More defensive? It seems you don't like it.
at 12:41 20 Dec 2020

Using the expected goals measure of team performance it seems we have been playing much more defensively in the last five matches?

Expected goals (source - Infogol), mainly a measure of chances created, look like this over the last ten games -

Blackburn Away 2.35 - 1.90 (us)
Watford Home 1.72 (us) - 1.49
Rotherham Home 2.19 (us) - 1.85
Brentford Away 0.94 - 1.25 (us)
Bristol City Home 2.93 (us) - 1.93
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Huddersfield Away 1.02 - 0.23 (us)
Millwall Away 0.72 - 0.77 (us)
Reading Home 0.96 (us) - 0.28
Stoke Home 1.05 (us) - 0.52
Wycombe Away 1.99 - 0.61 (us)

It looks like the Bristol City game was the last straw for Mark Warburton and he switched to a more defensive strategy against Huddersfield which had an inauspicious beginning. Maybe the criticism of letting in two goals a game finally got to him?

Anyway the nature of the results has changed. In the first four of those matches we scored 6, conceded 8. In the last four matches we have scored 2, conceded 3.

It seems a lot of people don't like it. Their reaction is a scattergun blaming of everything and everybody, but mainly Warbs.

Is there anything in this more defensive switch?

Infogol currently forecast us finishing 17th.
