating many chances?

An interesting take on it. I’d suggest we’re making better chances this season.
