We are not anymore a shot-shy team

[CroJack]

I know we have to wait for the Huddersfield v Derby game, but I doubt either will have more shots than the Swans in the first round of the Championship.

Only Brentford and Preston are ahead of us at possession %:



We are second- best at passing accuracy:



We are second-best at short-passes:


Also lowest number of long balls:

There are also some other positive signs:

• We press more than we did last season
• We play more in opposition third than we did last season
• We haven't conceded from a set-piece yet
• We put more crosses into opposition box than we did last season

42% (8 out of 19) shots were on target.

Five shots were blocked and they were also on target. Official statistics sucks. If a defender clears the ball from the goal line then Opta, Whoscored etc. won't count that shot as a shot on target, but a blocked shot. Stupid. I'll post here my own stats from the game later next week.

That's incredible it didn't seem like they took that many chances at all.
