Attacking

First let’s look at attacking in detail, with the horizontal axis showing average shots taken per match (i.e. further right is better) and the vertical showing the average number of shots it takes to score each goal (i.e. lower is more clinical, thus better). Bottom right is the place to be, as clubs here are taking lots of shots and not needing many attempts to find the net, although top right and bottom left aren’t necessarily bad if the balance is right.
[h=5] [/h] [h=5]Defending[/h] Now let’s look at defensive effectiveness by replacing “shots taken” on both axes with “shots faced”. Here clubs should aspire to be in the top left: facing a low number of shots and being able to withstand a high number of shots for each goal conceded.
[h=5] [/h]Brighton – The execution – and perhaps a bit of luck – is all that appears to be lacking for Brighton so far. Up front, they’ve created more chances than any Football League side except Norwich, but also have the second most wasteful attack. At the back, they have allowed the fewest attempts at their goal of any Championship side but only three defences have required fewer shots on average to breach.
