61 attacks or is that percentage? Never seen that stat before 

No it’s a no of attacks which will be measured by the ball entries into a pre determined area of the pitch.

Dangerous attacks will be measured the same way into a more dangerous ‘zone’ of the pitch.

So we're getting in the right areas, just not making the most of it. 61 sounds a lot for a 45 minute half.

Possibly but an ‘attack’ may be deemed an attack simply by us putting a ball entry into a set zone such as this :-

So an attack my be an entry into zone 10/11/12 but a dangerous attack may be 13-18

All levels of the club seem to be suffering this season...

The best U-23s are with the first team
The best U-18s are with the U23s
Our U-18s are made up of around 50% 'youth' players (who, some of them, are undoubtedly good players... it's just 16 to 18 is a big gap in terms of physicality at that age).

It's sad to see the youth teams struggling so badly. It can't be a great time to be at the club for the senior players, let alone the young'uns. The plight of the club allied to the colossal stupidity of so many EFL regulations has clearly impacted playing rosters for all age groups, but while the seniors have hunkered down with warriors like Curtis and Jags to steady the ship, the younger lads look unsettled and short on confidence.

On a side note, the EFL reg decreeing that watching our U23s would snatch millions from the Sky purse, hence no live coverage, is so telling in so many ways. I really do despise them as an organisation.
