They are (metrics improved), you see it as well,
It's not a contentious thing
It's a fact, it's not a lie. Whatever people see with their eyes, whatever we see with our eyes, we feel it and we see the team is better.
The young players we have are better than where they were 18 months ago
The established players are better than where they were 18 months ago
That's not an opinion, it's a fact
The team is better in every metric than when we played here 18 months ago or whenever it was when we first walked into the building,
But the team is much better, in our performance, the chances it gives up, although we concede too many goals
But we're not building a block at a time; we build, then we lose a lot of the foundations. Then we have to build again

Not a mention of what the individual metrics for players are.
All could well be true, but only one metric really matters and that’s not losing, and then winning.
It’s a team game, so to be successful
The Whole must be Greater than the Sum of its Parts
To add we've only had 6 clean sheets this season.
