Carl Sagan Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 With two games to go, there are two playoff places with three teams going for them and it's incredibly tight: Will it come down to goal difference? Or even goals scored, where we've managed to bag more than Bolton, but Peterborough have managed far more than either of us? If we look at the forum's favourite statistic, expected goals or xg, we apparently "should" be second top scorers in the division behind only Ipswich, but we are sadly the league's third worst finishers. Only Accrington Stanley and Oxford have poorer stats in terms of converting their chances: https://footystats.org/england/efl-league-one/xg. For that matter, we "should" also be far ahead with the second best goal difference in the league. Is our inability to take our chances going to come back and haunt us, or will we still manage to get over the line? Will it come down to GD? If it does, what side of the line will we fall on?

Curtains Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 We are in a better position now that Bolton failed to beat Accrington last night. . What I can say is me and B4 never lost faith. We should be quietly confident of the playoffs even if it’s goal difference that gets us there Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
