BCFCGav Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Taking a (brief!) moment away from tonight’s jubilation, I see Preston are reverting to type. After a shockingly strong start, they’ve lost 2 on the spin by a 7-0 aggregate scoreline. I thought I was losing the plot when they were winning every week.

The Leicester fan that came on here before our game and said that they were just outlasting a lot of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Go to Ipswich at the weekend so probably a 3rd straight defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercidered Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 It is only 2 defeats on the bounce though and as we have seen that can happen to any team in the Championship. However, I hope the losing streak continues if only to ensure the knock one outathon about Ryan Lowe doesn't start up again on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect them to regress down to the 7th - 12th region of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think Ipswich are over performing a tad XG wise depending on models. Taken as a whole Leicester are but still probably not much points wise but goals for and against. Then again there is a chance they improve over time and the two align better.

Ipswich might be over-performing both xG and xGC but they are in the right(ish) league position. Leeds, Sunderland, Ipswich and Leicester should be top 6…they are. We are in a bunch with Coventry, Cardiff, Norwich etc. Here is City’s relative position in each metric. we are doing ok, we should be top half, regardless of our passing or pressing style. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) While Preston are and were due a dip, decisions such as this assist the opposition. 2nd goal, probably the one that makes the game safe. I didn't draw it but if I'm not much mistaken Iheanacho is offside! They got a 3rd goal by the end tbh so.

A fair few teams in that table back in the Championship for this season. But the club that has fallen furthest since then must be Scunthorpe. 11th in the Championship to 4th in National League North, living it up with the likes of Chorley and Spennymoor Town.

Perhaps the and thanks Dave, the view correct or otherwise of the line drawer was that his arm or a smidgen of his head or something off. I wonder would VAR have unequivocally upheld?
