Highest open play xG in League One

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

For what it’s worth, we have the highest open play xG in League One. According to thenearpost.org

As an aside, their Tweet with nine highest EFL xGs on is telling for another reason: our badge is the only one without the name of the club on, so anyone seeing the image won’t have any idea what club it is.

What are you talking about, we are massive - everyone knows the jester pigeon is Cheltenham Town Football Club...

When is this for? This season? Last season? Last season and 2 games this season combined?

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

This season. Both games combined I think.

Interesting that our xG is 2.64 after scoring 2 goals in one game and none in the second, then. And when we should have been 4 or 5-0 up at half time in the first game. I have no idea how this works. Maths never my strong point, though, especially working out averages.

xG isn’t a perfect indicator as basically no chances have an xG of one. Often goals will be scored where the xG for the chance is something like 0.2. A team would need 5 chances with such an xG to have an xG of one.

This is a different source which provides xG timelines.

For the Peterborough game it ended with our xG of 1.4 and Peterborough’s 1.9. We were ahead at HT.

May was our leading player with 0.5 xG.

what a load of tosh
Someone using stats for click bait
All I know is that we are now in the bottom 4 that is the only stat I am interested in

A good xG does show we are doing something right in the way we play and attack though, which is good for our chances of getting out of the bottom four.

Correct - and a good xG suggests we will score goals, so we can confident that we can score more as you suggest. It will be why Wade isn’t panicking and won’t be quick to change as our approach is working so far.

He'd have to give up his day-job as an investment adviser: "buy low; sell high."
