goal differential

[ATLSWAN]

I know that the team is currently 6th in the table and that is great.
From an analytics (?) standpoint, is there any concern that the GD for the team is zero while other top of table teams have +16, +12, etc. Does that mean the team has been incredibly lucky, playing above form....? Is a big crash in results coming?

When we have been beaten we have often been beaten well, which is why or GD is not great. 11 points from losing positions is a great stat about our mental toughness though.

Never mind the goal difference, still bothers me the 5 points we've thrown away in injury time in 3 games so far.

If we fail to put a dent in the playoffs this year it will be due to the first three at home. The way we’re going, if we can maintain it, which we probably can’t, we could be knocking on the door of the autos.

I think it means we’ve conceded the same number of goals as we’ve scored.

The answer probably lies somewhere amongst the xG, xGA and xGD stats.

Not a chance in hell we go up so GD irrelevant.

What about the 6 points we got in the final minutes at West Brom, Watford and Blackpool?

And the missed penalties (and penalty that was nearly conned) in those games. We're even on luck now I think.

That's my point monny.
