I've just seen this, I thought it was interesting as I know we've been critical of the strikers at time. It's a very interesting stat as at times I've heard/thought we aren't clinical enough.
I know that there has been a debate about whether we create enough, this to me would suggest we don't create a huge amount but when we do, we generally finish them.

Very interesting stats but I wonder what they classify as a big chance (that is surely subjective). That stat probably reflects the fact that we play largely on the break where, if it is done well, you tend to have more space and probably a better quality of chance than you get if you have a lot of possession and the opposition are packing their box. A relative small proportion of the goals have come from our strikers so presumably that stat is a compliment to the finishing ability of our midfielders and defenders (particularly Leahy, Bayliss and Pennington). It is always very nice to be at the op of any positive table!

A majority of those games WOULD have been a lot different had we a striker who could actually find the net! Charlton, Plymouth & yesterday spring to mind. as long as we have central defenders in midfield, left backs in midfield, forwards and midfielders and centre backs playing wing backs, a goalkeeper told to kick it wide to players playing out of position then we will never score goals, its not the forwards dont know where the goals are, its players being asked to supply them don't have the quality to do so

It would be interesting to know what period this covers. Perhaps unsurprisingly town's goals for column is catching up especially over the last few weeks. Also not clear what they mean by "big chance", could be very subjective.

the official line
Big Chances are situations where a player should reasonably be expected to score, usually in a one on one scenario or from very close range when the ball has a clear path to goal and there is low to moderate pressure on the shooter. Penalties are always considered big chances.

We rarely make big chances in terms of the above definition and we have scored all our pens so I'm not surprised it's high. This stat means nothing.

Based on the thread, I think it's up to date, someone asked what the position was like before xmas and we were still top but with a slightly lower percentage.

Fascinating stat table. Is there another one for entertainment level ?

'Clinical finishing' doesn't mean fighting off relegation, gaining promotion, or even winning or losing games. It's a fairly useless stat up there with 'number of corners' or 'best ground for a pie and pint'...
