We've only conceded twice (both in 1-0 defeats). xG 9.04 - 8 goals scored. xGA 2.21 - 2 goals conceded. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are, but it's not good. We're only expected to score 1 more goal than our opponents, on average per game. And these - outwith Celtic - are the easy games! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuddie 1,693 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 To be fair 2.21 xga in 5 games is pretty impressive no? I thought we've been pretty good defensively this season and that pretty much backs it up. Wouldn't that track for sub 20 goals against over 38 games? I've always said we score enough, if we do hit sub 20 goals against and hit a similar amount of goals for as last season then I think we could win the league. Gives me confidence at least. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuddie 1,693 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Looked into it, it would track for 16.7 goals conceded (I think). Obviously early but that's pleasing signs defensively for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Ro55 761 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 XG aside, no offence Rosseau. Surely everyone can see how badly we are playing with their eyes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great, but football doesn't work like that. It's too tight to be dependable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
