That's really worrying, isn't it?
That suggests that we're very disjointed up front. For all of the possession, XG and 'touches in the opposition box' I still feel that we look toothless.
There were signs of improvement last night with a couple of chances you'd expect to be put away being missed, but with 3 away games in a row and the likelihood of a fair bit of squad rotation i'm just not feeling confident that we're suddenly going to be more prolific |  | | |  |

TBF to sammy, he has put two on a plate for hirst who fluffed both. Jaden, i don't think we'll ever see one lol, that's not his game
Clarke should have had about 3 |  |

Huge chances being missed week in week out ...
Clarke should have had one last night with the Azon header. |  | | |

I think we're creating plenty but we're not clinical enough. We've had two games where we've been clinical and we battered the opposition, but every other game we've missed some very good chances. You've got to take one of the two chances that fell to Azon, or the ones that fell to Nunez and Taylor. You can't be missing four chances of that calibre at this level. I agree that we still don't seem to have fully clicked as an attacking force and if we do it's going to be bad news for the rest of the league because even as a disjointed unit we're creating a lot of decent chances compared to other sides. |  |

Depends on how you look at it....
Have they created decent chances that have been missed?
Clarke stuck one on Azon's head last night with a great cross...
Another day, that's an assist?
We just won 4-1 away... I'm not stressed about the away fixtures. In which we tend to be given a bit more space in the wing positions.. | | | |

I think we're creating chances but not taking them - I mean:
Azon: 0 goals
Szmodics: 0 goals
Akpom: 0 goals
Egeli: 0 goals
McAteer: 0 goals
Cajuste: 0 goals
Taylor: 0 goals
All of them are meant to be attacking players.... |  |

What? Jaden teed up a beauty of an assist for Kipre just last night, it's just that Kipre's the last person you'd want to hit it. | | | |

You've missed a couple of our attacking players out there. Namely the ones who've scored six, five and five goals.
The distribution of our goals is a bit weird and a couple of players look like they need reminding what the goal looks like, but we're the third-highest scorers in the league with a game in hand. Let's not be silly. | | | |

We've scored 7 in 5 away from home. Before QPR that would have been 3 in 4! I admire your confidence, but QPR wasn't the norm | | | |

Assists are the dumbest bluntest stat in the world.
You can have Arnold Muhren in midfield but if you have Samassi Abou up front Arnold Muhren won’t get any assists. Chance creation is a much better stat. |  |

Isn't that just ignoring statistics to suit your narrative? They're all games that count, who's to say it won't become the norm. |  | | |

confidence in and around the box seems very low. I think Lee Grant is missed in that regard |  | | |

That's literally what you've just done. Picked one example and using that as evidence that we score more away from home! When actually that example is the outlier
Anyway, I hope you're right. But the stat of one zero assists between those players definitely suggests that we aren't putting chances away | | | |

I didn't, I just stated that it counts. I didn't use it as an example alone, I'm not saying that it WILL be the norm, just that it could be.
These things will even themselves out over the season, but the league doesn't disregard results because they are outliers, so why are you? | | | |

I'm not ignoring it. I literally said we've scored 7 in 5 away from home which isn't particularly prolific. I also then took the QPR game out of the equation as that is the statistical outlier, albeit on a small sample size at this time
If you want an indication of how a team is performing, you don't just use the last result, you look at positions, form guides etc. | | | |

Which in itself feels ridiculous as there' definitely feels like a consensus around us spurning chances
What do you think is going wrong, if you feel like we're scoring enough? | | | |

This is the issue . Productivity from midfield and the 10 position is killing us co-joined with the lack of composure in front of goal [Post edited 5 Nov 14:35]

What do you mean “wrong”? We are creating lots of chances and are the third highest scorers in the division. You’ve described success. | |

Who cares? Should we start taking away Coventry’s biggest wins too? | |
