Interesting statistics from this season (Nov 2025)

Just seen this article on the BBC site.

We all know we are short of firepower, but I didn't realise we were performing quite strong in many other areas:

• Most corners in the league - 26 more than anyone else
• Statistically the best in the league at winning the ball in the final third
• 2nd most touches in opposition box - 425 (only Coventry have had more)

The article also states we are:

• The only team in the league not to score a header
• The lowest scorers (which we knew)

Over to you Patrick Bamford. No pressure

What have we learned from the Championship so far?

Makes those Selles decisions to sell Moore, not replace him, and bin off McBurnie all the more understandable.

All those corners and no headed goal. Who’d have thought that with the mighty McG, Binman, Mee, and Tanga?

We’re also shite at defending corners and other set plays. The absence of a target man striker for those situations doesn’t help. Makes us hugely vulnerable

Moore, and especially McB were very useful at defending set pieces for us. The target man is a miss not only at the top of the pitch, but in our defensive situations as well.

If you have no one to hit from set pieces and can't convert in the box then it makes no difference sadly.
