Our first half performances are killing us. And we don't have a fitness issue. We are best in the last 20 minutes when it comes to performances.

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We have a couple of really good engines in midfield at the moment in Fulton and Gallagher.

 

[CroJack]

We are particularly poor between 5th and 15th, 20th and 30th, and between 40th and 45th minute. Why?

 

[CroJack]

We have progressed in the expected points table. We have been creating more chances since January, and that's Gallagher's impact, but our style of play sucks - we allow too many chances against.

Notice Fulham's uptick right at the end of the game .... and we succumbed there and then to the sucker punch.

@CroJack ... any changes in our position in those Quad graphs you produced a month or so back.

We don't compete. The other team is fresh and they carry the edge. We also seem to start slow in the second half ... Andy Pandy's half time talk doing us the world of good there.

I don't know, but there is a significant change in the expected goals and expected points table. A couple of months ago we were in the bottom half, now we are in 9th place. We create better chances now, and as I mentioned before it's Gallagher's creativity and Brewster & Garrick's pace up front that has rocketed us up in the xG and xP table. It's a pity we have been poor defensively, but now with Rodon and Cabango as centre-backs I'm sure we'll improve in that department unless Cooper gets a 'bright' idea to play Guehi there again.

Very interesting. What are they measuring?

Very interesting. What are they measuring?

They have analysed every match minute by minute to see when exactly the teams were winning, drawing and losing. Then they calculated the average. Then they converted that to points to see where would the teams be in the Championship table.

It doesn't surprise me that we have not been doing well in the first halves of the matches we have played - we almost always concede first and then chase the result.

It looks like Blackburn drops right about the 63rd minute
