Stats from WhoScored. Shows we certainly are deserving of a top-half place, and continue to move in the right direction. Hard to argue with the top five players too, had it not been for injury, I'd have suggested Clyne and Boruc in the top five though. please log in to view this image DTLW
Shots per game & Conversion rate are not terrible, but when compared to possession and tackles it's where we need to work on our game and I hope that recent long range success would make us pull the trigger just that little more
It's great, but there is something not right about a Saints side being in the top four for defensive records
Sadly the defensive record looks good because of our early performance, but has fallen off. Will feel better if the stat picks up over next few games and we are officially back on the proper path.
True, it never happened when Joe Kirkup was playing Not that I'm picking on him, more or less any defence from 1965 onwards would do.
