You don't get to the top / bottom of each of those scales by accident
Just 2 goals a game would work nicely from here onThe only thing you would say to that is we are massively outperforming our xG scored, and that is not sustainable.
But then that's OK, as we can't be expected to keep averaging 2.75 goals per game.
But we'd struggle without EMC and RudoniThe only thing you would say to that is we are massively outperforming our xG scored, and that is not sustainable.

The pre-season suggestions that we needed massive upgrades on our strikers look quite silly now.
Then again, so do the suggestions that we needed massive upgrades to the back four.
Latibeaudiere is a decent 4th option too , alongside Perry there won't be many sides who have that depthI agree , the lads starting at the back are still several years from being at their peak .. we have 3 very good championship centre halves currently in the matchday squad
Nah, the Coventry modelThe difference has been Rushworth. He took a couple of games but Kitching and Thomas both look better with him behind them. You have to say that Frank and his team have responded to what's been needed in a measured way. Incremental improvements. Its the Brentford Way
Or maybe its Starmerism? ( tin hat)
The overperformance came in 1 game. 7 goals scored v 1 xgThe only thing you would say to that is we are massively outperforming our xG scored, and that is not sustainable.
But then that's OK, as we can't be expected to keep averaging 2.75 goals per game.
As said above, the only massive overperformance was against QPR, and we massively underperformed against Norwich, which actually was our highest xG.The only thing you would say to that is we are massively outperforming our xG scored, and that is not sustainable.

Norwich escaping with a point was genuinely insane wasn't it.As said above, the only massive overperformance was against QPR, and we massively underperformed against Norwich, which actually was our highest xG.

It was, but in reality it was us that escaped with a point.Norwich escaping with a point was genuinely insane wasn't it.
Rushworth has been instrumental in some of the clean sheets recently, especially against Leicester and Millwall. Some of the saves he's pulled off have been superb.
He has really integrated into the team now and you can see the backline have a lot of confidence in him too.
He’s on the cusp of being a premier league keeper.. it was very easy for us (me included) to doubt him over the first few games as we are so used to Clown 1 and Clown 2 in goal
BTA has been a revelation this season....when not being played as a lone striker. He has been all over the pitch creating havoc. Simms has joined in also but would you say he would do the job of Wright? 7 goals from 8 games scoring on average every 75 minutes.The pre-season suggestions that we needed massive upgrades on our strikers look quite silly now.
Then again, so do the suggestions that we needed massive upgrades to the back four.
