Hi all,
We'll try and focus all our stats analyses for the season within this thread. I'll post the xG timeline now and the average positions soon after. The other stats will have to be later on as there is a family get together about to happen which meant I couldn't be at the WFCG (will this become as often used as the WACA
).
---------------------------------------------------
Here is the xG timeline for the Nottm Forest game. I couldn’t listen to the game so I can’t fill in many details as I was following the game via Sky’s commentary. The first big chance fell to AFCB in the 4th minute which was a header by Ouattara rated as about 1 in 5. The game was then disrupted due to a bad injury to Danilo, and after this Forest took control. A kid bounce of the ball fell to Yates, whose shot – rated 1 in 8 was spilled back into the danger area by Neto presenting Wood with an easy chance (rated 7 in 10). The game then became scrappy with the only chance of note before half-time fell to Sinisterra (rated 1 in 9). Although Ouattara had a goal disallowed after a VAR check for a tight offside. At the break, the xG was Nottm Forest 0.95, AFCB 0.55.
The second half also began with limited chances with Forest happy sitting on their 1-0 lead. Although the Sky highlights focussed on a tackle by Williams that looked a clear second booking. After the unlucky send off Forest had last season for 2 yellow cards, the luck had been evened out. Neto made a good save from a Boly header (rated 1 in 14) on the hour mark, Then, a deflected cross found Tavernier in the 6 yard box although he headed over (rated 1 in 4). Late on AFCB got our own luck from a poor clearance with the ball dropping at the feet of Semenyo. The xG of 0.30 feels low although there was the keeper and a defender to beat and the keeper getting a touch on it. Forest had a couple of minor chances, and AFCB had a dangerous cross intercepted before it reached Jebbison (hence no xG). A draw seems by consensus to have been a fair result which is backed up by the xG which ended Nottm Forest 1.30, AFCB 1.22. Understat had an xG far more in our favour at Nottm Forest 1.24, AFCB 1.91.
