-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Swansea have created 6 big chances and 3.90 xGoals against QPR which brings them back to the
top of the Championship xGoals Table.



7 scored goals from 21 xGoals is poor. We need a clinical striker.




Second worst for xGoals conceded but we improved against QPR.
Allowed only 0.55 xGoals.




Swansea are the joint-third worst for goals conceded but the clean sheet against
QPR was an improvement. The good news is that 9 teams have conceded 11 goals and 2 teams even more.

Swansea have deserved 12 points so far this season, 4 wins and 3 losses,
and when it comes to xPoints they are only 3 points behind Middlesbrough in 3rd place.



Only 3 points difference between 7th and 19th place.

If Martin persists with Benda in goal, and importantly Piroe / Cooper as #9, #10 in a 4-2-3-1 then we have the remedy to low goal production and high goals against.
