I've started a football analytics blog and have tried to put together some thoughts and numbers on Town's poor start to the season.
I live in Australia so no longer get the chance to watch games in the flesh. Would be interested in the thoughts of those of you who actually get to go to PR regularly.

Because we haven't scored more goals than the opposition in any single game.
Sorry to ruin your blog mate. |  |

Think you've hit the nail on the head.
Told my under 5's team they need to get their sh1t together and score more than the opposition. Never looked back. | | | |

You mean I could've saved myself a load of time and research if I'd just come to you first? | | | |

Someone posted on here not that long ago, that "football wasn't as simple as just kicking the ball in the net"....hmmm |  |

Good blog. Keep going and keep linking latest articles here.
Maybe in a few months if you can do a summary article for the TWTD Blogs pages with a few key trends for the season so far identified? That would give a link to your blog, too, which would help with Google search rankings.
One small typo: you talk about percentage position at one point, but I think you mean 72% possession. [Post edited 11 Sep 14:39]

To be fair, there's more to it than that, plus a sensible conclusion: We're not getting enough shots on target, which prevents us scoring despite making decent opportunities. Which is something neither mysterious nor unsolveable (improve mentality in front of goal, more practice, getting someone who can shoot straight). |  |

Appreciate that, thanks. And also cheers for spotting the typo - I've fixed it now. | | | |

Yes, my post was a joke.
I am sure it's a decent read and I will take a look during my break. | |

There's a blog section of the site where people are actively encouraged to submit articles.
I've edited it to say "Blogs pages" which I meant rather than "News pages". [Post edited 11 Sep 14:40]

My take (even though I also live in Australia) is a combination of two things:
1) Our success was built on building from the back and moving the ball through the opposition, but we always struggled to beat teams who employ a low block. Now we're the big fish in the Championship, teams are sitting back much more than they used to. We saw this in the League One promotion season. Even when we were scoring goals for fun when teams used the low block we found it really hard to break them down. We often managed to because of the relative quality of our team, but it was hard going. We still don't appear to have a Plan B and the relative quality gap is much less than League 1.
2) That secret sauce momentum. We've forgotten how to dominate teams and how to win. Four league wins in 15 months is a huge monkey on our back. Win one and I think things could turn really quickly. | | | |
