Care to re-appraise the highlighted paragraph? Just curious and not really wanting to score a point (we’ll a tiny bit ?) but how does the goals scored / goals conceded look if we include cup games ?

Last season's foray into the league cup was a 1-0 win over Grimsby and a 3-2 defeat to Barnsley. This season, a 2-0 win at Oldham was followed by a 4-0 win at Hull, then a 2-2 draw at Man Utd (winning on penalties) and a 3-2 defeat at Chelsea. Therefore, if we include those results, at this stage last season we had scored 9 goals fewer and conceded one goal more, acquired three fewer points and exited the League Cup two rounds earlier.

Course that’s including 2 rounds that weren’t played last season, against top premier league opposition, that we conceded 5 goals in total against. Really it should be a like for like comparison. So in the two rounds we played under Rowett, vs the first two rounds under Lampard, we scored 3 more and conceded 3 less. That’s pretty emphatic.

May Contain Nuts Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Just back to the shaky defense discussion for a minute. We've only managed 3 clean sheets in the league from 16 matches (5/20 overall). It stands to reason to think of our defence as shaky when 13/16 of our opponents have managed to score against us. Only 6 teams have fewer clean sheets in the league (3 equal our 3). If you're pretty much guaranteed to concede at least one goal in a match then your defence will never be considered solid even if the cumulative goals against tally stays reasonably low. On the positive side of it we've only conceded more than 1 goal in 2 of our 16 league matches (4/20 overall) and haven't conceded more than 1 goal in a league match since 18th August, a run of 13 games.

angieram Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Here are the views of the Villa fans before tomorrow's game. They don't seem to know much about us, apart from Keogh. Or should that be, especially Keogh? https://www.villatalk.com/topic/18164-Derby-pre-match/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keogh is prone to hilarious errors right enough, but they don't come from pressing him because he's not comfortable on the ball. They come from the deep within himself.

If you want a like-for-like comparison which uses Rowett as the baseline, I'll need more razor blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Here’s one from Claret Gritters off the Villa Forum “Derby must have had an off day on Saturday. We were lucky to catch them in such poor form. I don’t think injuries helped them either.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
