upthebracket Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Second most breached out of the top 10. If we look at stats like that I guess we're in the bottom three out of the top 10 in the table so yeah... sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 13th best in the division. So about smack bang in midtable then...but the best attack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I noticed that Frank has made the joint second highest number of saves in the Championship on 31 which suggests that far too many balls are getting through to our keeper. As long as they are not going in though its not really too much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are not going in though its not really too much of a problem. Well for me it isn't too much a worry. Many seem to be long shots because we clear most crosses now with Flint, Baker and Wright. The only space they're finding is 25-30 yards out and a lot of saves I've seen FF make this season have been pretty routine meaning he should've saved them. We are harder to find space against in the box. Derby found some just outside the box Saturday which worried me a bit but think every shot they took from that area was blocked. We play quite open so teams will score against us but we just feel so much stronger defensively this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are not going in though its not really too much of a problem. Very true- but it could be a harbinger of less positive times ahead. Question is, is it part of the system/plan or is it a good run i.e. above expectations defensively, that may come to an end? Or does our setup give the opposition a fair few shots but ones which may not go in- i.e. away as best possible from the danger zone. One goal we definitely shouldn't have conceded was Villa's equaliser. Now don't get me wrong a point was a good result and arguably we shaded it, but if you look back at the goal, 2 or 3 defenders after the initial block could have surrounded Onomah more- admittedly was a great strike and maybe a slight deflection too but after the initial block, Onomah got too much time/space. 07:36 (the highlights on the BCFC site) yes we got the initial nick but 2 if not 3 defenders backed off in the vicinity. As I say the deflection was unlucky but...perhaps was just one of those moments? If i'm really being picky- something I'm not inclined to be, the positioning could have been better also. Putting individual points aside, individual examples- still expect us to finish somewhere around midtable but will enjoy this for as long as it goes forward. Underlying numbers suggest midtable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman85 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Considering we have quality centre backs and the best left back in the league it is frustrating that we don't keep more clean sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thinking again... Frankie and the high saves ratio. Well it's well due- were quite a few bad games last year, where every shot on target we faced seemed to go in near enough. Especially in the bad spell. So given how the game 'evens itself out', rubbish the stats let's just ride this wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bristolcity Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I did the sad thing too and counted where we were in a league of goals conceded...can you imagine how good we could be without Flint in the back 4/3? Love the bloke, but sorry he is a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Goals scored 15 Goals conceded 10. Conclusion: the defences we have played are collectively 50% more porous than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I said last season that the way teams play in this league it's very difficult to keep clean sheets, not many sides do it consistently. If we keep outscoring teams I will be more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 of them have only played together in 2 games and how many of Wolves' goals came from a cross into the box..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I cant think of a time in my time supporting City (28 or so years) that we have had a good defensive record in this league. We have always tried to score our way out of trouble and luckly its always worked and not been a massive issue thats needed to be addressed but seemingly ignored. When our energy levels drop we might run into a few more problems but lets enjoy ourselves until it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
