For those of you that can't or don't want to click the link..... Mark Oxley has so far kept the most clean sheets out of any keeper in top 4 divisions in 2018.
Again, these facts warp the truth a bit.
No they don't and if you think being exactly half way in the league is 'fairly dire', I give up.
Again, these facts warp the truth a bit. I like Oxley, but that fact is over two 1/2 seasons. The last half of 17-18 we had bit of a bounce after PB's sacking but the 1st half of 18-19 we've been (on the whole) fairly dire and he's let in 28 in 22 league games.
It'll be 23 in 19 this season (Stockdale let in 5 in 3).
Over 46 matches that'd work out as 55 goals, which is as many as we conceded the last time we reached the play-offs in this division in 2007/08.
Goals conceded over the regular season by the team promoted from the play-offs the last 10 seasons:
53, 57, 54, 40, 58, 56, 47, 75(!), 44, 63.
The three teams conceding totals in the 40s all finished 3rd.
To my surprise this would suggest we've a play-off calibre defensive record
Elsewhere, Elvis now has 9 clean sheets from his 17 league starts (and that's not even counting the clean sheet v Scunthorpe when he came on after 15 mins).
Great stats and just shows how poor the standard can be in this league.
Who was the team promoted conceding 75 goals?
